Today has been a day. I wasn’t able to spend enough time with my sunlamp and the day was overcast, so I was exhausted all day. There’s nothing quite like feeling utterly exhausted and disinterested while simultaneously being forced to stay awake by anti-depression meds. The meds have changed my life for the better, but days like this remind me that a carefully balanced schedule of sleep, light therapy, and regularly scheduled meals are an important part of the treatment as well. Still, it’s a good reminder of why I follow my treatment regimen faithfully: I can’t believe that I once felt even worse than this all the time. I have no idea how I even survived before I started treatment.
To make a bad day worse, my kitty developed a horrible abscess on her rear. She had to be sedated so it could be drained. And it will have to be medicated regularly to keep it open until it’s all drained. That’s going to be fun. Not. Poor baby, she looks sooo miserable.
A small bit of light: I decided what size my garden beds will be, and I picked up the lumber for them. Two 4’ x 4’ beds to utilize the square-foot gardening method. 7 1x4x8’s, cut in two. Two 1x2x8’s, left whole – I’ll do the cutting myself. $24 with tax and the lumber yard did the cuts for me. I already have 1 1x4, which I’ll have to cut, but that’s what a saw is for. I already have screws and tools, so this weekend I can build the beds! Yay!
