My bad.

.
.
The medicine was in the mailbox. And I had made a mistake. These weren't of the two a day variety, so the 7 pills would have lasted me a week. On the other hand, they only arrived on the very day I would have been out. If you have ever been on heavy medicines, only to even think you are about to run out, the mind plays tricks. I won't say panic sets in, I will say fear comes into play. Three weeks of absolute do nothing downtime is a terrifying prospect, especially since there are things that really need to be done and soon. All good though, until the next time they double my medicine and don't update the prescription and get me some right away. This is the second time in, what, two months? Last time I took the blame but it ended up not being my fault. There is only so much I can do and just so fast.

I did get one of the propane tanks filled. The other still has some gas. But after checking my bank account, I wanted to check all of my money first before shopping further. It seems I am lower than what I had thought. I might have to pull a bit from my savings to get enough food for the rest of the month. I suppose I have been so busy, in some ways, that I haven't been paying attention. That and not having access to my online banking anymore, for whatever reason. I am going to check that again tonight. If it doesn't work tonight I will need to get into town and change some things right there at the bank.

I did have enough to buy a meal for the bother of the trip. Nothing fancy but satisfying. Since I have no other food at home at the moment. The hunger doesn't bother me too much, I just don't like the notion. Eating a bunch of very small meals a day has been good to me. Those packages of salami that I like, I thought that eating a half a packaging was being a pig, so I usually eat about a third of a package, and a similar amount of cheese. I looked closely at a package the other day. The whole package is only four ounces. Small meals to be sure.

Well, not sure what is going to happen tonight. I finally got around to filling my medicine-set (which holds two weeks worth) and then taking today's 'morning' medicine. I will take the 'night' portion of my medicine before going to sleep. If there is still problems, I may cut my medicine just a bit, half a tablet every other day out of the usual two tablets a day, for a week. Perhaps I am just on too much too fast. I am not sure what else to do. I was feeling better until taking 'morning' medicine.

Good night, for those of you going on to sleep.

  2. So do I understand correctly that you were taking them twice a day then? That might account for your difficulties if so.

  3. MK,

    I rested well:)

    Opus #6,

    I think it will be. A little slow but I'll keep to it.

    D.C.,

    No, I wasn't taking two a day. I just had forgotten which pill was coming in. And, actually, it was last week and last time that I was dealing with the two a day pill.

    I keep having to go from half pills to whole pills and changing amounts, so that it can get confusing if my mind thinks to one time of taking medication, what I am currently taking, and all that. Memory algorithms and such being what they are, I guess one might call it a temporary crossed circuit.
