I am keeping track in this blog about the medication, so I have somewhere to consult, and find out what happens when. So I thought I'd better make a note of this:
When we got home from California (Tuesday March 1, 2011) I did not take any pills for two days (Tues and Wed, or maybe Wed and Thurs, no probably Tues and Wed). Anyway, I was in such a funk from Tues until Friday. It was miserable. I was afraid to even let Nick touch me, lest I burst into tears. Poor guy, he didn't know what to do.
I wasn't going to leave the house, although I did several times, but not as much as I usually would. I just wanted to stay home, and not talk to anybody. But I was irritated that Nick went upstairs to work on the computer, and I didn't hear from him for like five or six hours. I just didn't know where to start, so I put about six or eight major jobs in a glass jar, and started drawing out things to do. The first day, I cleaned out the pantry, and got rid of some stuff and reorganized other stuff. Including going through cookbooks, and getting rid of some (Goodwill).
The next day, I drew upstairs closets, so I tore into my closet, discarded two entirely full bags of clothes, and also sorted through the kids bedroom closet, except for the pictures, which are a separate project. We probably have an entire van-load of stuff to take to Goodwill. The next day was Friday so I didn't do anything but finish up from the day before, and now that I'm feeling better, I'm feeling less like doing this stuff.
Maybe part of it is that the next thing I drew: Kitchen cabinets, aren't really much of a problem. We could probably get rid of half our pots and empty some drawers, but we still have room for stuff, so why bother. I think I'll just throw that one away, and draw another.
I just thought now, that I should add my sewing projects to the jar. And knitting. At least the ones that bug me. Then I would have the chance of spending time one day just working on projects. That's a good idea.
Another health "Update" although I haven't mentioned this before. The noise in my ears is getting louder. I hear it all the time, and it makes it hard to hear other stuff sometimes. I can hear my blood pumping through when I lay down to sleep and other times too. It is very annoying.

Mom, the noise in your ears, being able to hear your blood pumping in your ears is blood pressure related. I have that too when I'm stressed or eat more salt than normal. So, really, really cut back on your salt when this happens, as in, re-think having that low sodium soda, because it's not really, truly low sodium, for a couple days and see if that helps. Just a suggestion, and one the doctor probably won't think of.
