Today I was able to get up before noon. With my new medication changes I have been exhausted. I would go to bed at 10:00 and wake up at noon. Then I would be tired until around 4:00 PM. That is when I would finally start to wake up. Well today is the second day in a row where I have woken up at 10:00 am. It is a start. I want to be waking up around 7:30 or 8:00. I wonder if anyone else has this problem when they switch medications or have an increase in the dosage. This in combination with my minor depression and all the stress involved in buying a new house/packing up your soon to be old house I have been just so sick and tired of not having a normal life. I want to get up, be productive and go to bed just like everyone else. I have some hope though. My wake up time is getting earlier everyday. Hopefully it will just keep going.
Tonight I am going up to my new house to bury a septic tank. They uncovered it as part of an inspection, but we were responsible to cover it. It was buried under 3 feet of earth. We have been up there twice to try to finish the job on our own. Hopefully tonight will be our last night. I am tired of shoveling dirt.
I am getting excited though. Less than a month and we will be all moved into our new home. It is "in the sticks" as some would say. It is in the wine country and the views are wonderful! I want to get away from where we are now. There is so much pressure to keep up with the latest trends where I live. Everyone has the latest everything and that includes cars. The general attitude is pure snobbery. I will be glad to get away from it because it is so easy to get sucked it.
I'll check in with you soon.
