Song: N/A
Mood: 7
Nightmares: 0
I’m still having trouble getting a good sleep and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the increase in my venlafaxine dosage or maybe it’s something weird like the change in weather. Or anything. Whatever it is, though, I hope it clears up quickly.
As far as my mood goes, things continue to improve. I no longer feel like everything is impossible. Things can be difficult, but not impossible. I still want to sit on the couch but it’s a lot easier for me to accomplish other things so I’m not spending my entire day there.
I got together with FA today. She came over around 11AM and we hung out and talked for a while before heading to the hardware store. I was impressed by how many new items they’d put out over the last seven days, including a neat little 7-in-1 flashlight/screwdriver/laser/pen/ruler/magnifier… I can’t remember what the seventh thing was. It was fun hanging out with FA and just wandering the aisles in the store.
After we were done at the store, we went for lunch at the burrito shop again, and once again the burritos were fantastic. By this time, the wind and snow had picked up and it was getting unpleasant outside.
Once we were done our lunch, we headed back to the house and had another good chat. By this time I was pretty tired and I probably wasn’t the best conversationalist but it was good to hang out.
J got home after a very long drive. Usually it takes her about twenty minutes to get home, but the roads, weather, and visibility were poor so it took her almost an hour and a half. We had supper and talked about our days and then watched some episodes of Community. We’ve just started in on Season 4.
Things are looking up, and I’m really glad about that. This last down I fell into was pretty long and deep but I think I’m almost out of it. It felt good to laugh today, good to talk to J and FA, and as an added bonus, I wasn’t quite as anxious about leaving the house today as I have been lately. The only thing I’m a little worried about is my sleep, because not getting enough can derail anything good I’ve got going but I hope that will clear itself up in the next few days.
I don’t have much in the way of plans for the weekend. I should really get out into the garage and clear the way so J can park the car in there and keep it out of the snow and frost. It’ll probably only take me about half an hour to do, and that would be a good thing to check off my list.
I should probably do something about that toilet, too.
Stay safe.
