Day 4 - Getting Better/Worse
Well, here's Day 4 - I'm happy to have survived the first 3. They still weren't my worse, but they were pretty rough.
Better:
So physically, I'm feeling a little better. My knees aren't sore yet, but that should start in the next few hours. No big deal though. Runs, a bit better than yesterday. Time also isn't crawling as bad as the past 2 days. Sat/Sun was horrible - while in the bath, I looked at the clock, then I did again, what felt like 10-15m later and it had only been 4.
While time isn't flying by, it's better than the last few days.
Worse:
Mentally, I'm in a funk. I'm not depressed - but *nothing* is appealing to me. I'm having a hard time to enjoy anything stimulating. Heck, if I could go diving right now (my favorite past time), I don't think I would enjoy it.
However, this is probably par for me - day 4 is usually the worse mentally. Even if I'm in a funk tomorrow, I'm hoping by day 6 to start being able to be happy again.
Oh - and I cheated for sleep -- I got 9 hours. I took 1/2 an Ambien when I woke up at 4AM - that got me another 5hrs. I really needed it since my sleep was minimal the night before.
Hope this posts, the board is acting flukey today.

I have tried several times to post to you. Don't know what's wrong with this board today.
Just wanted to say Hang In There. Day 4 was one of the worst for me. I hope you get this post.
Good luck,

Well - I have some shows I normally like, playing tonight. We'll see if I can enjoy 'em.
Tomorrow, I actually offered to help me mom look for some real estate. It might not be barrels of fun, but it will get me out of the house. I'm starting to go stir crazy in my house -- there's nothing I want to do, I just feel like I don't want to be here.
It's pretty sad, but what I have looked forward to, and enjoyed most these past few days is posting here. heh
I'm hoping in the next few days to be good enough to do some yard work. Mine is starting to look pretty crappy. I have some Adderall left over from my script months ago. I have maybe 24 out of 30 - so used 6 in the last 2-3 months. It helps with my adhd - but they also make me feel ... umm... I guess like what coffee jitters is like (I don't drink coffee, so don't know for sure heh). Anyway, they give me energy as well - but they also raise my BP a bit, and that makes me nervous too - so it's not much of an issue to worry about - though it bugs me to even think like that.
*sigh* look what we do to ourselves - well, I pray that we all are successful with this go-around! :)
