1. I cannot freaking believe it's October. I feel like summer flew by, I feel like this whole year is just flying by. It's getting cold out, especially at night, and I love it. It makes it hard to get out of bed in the mornings, though.
2. I'm having mixed results with the Lithium at the moment. In ways I feel better, in ways I feel worse. I've just felt maybe a little more anxious, a little more up, a little more scattered. It worried me for a couple days, and then Jerbs reminded me that this happened when I first started Lithium, and also all the times I restarted it. It's kind of crappy, but at the same time, I'm committed to keeping at it until the levels balance and I feel better.
3. I also think the Lithium's making me tired, which is frustrating. I've never been one to be able to just suck it up and fight through being tired, and I feel like I've been dragging the past week or so. This is a new thing, I don't remember being drowsy on Lithium before, so I'm not sure if it's really that or if it's something else (like the change in the weather, having a sinus infection (STILL), or whatever). Again, it's one of those things that I'm just kind of waiting out, because it might go away once I'm at my therapeutic dose and my body readjusts to having it in my system. We'll see.
4. My mom's buying a house! Which is pretty much the best thing I've heard all year, and I'm really excited for her.
5. Jerbs and I have pretty much adopted this stray Siamese cat that had been hanging around our porch. He used to just come in every night for a little while and eat some cat food, then he started spending the night inside in the living room, and now he sleeps with me every night. He's the cutest cat.
6. Work has gotten better since my old office mate moved out. Now I'm sharing my office with the billing department's new hire, and it's just blissfully quiet. Plus, having the new girl in my office means she comes to me with all of her questions, and it's been kind of cool to see how much I know about my job. Not that I really thought there was a lot I didn't know, but it's a good feeling to be able to look at something and just know what needs to be done. I also just found out last week that our CEO is so impressed with the billing department that we're all getting bonuses in the form of giftcards, which is awesome. It's nice to be appreciated.
7. I'm really trying to make October a good month fitness/weight loss wise. Especially since Lithium is known to cause weight gain, and I definitely don't want to get bigger.
That's all for now. More to come. Someday. When I'm not as tired.
