I found out yesterday afternoon that I will be reinstated on Social Security Disability! After months and months and months of waiting this is huge news! I was so scared for so long that we'd be trying to all live off my mom's Social Security. That's a joke for 1 person, but 4? Ridiculous!
I started swimming yesterday as well. We'll see how that goes. I wasn't expecting my neck to be an issue with this, but it seems that holding my head up for the breast stroke is a bad thing. Either that or I'm finally getting the headache people talk about from food withdrawal. Caffeine, sugar, and salt. All gone. I'd say that qualifies as being withdrawal worthy!
I am so close to finishing BAC I can taste it! 98% as of yesterday. Only a few more pages to go! This week is somewhat iffy as to what I can accomplish though. There's a lot of food prep that I had to do for my diet. I'm glad I did it, but need to figure out and stick to a routine. I've never been much of a routine kind of person, so that's kind of hard. This week is also iffy because I have to take mom to her appointment, then she's got another one out of town. It's going to be strange not having her here with me and I really don't know how I will react.
My goal though is to finish the last of these reports tonight and tomorrow.
I feel like if I could get my sleep under control I could set up some kind of workable schedule to get everything accomplished. This is very frustrating. The sleep medication makes me sleep too late the next day, but when I don't take it, I'm up all night. This is so not working!
Think, Think, Think! There's a way to make this work, there is. I've got to figure it out.
Caffeine withdrawals are a beast. I typically don't drink caffeine, but if I have a glass of tea at a restaurant (always caffeinated, don't believe them if they tell you otherwise), I'll have a HUGE headache the next day that won't go away, regardless of how much Tylenol I take.
ReplyDeleteNiff! It's so good to hear from you! How are things going for you? Have you found THE job?
ReplyDeleteThere were several possibilties as to where my headache came from. I'm really surprised I haven't had a more severe reaction to not eating the things I used to. Sugar? Not so major. Caffeine? I miss it a little bit. Salt? I'm not missing it as seasoning at all, though I did notice a low blood pressure symptom.
Then, I picked up a cold my kids had been dealing with. I was hoping it would bypass me. Ah well!
