Thing 1: Window units are proof that Gods love us and want us to be happy. Kung fu when there’s a heat index of 104 is not fun, but coming home to cool air is wonderful.
Thing 2: Kinda-Sorta-Ex-Boyfriend Guy wants me to go on a cross-country road trip with him and two mutual friends. It’s one of those things that I feel like I’d like to do sometime, but I don’t think I would do well spending 2 weeks with no time to myself. Especially with the weird tension between him and me.
Thing 3: I’m having a sleep study done soonish, which will hopefully help figure out what it god’s name is going on with my [lack of] sleep. In the meantime, my psychiatrist called in a script for me for trazodone. I took it years ago but discontinued it because it caused horrible nightmares. I’m hoping with the prazosin I’m in now, that won’t happen again.
Thing 4: I’m testing for my first stripe white belt next week!
Thing 5: I’ve decided I’m going to start looking for New Therapist 3.0. NT2.0 is a nice lady, but it takes a lot more than that to make a useful therapist. She’s still trying to do Intro to Therapy with me, and I think after 2 years at Riggs I’ve earned a PhD in therapy. And even beyond that, I still don’t feel any connection to her. I’m not going to fire her until I find someone new, though, because that could take months.
A. My window A/C is so sacred to me he has a name. Melvin. I love him.
B. I took trazodone for years too. Never had nightmares on it (though my sis did), and after like 4 years it just plain ol’ stopped working. Now I take ambien. Hope you find some solution– insomnia is the WORST!
Centralized air conditioning i the way to go. it distributes more widespread coolness than a eindow unit. 😀
*is and window . . . my s key periodically sticks, sorry. No excuse for the “eindow” though.;)
I wish I had the luxury of central air, but hardly any buildings here in Massachusetts have it. I’m spoiled–when I was growing up in Alabama, EVERYTHING had central air. But here it doesn’t get hot enough often enough for it to make financial sense to put in central air. But I do love me my window unit.
Hehe 🙂 good luck looking for NT3.0 !
prazocin keeps us from having nightmares if we take one trazodone, but not if we have to take two.
Well, I took 200 mg of trazodone last night and no nightmares, so that’s good. I’m on a pretty high dose of prazosin, so maybe that’s why. But I really think the Benadryl does more to knock us out than the trazodone. But it could’ve been the combination of the two.
I so love that you do karate.
