How long does that 163 gallons last?

Our wings are not tired.

So I got my first oil bill of the season. 163 gallons (the tank was down below a quarter full from last winter). $570 dollars. Ouch. The sticker shock - it bites!

We won't have any heating bill pain this year, but the A/C bill half the year is over $400 a month. Can't wait to open windows again, but that is still a couple months off.

I'm gonna navel-gaze for a sec, for which I apologize in advance.

I think I'm going to have to increase my medication back up to it's last dosage (which is still lower than the original dosage). I am completely overreacting to situations--especially interpersonal encounters. And my anxiety levels about those interactions are over-the-top. On Wednesday I had an anxiety attack where my skin felt like it was crawling. Today I started crying during Spanish and didn't stop sobbing until 45 minutes after class ended--full-out breakdown where nothing anyone said helped.

And to further prove this, I feel like a complete failure for having to increase the med. So many things are going so well, but apparently this is what makes me a failure.

Not long enough. If the last two winters are any indication, I'll need at least one more refill this winter, possibly two (although those will almost inevitably be smaller - this is the largest refill I've had other than when I first moved in).

Ack, sorry to hear your brain chemistry is being craptastic, vw.

(((((vw))))) Is this another dosage decrease or the most recent one? You do so much! Please give yourself some credit.

I think this dosage decrease was about a month ago. I'd have to go back and look at my records, though. I thought I was stabilizing, but my reactions at several situations this week shows that I'm not.

Sorry vw. Please don't be too hard on yourself.

Not long enough. If the last two winters are any indication,

I hope you don't have too cold a winter. I do natural gas which still isn't too bad even though the prices have gone up dramatically the last couple of years. I don't think we'll get though October without doing any heating, but I can hope. It's in the sweet spot right now, no cooling or heating.
