Starting to feel better finally from this weird throat thing that I have. Now I am just congested with either a cold or allergies. My throat pain finally dissipated sometime this morning so I can swallow a little better but my head just feels like it is underwater. The pressure is incredible. I just took a bunch of pills to make it go away, from decongestants to antihistamines to Tylenol.
I am still debating getting out of the house and going to the ATM to get me a steak and cheese sub. I am starving as I have not really eaten anything in two days. The good news is that I lost some weight and hope it stays off. My appetite has not been what is has been since lowering my anti-psychotic meds. Since I have been having trouble swallowing the past two nights, I haven’t really been taking my meds. It just hurt too much. I just hope there isn’t a big backlash to that.
I am hoping to catch a nap today as I woke up at 3 in the morning in pain again, this time it was my throat and not my ankle. I am really tired and maybe that is why I feel so sluggish. I know not eating has something to do with that as well. I had a bowl of cereal today and it went down ok. But now I am not hungry, even though I really want a steak and cheese sub. I still have some time though to get it. I might get it for dinner unless my mother makes something that isn’t pasta. I am sick of pasta.
I have been feeling blue most of the day. I don’t really know why. I guess I still am not feeling myself and am not looking forward to going to my father’s appt tomorrow. I wish I could get out of it but someone has to take him because he doesn’t read English and someone has to be there with him to know what is going on. He can’t be trusted to remember what the doctors say to him because he gets confused, but then he is 81 years old…
I am doing a favor for my friend in writing a review for her books. Her book about dog companionship has me going into her life more than I already know about her. It is kind of fun reading it because she has some fun dog stories which I am sure were not fun at the time they happened. On the back cover of the book cover, is a man in an ’04 Red Sox Championship T-shirt holding a puppy. It is the cutest and the pic took me back to when my boys won that Series. It brings tears to my eyes still every time I write about it, but then baseball stories will do that to me. I had watched the DVD of the ’07 Series and cried all through it because I remember what the team went through to get to the World Series and sweep the Rockies in the end. Good times!!
Tonight my Sox are playing Tampa Bay. I hate that team. Can’t stand the manager at all, never have. It used to be that it was the weakest link the in the AL East but now they have become challengers for contention over the years. I don’t know how that happened! Now the weakest link in the AL is the Houston Astros. What I still can’t believe is that the Milwaukee Brewers are still a team. I thought they would have phased out long ago but since they have been on the National League, they never play Boston anymore so it’s easy to forget they exist.
My friend in Chicago has just started graduate studies for a doctoral degree in psychology. I told him I would help him anyway I could so I am sending, or will be sending him, a couple of Jobes books to him for his interest in suicide. I think that the books I will be sending him should be standard textbooks for all those in the mental health field, not just in the field of psychology. I may be biased because I am a HUGE Jobes fan but as long as there is interest in the field, I say go for it!! I would like to consider myself the Jobes representative in the East coast, LOL.
