24 hours and counting....

Less than 24 hours to flight time.

I always have grandiose plans of getting everything together early so that I can just stroll onto the plane. Am I on track? No, of course not-;)

Doing pretty well on the cleaning and packing front, but I still have some stuff to finish up for work. Yikes.

The point is that I'm not ignoring you, but I'm trying to largely stay off of LJ until I have everything done. I'll have lots of time next week to catch up on LJ (assuming I do indeed figure out how to use my mom's Apple Cube-;))

Have a good weekend!

Weather

Looks like the Detroit weather right now is about the same as the SJ weather, only a little more humid. Nice.

(Yes, that's on my list. 'Bye-;))

Roadblock

I saw a third doctor this week for a medication consult. He, unlike the other doctor, also felt that I have a mild case of OCD, which was about to turn into a full-blown case. He prescribed the dreaded evil Prozac. Because I was taking Saint John's Wort, I had to wait until today to take my first dose.

Originally I planned to take the first dose tomorrow, given that I could sleep off any side effects on the plane. But I talked to him for a long time about side effects, and about the fact that I react very strongly to any medication, and how I need to be able to drive and concentrate, and he said that I shouldn't have any problems. So I decided that I was worrying too much, and I've been having really bad OCD days for the last couple of days (I think it is getting worse), so I decided to start taking the medication today.

At first, I did see a mild improvement in my ability to concentrate, which pleased me because I didn't expect any real effect from it until I was taking it for a while. But right now, I feel very, very sleepy and out-of-it, and I'm slowing waaay dooown. This feeling is especially not good because I need to jam through stuff right now.

Shit. My original plan would have been better. I'll work it out because I have no choice and I always do, but this is making everything that I have to do more challenging.

I'm also concerned because I'm taking only a half-dose right now, but I suppose that I'll habituate. I'll call the medication advice nurse next week.

I'm really doing my best to try to honor my commitments despite everything that's going on, but my life seems to be getting more and more and more complicated.
