I collapsed onto the futon as soon as I got home, so clearly I needed to. Then I made spicy chicken-sausage-chickpea stew, which I will parcel up and freeze tomorrow. I'm bummed I can't drink a nice glass of wine yet, though: it makes me feel crappy instead of relaxed.
Jesse, much support on the meds thing. It's such a crapshoot. Dad just got his meds adjusted, and now he's complaining about vivid dreams. Except not complaining, because they're not disturbing or waking him up, so I don't quite see what the problem is. I basically told him we're not changing the meds unless it's actually a problem.
And now I think I will crawl into bed with my Kindle and my to-do list. Argh.
Oh Jesse, I get the lethargy problem. That's a hard one.

Oh yeah. That's our stance on my father's hallucinations. They don't bother him, so no one's worrying about it.
Am ready for the sofa delivery! Now I bet they don't come until the end of the window, at 11:30.
I so want to go to the Antique Car Rally out at Olde Sturbridge Village today, but a) my not-so-antique car probably shouldn't be risked on a 120 mile round trip and b) no one to go with.
Hooray! They brought my new sofa AND removed the old one for $20 and it's great!
The cats would not let me sleep in as late as 6 am. Even so, I am planning on a lazy day of not doing much. I am anticipating a couple of weeks of extra activity, and dammit I am getting over the flu I want to take it easy today.
ETA: Hooray successful sofa maneuvers!
Whoa, Zenkitty, you were right, they are not gonna call it Superbowl L, at least not in the official graphics. Apparently the "L" is "not pleasing to the eye".
I do not approve of this.
AND, as I had hoped, my father is much better this morning. It's taken him 24 hours to recover from the previous seizures, so I was expecting that, but it's still a little disconcerting -- he could not wake up yesterday, even when the doctor pinched him! He complained about the pinching, but still in his sleep, basically.
I'm glad he's better. Not waking up with pinching sounds scary.The meds he's going back on do a good job of preventing these?
Yeah, apparently -- he hadn't had one while he was taking it.
