3.1.25
(I have been writing and not posting but I have decided to post again) I haven’t written the past couple of days because I started my increased med dose. Typically when I increase my dose on Risperidone I cant stop falling asleep all day long. I have been taking at least 2 naps a day in the chair plus falling asleep at the end of the night. It’ll go away as I adjust but for now I am just taking it as my body needs the sleep for the meds to do their thing and I am not really fighting it.
I had a good therapy session, she mostly talked me through the state of our country and told me I need to continue to live life and find joy. Not exactly easy but okay. That was basically our whole session. Me going yeah but…. and her walking out my logic with me.
Jeff’s brother sent Ty the teapot set that he is in love with! Ty got the teapot from goodwill but it didn’t have any of the cakes or cups or anything. I found the set on Amazon and said something about it, and that we would be buying it for Ty and Damien sent it like that day. Its awesome and Ty loves it. He now is always holding a cup with his teapot, whatever makes him happy.
Mac woke up sick today. Nevaeh went back to school on Friday but Mac and Madi are starting to cough and Mac woke up with a fever today. Hopefully his fever is gone by Tuesday or we will have to have him miss school and take him to the doctor for a note. We have been so sick this year I refuse to let them be home without a note because otherwise I get yelled at and threatened with truancy.
In terms of America, shit is a mess. The president of Ukraine came to the Oval office today to meet with Trump and his minions. They basically just started attacking him screaming at him, I am surmising because he doesn’t want to give away Ukraine’s mineral rights to the US? Thats what I took from it. I am firmly on the side of Ukraine. They were invaded, they did nothing wrong.
Today is self care Saturday. I did a hair mask, showered and shaved, and listened to a bunch of music. I also listened to a self help podcast and I will be going to take a bath tonight with a bath bomb. I am also journaling which is a pillar of self care for me.
We have a big week coming up. Jeff’s surgery consult will HOPEFULLY happen on Monday. Ty has an appointment Wednesday for his 9 month check up and it will be nice to get him checked out now that he is just in the cough stage of his RSV, no fever anymore. I did some digging into my vaccination record and I do not need an MMR booster. I am freaking out about the outbreaks happening across the country with them shutting down the partnership with the WHO. What a mess. Alright, I think that’s all, I am doing better…not 100 percent but I will be.
