I havent written in a while. Life has been feeling out of control for me lately. I went to a check-in visit with my Doc. on Friday (9/19) and she wants to put me on yet another medication in addition to the two I already take. I tried it on Friday night at 8pm and I wasnt able to function at all until 4pm on Saturday. Hmm. Not good. Cant do THAT every day! What is the Doc. thinking? I was so out of it that it scared me. I decided to skip it until I can speak with her. Also, I was able to cut one pill into 4 pieces and if I can ever get a night where I can go to bed early, I will try taking a quarter of the tablet. I hate all this medication crap!!
Ive kept up with the swimming, which I think keeps me sane. I went on Saturday night and last night. It really is so relaxing. Last night I was slightly manic and after swimming for 45 min., I felt fine again. I did laps and tired myself out.
Other news is that I (perhaps stupidly) kind of adopted a small dog. My co-wker (Teresa) had to get rid of some of her pets because the City said that she had too many. She called me in a panic on Friday night and asked me if I could take one of them. I said yes, but it has been awfully crazy trying to incorporate a dog into a cat only household. The dog is very small (smaller than any of my cats), but still thinks that it looks like fun to try to eat them. Plus, she cries out with a bizarre woooo, woooo, woooooooo sound whenever I am out of her eyesight. Im sure my neighbors will like that today while I am at work. I finally got her to sleep by putting her in a dog crate positioned right next to my head on my bed. If she can see me, shes quiet - that is, until her nightly 3am-please-take-me-down-four-flights-of-stairs-so-I-can-pee ritual happens. I somehow make it down all those stairs in my jammies looking like complete hell and walk around the darkened street until she seems happy (and empty). Then I have to go back up the freaking stairs and so I get a mini-workout just before dawn. What fun!
Im not sure that this is going to work out and that makes me feel horrible. I want to help, but I dont want to give any of the cats less attention. Its not fair to them to have their home disturbed, and its not fair to the dog to not have everything she needs. It is causing me major stress after only two days! Sigh. I was hoping that my mom would fall in love with her and take her, but for some reason, my moms reaction when I told her was total anger. Not sure why. When I asked her why this situation would make her angry, of all things, she couldnt give me an answer. Whatever.
Work is the same boring crap. My life is all work, swimming and stress about my animal friends. Woooo! So exciting that I can barely stand it!
Grrr
