This week was a little bit of a trial and error week but it all worked out in the end.
Saturday, after having laid down some ground rules for Bryon the night before, he decided that he wasn't going to talk to me all day. Which was quite fine with me as I wanted to relax and get things done anyways. After a few hours of relaxing and getting to sleep in AND take a nap, I went to work and actually got to come home pretty early for a Saturday (around 9ish). Then I came home and went to sleep.
Sunday: Now here's where the trial and error really began. I started taking my Latuda (my mood stabilizer) in the morning instead of at night. I haven't had any good experiences trying that before but I figured I'd give it another go. Well, as luck would have it, I started crashing REALLY hard in the middle of Sunday School. I was getting light headed and was so tired that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. The scary part is I had coffee before church. So I should have been ready and raring to go. The sleepiness continued through main service and lunch at Nana and Papa's house.(Fun Fact: Bryon was supposed to meet me at church and then come to Nana and Papa's house with me and then after I laid down the law, he didn't speak to me and not to my surprise, never showed) Then I came home and napped for about 30 minutes. Which helped a little, then I went to work and had some sugared beverages which really helped wake me up. After work, I came home and crashed hard.
Monday, I had second thoughts about taking the Latuda in the morning, but then decided to give it a second chance, and took it again. I was foggy all morning but still managed to clean the room with Penny's litter box, do the mountain of dishes, and do my laundry before crashing hard for FOUR HOURS. I slept from about 1:30-2:00PM until 6:30 PM. The only time I woke up was to take the dogs out at around 4PM, but then I crashed again after we came back inside. After I woke up, I watched Superwoman's live broadcast, and then Dad came home and we watched "Knight Rider" until we both got tired again and went to bed.
Tuesday was a rough day. I decided to give the Latuda ANOTHER chance and took it again in the morning. BAD IDEA! I then went to wait for my paycheck and help Mom detail her mom's car. Well, as I had for the past two days previous. I started getting really tired on the way home from Gram's house, and so I crashed in the car and then slept some more when we arrived at home. Then I had to go to work and I had to go fill up my car with gas before that. Let me just say it was NOT pretty. I spent most of the ride to the gas station and work trying to keep my eyes from closing on me. Then we I got to the gas station I had the brilliant idea to get a couple of sugared beverages to try and help wake me up. Well, I drank the one with the most caffeine on the way to work, and I started getting kind of shaky. Then I drank another similarly caffeinated one when I got to work and felt like I was going to pass out for about twenty minutes. After that, it felt like my stomach was going to bust out of my abdomen. Then I took some deep breaths, thinking that it may have been anxiety, and it all leveled out around two hours after I had arrived at work. Suffice it to say, I was not glad that the night was busy AF and I was on fryer station. I was tired all night long, and I just wanted to go home and sleep. Thankfully my coworker lets me leave a few minutes before I was supposed to since we had everything done, and I went home and crashed.
Wednesday I was NOT about to let that medication ruin another day, and I didn't take my Latuda in the morning. The weird thing is I had an amazing amount of energy, I didn't take a nap, and I was even in a pretty good mood considering I didn't get a nap. Then I went to work... (dun dun dun) Everything was seemingly okay until my one coworker realized it was just going to be four of us. Then she started avoiding the phone and getting short with our manager, and when he picked at her about it while we were slow she said she was "More anti-people than normal". So basically, I spent the entire night trying to fill my station, keep up with my own orders, AND answer the phone 99% of the night. Needless to say, I was more than ready when the manager told me I could go home. I was exhausted and promptly went home, wound down, and crashed.
Yesterday I went to Bible Study/Prayer meeting in the morning like I usually do, and then, after spending the afternoon trying to update my phone and get it backed up, I went to court for Simi's license being late. I took care of that with only a minimum fee and then went home to do the dishes and relax for the rest of the night.
Today was set to be a day where I didn't have anything planned but then the orthopedic doctor's office called and asked if I wanted to switch my appointment to today at 3:20 PM. So naturally I said yes, and I'm heading out there with Mom a little early so she can do the banking and stuff. So, it's going to be a good day today.
Thank you for reading and I hope I didn't bore you too much.
Keep on being Awesome,
Cass
