Was any of it true
I slept for a few hours and then was up around 130am and have been up since then. I couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried to settle down but couldn’t. I went to my appointment and was a little late. I left the house kind of late as I couldn’t get going. I took a cab to the Square as I wanted Starbucks. Luckily there was a fifteen minute grace period and I was just ten minutes late. The NP was good. We went over options and decided to increase the Topamax and if that didn’t decrease the amount of headaches/migraines by the time I saw my neuro in Nov, it might be worth switching the preventable injection to something else.
After the appointment, I went to social security. I found out they did change my gender marker for social security but they didn’t change it for my benefits. Now it is changed but it will be a few weeks for it to take effect. I texted my sister and she said that it is a pain in the ass and it is sometimes a two person process unfortunately. It’s done and now I can get my passport done and “real ID”. I got to go to the RMV site and make an appointment again. I don’t know if I have to have newer bills as it has been a few months since I printed it out. I have to look at it as I don’t even remember when I did.
I came home and rested for a little bit. I was tired and hungry. I waited more than a half hour for the bus home. I should have Ubered home or something. It was my fault as I forgot to change the direction of the bus route and it was the wrong time I was looking at. I checked the pharmacy before the bus came and it wasn’t ready. I still have like three to be filled tomorrow so I will pick up everything tomorrow. I priced what was ready and I nearly died. My blood pressure med and the Topamax alone is $50. Add the Latuda and it’s $75. I still have 5 other meds to get that are anywhere between 2 to thirteen bucks, which means this month’s meds are going to be over $100. I am going to use MassHealth because I can’t afford it. I just got to bring my card to the pharmacy tomorrow before class so that they can redo everything and the med that are to be filled so that after class I can pick them up. I don’t know how much it will cost me but I know it won’t be $100.
I finished off the pizza I bought yesterday. I took down two bags of recycle. I got at least another three in my room. I’ve been eating Reese’s pumpkins. But I am so full of pizza I can’t eat anymore. I plan on watching the Netflix documentary of the 2004 Red Sox. I am probably going to cry all through it. I cried during the trailer. I need to take a shower but I have run out of spoons again. Maybe tomorrow before I leave the house. I will try and get up early.

I didn’t go to class today because I was dealing with a headache all night and then around class time, the headache returned. I feel like shit. The return label box came for my Holter monitor so I ordered pizza and a slice of calzone from my favorite pizza place. I was bummed to find out that they don’t have half pizzas anymore. Just small pizzas. I didn’t want that but whatever. As I was walking to the post office, I was out of breath and got wicked fatigued really quick. By the time I picked up the pizza and was making the walk home, I was really pushing it. I was so out of breath I had to stop a few times. My legs were hurting me. I have no idea why. I have done this walk more than a thousand times and never felt this way. I don’t know if it is because I had the headache that I just was fatigued a lot faster or what. I am glad I didn’t trek into Boston.
After I ate, I tried working on the schoolwork with my head pounding and feeling wicked tired. I see the neuro NP tomorrow morning. I hope she has some answers for me or at least can help me. I plan on going to the social security office afterwards. I might as well. I will be in the area. I have nothing else to do tomorrow.
I need to shave and shower but haven’t made an effort to do either yet. I might just shower. I don’t know. I have no energy. I don’t have to worry about dinner because I didn’t touch the pizza. The calzone slice was way bigger than I was expecting and I ate it all. I am still full from it. I don’t know if I will eat it. I still have the steak from Friday. I am so tired. I slept alright despite waking up a few times during the night. I did wake up from a dream about my mother that lead to a headache. It went away on its own and I was able to get back to sleep. My foot was itchy during the night and I took some skin off the top of my foot. I just bought some new sneakers and wearing them hurt. Actually, wearing any type of footwear hurts. Damn open skin. I would put a bandaid on it but I know it will just come off.
Indian summer is happening the last few days. Temps have been in the 70s past few days. It has been nice. Hope it stays this way for a while.
Post wedding
My day started earlier than I wanted to because my sister turned on the TV in the hotel room. It woke me up with its nonsense. I thought she was watching the Hallmark channel as the show was about love and relationships but there were swears in there and talk about sexual stuff. I think it was on HBO Max or something. Anyways, I got up and took my meds and then did my Italian for the day. We were all going to go out for breakfast. I thought that was nice. It was so warm out.
The wedding was awesome. It was a long day but it was so much fun. And a great deal of pictures were taken. I cried a few times. It was emotional. My baby is now married. The DJ played love Story and I sang and danced. It was so much fun.
I came home and did some schoolwork and then had to take a nap. Then my brother in law called me for dinner. Oops. I slept a little longer than I intended. I still am so tired. I have a slight headache. I am trying to stay up for a little longer to take notes from last class. There were a lot of notes. This week there is a discussion and the topic is chronic pain hurts the brain. My favorite topic. I can’t wait to read the article.
Tomorrow I have class. I have a somewhat busy week. I hope the box for the holter monitor comes so I can return it. I was hoping I would have come the weekend but it didn’t. There was supposed to be a return label in the box but there wasn’t. Now I just have to wait. Wed I have an appointment with the NP in neuro. Hope she can help me with these headaches. I am thankful I didn’t get one during the wedding. I made sure I drank a lot of water, even though it tasted terrible. The water at the bar was much better than the water at the table. I picked out my classes for next semester. They don’t have Italian MWF so I picked it online. I hope it isn’t going to be intense as my other online class was. That class was a joke.
