My medication downshift has been going well so far. My sleep isn't too disrupted by reducing my Seroquel, although we do think that it may be contributing to some nausea. The pills are tiny, so my psych said to stagger until I'm off instead of a usual halving taper. I think it's causing some discomfort, but it's getting better.
The lowering of my Vraylar seems to have been inconsequential really. I'm feeling a little boost in interest, not as passive when it comes to self-improvement and positive growth, but I can't be sure it's related.
Psychiatric drugs are so tricky!
My anxiety hasn't been out of control, but I'm dwelling on work stress a bit too much. Especially around bedtime. I spend a lot of semi-conscious time rehashing and predicting and it sucks. I'm not sure that this is a forever home, unfortunately. My boss is gone this week and it feels like such a relief. There's still drama to be had, but not as much. He's also a bit disgusting so it's nice not to feel so dirty.
My writing group was moved from April to early May and now to late May. I started something, but don't want to continue with it so I need a new topic. A lot of people have been saying my workplace is a rich source of writing fodder, so maybe character profiles? I don't know. I'd also like to do some screenwriting again.
I've ordered some books on minimalism, cleaning and organizing with ADHD (between Hubs and BB and me not being a Susie Homemaker it's kinda wild in here), as well as something about Hygge??? Swedish comfort living or something? It had great reviews and intrigued me. So that's my newest improvement mission about to take off.
The Hubs and I are touring a private school for BB's middle schooling and high schooling. It's a religious school so I'm a little apprehensive, but the academic rigor looks awesome and they offer more than a pubic school in ways of concurrent enrollment. I'm not sure exactly what will work best for BB, but he needs a challenge and he might be motivated to graduate early or with college credits and I want to accommodate. Of course, if he dials it down that's fine too. But I want options.
Off to work! It's Wednesday, so they wear pink. Well, I guess "we" wear pink. I chose my pink jungle dress with jaguars on it and flowers. You can only imagine, right? Haha It's dress season just about here! I'm glad, but gotta be careful about long dresses catching under my office chair...
TTFN. Hugs. Hope. Happiness be upon you!
