beansideSomehow, Monday has returned. I can't bitch because it was an excellent weekend. I had a lot of fun, and relaxed some. It was a good time.
Today shall be busy at work, then psych appointment, then they're coming to get the old car, so a somewhat busy evening. Then I will probably go to work to deposit the check or cash that they give me for the car.
With the psych appointment, I'm debating on a slight increase in the dose of the Vyvanse. On one hand, I love what this has done. I'm much less irritable and prone to getting overstimulated. On the other, since it hasn't jacked my blood pressure, I'm wondering if a slightly higher dose would help even more. He actually started me below the normal dose to verify that it wouldn't fuck up anything else, so there's plenty of room to go up. The max dose is 70mg, and I'm currently on 20. Normal start dose is 30.
I figure it can't hurt. If it does nothing, I drop back to 20mg next month. If my BP is a problem, I drop back to 20 immediately. At worst, it costs me an extra copay. (Which will suck, because this shit is expensive. But I'm willing to take the shot, because I almost feel normal.
I have energy to care and the focus to do something about the caring. Granted, it's also revealing that I'm the crunchy kind of queer who's all about buying local food and supporting small business, and possibly volunteering for a candidate? Yeesh.
Yesterday, I went out to get a couple of things of meat, and since I didn't feel like wandering the full farmers market for a roast and maybe some chicken breasts, I tried a new place. Bowman Butchers in Harford County. It was a long ride, but not a horribly bad ride, and before too long, I arrived at a small red building. It was tiny inside, maybe a 15x15 foot room. There was a couple in front of me, who were getting one of their "meat bundles" which certainly sounded interesting. It took a while to get that together, and another dude came in behind me. Mine also took forever, as I asked for ribs, and the counter staff, of which there was one, had to go get me ribs.
It was not cheap, I will admit. But we have meats for the week, at which point our share of beef should come in and we'll be driving to Frederick to get that.
Dad was especially annoying yesterday. The Vyvanse could only tamp my annoyance down so much. We did get him up, and then he had difficulty getting out of the chair. Which was terrifying. I thought we were going to be calling the ambulance to come get him up. Hopefully, he's a little less sleepy today. We checked his oxygen sats and his pulse, and they were perfectly normal, so who knows what his issue was.
Okay, time to get myself together. Everyone have the very best Monday!
