Squirrels in my brain

I had another rough night. I had dreams and headaches. I woke up around 5 with my head in excruciating pain. I took my migraine med and I only had one left. I did a refill. I will pick it up tomorrow. I was able to get back to sleep. I woke up again around 10. My sister made chili and wanted me to put it away. I had some and then put it away while I had my coffee. I did a few loads of laundry. I want to go out to get some half and half but I ran out of energy. I will go tomorrow.

I managed to brush my teeth but I haven’t shaved yet. I don’t know if I am going to. Might do it tomorrow. Or I might use the electric shaver. I have been doing that on days I don’t have the energy to shave in the bathroom. I took out chicken last night and didn’t have a chance to cook it today. I will do that tomorrow, maybe after I make a run to the grocery store.

I had a meeting with my psychiatrist. Our internet was bad so he called me. We talked about the DMH decision and how I remedied it. I will call this week to see if they have received the documents. We also talked about going up on the Effexor. He will be calling in a script for 75 mg, bringing my dose to the max of 225 mg. It has been the only antidepressant that really hasn’t caused me side effects and has helped with my mood. I told him my neuro thinks the headaches are migraines and has put me on an injector medication. I should hopefully hear this week whether it has been approved by my insurance.

I feel kind of down. I did stuff I didn’t plan on doing but needed to be done. I wish I had the energy to go out but I can do it tomorrow. I just hope I get some decent sleep or I am not going to want to do anything. I haven’t touched my book the last few days because frankly, I just can’t stop reading it when I pick it up. It is so fricken good. If you haven’t read The Education of Henry Adams, you should. It is a good book.

I think I am going to watch Friends. I keep watching the same reels on Facebook and I miss it so much. Matthew Perry was Chandler and I know he didn’t want to be remembered as just Chandler but I think he will. He is the guy that made a lot of people laugh and people need laughter over everything else.
