Today's Lesson Learned

I haven't taken my crazy pills in over two weeks. I ran out and meant to get a refill before I left for Norfolk but never did...and I meant to do the same as soon as I got back but work was busy and I was a little under the weather and then it was New Year's...so, again, I never made it.

When I woke up this morning feeling like I did, I thought it was just the going back to work after a four day weekend blues but I continued to feel worse throughout the day. Edgy, tired and terribly annoyed (and on a day when things going on at the office really don't allow me time to be edgy, tired and terribly annoyed, unfortunately). Finally it clicked. I never meant to go so long without taking them - it wasn't a trial separation or anything. It just happened. And it wasn't very much fun. Especially when combined with a little PMS. At least now I know that I certainly can't quite kick them cold turkey. Not that I want to or anything. Although, I went to the ob/gyn a couple of weeks ago and she said she'd like for me to get off them before I get pregnant. I'm not planning to get knocked up any time soon or anything but, for some reason, once you turn thirty, ob/gyn's seem to really want you primed for baby carrying.

I digress. So now not only am I properly medicated but I took a few hours to give the apartment a good once over with a duster, some Dr. Bronner's soap, a mop and a broom. As long as you don't peek into the craft room, my home is back where it should be (minus the pile of laundry I'm still working on) just like I, hopefully, will be by morning.

The snow here is amazing. Icy and sparkly. It almost makes me want to go for a walk...until I realize it's fourteen degrees outside. I wish grown ups got snow days....
