Thanks Windy, I don't think this is going to be a quick process, it's been months. But I'm okay with it because even the setbacks are progress. Plus I feel a lot better as I'm coming off the Seroquel (besides the no sleeping thing).

And I figured out the med I'll be taking - Invega. Which sounds kind of like a car. It's related to Risperdal but it's not actually approved for bipolar disorder (althogh Risperdal is so people use Invega for bipolar disorder). It has fewer side effects and it comes in this release capsule.

G'luck askye. Such a long and frustrating thing to go through.

So, I look at the quote generator up in the corner and it's

Old trusty soda machine. I push you for root beer, you give me Coke.

Willow, 'Graduation Day (1)

I swear, I was just trying to remember that quote a few hours ago! I don't even remember what brought it to mind. Get outta my head...

No posts at all today?

askye, I'm sorry that finding the right combination of meds is such a long, complicated process. Continued~ma to you.

I'm so tired. I did errands with Mom, and then volunteered at the library bookstore today.

Well I took the regular dose and it made me sleepy right away and then I slept off and on for most of the day. No sleep! And then all the sleep.

I finally got my new cable box working (and to turn in the old one which meant a 45 minute drive. But plus side dinner with Will) and tonight I'm going to watch So You think You can dance.

I've been in perpetual motion today. Ran to the other coast to check out my mother. My idiot niece brought her sick toddler and infant to visit my 91 year old mother after day care and mom woke up with a 102F temp this morning.

So I came over to make her get out of bed and sit up for a while. The last time she got pneumonia she was down and out for months. I told her she has to keep moving. Haven't gotten her to eat, but I am not as concerned about that. I could smack my niece.

Well I took the regular dose and it made me sleepy right away and then I slept off and on for most of the day. No sleep! And then all the sleep.

You probably needed to catch up on your sleep.

Laura, how awful and stupid on your niece's part. I hope your mother is feeling better soon.

sorry your niece was not thoughtful.

today I am annoying people on fb by telling them all the chores I have done

Dude, Laura, she needs a cluestick.

This is the most... something... message I've ever gotten on OK Cupid.

hey there, I looked at your profile just to see how totally opposite we are and I couldn't stop reading your profile, very interesting and deep, I was also a little surprised that we had a few things in common, I think my therapist would love you. thanks for letting me read your profile.

Uh. You're welcome? And thanks? IDEK.

Maybe go with "sweet sentiment expressed badly" and take it as a good thing.
