I'd say the one side effect from the Lexapro that hasn't really abated to a degree I'd like is the insomnia. I woke up Monday morning at 3:00 AM and wasn't able to get back to sleep, so last night I went to bed really early -- as in, I was in bed by 7:30.
I couldn't fall asleep until well past 8:00, and even then I woke up again at 2:00 AM for another bout of wakefulness that at least ended sometime before I was due to get up.
I'd just like to stop feeling like I'm about to faceplant into my keyboard, please. Yeesh.
Outside of that, I was retaining water like a beast this morning. Yesterday was 168.4; today was 171.8. At first I was sure the scale needed to re-calibrate, but nope! Oh well, I saw it coming. It was the red beans, likely in combination with the Subway for yesterday's breakfast and possibly the frozen dinner style lunch I had. Thankfully, today is a normal food day, and the remaining red beans are for my husband; here's hoping tomorrow's weigh-in is a bit more normal.
Okay, on for the three things I'm happy about:
- Oh, huge one -- I'm happy that the dream I had last night was not real! For some reason I was dreaming that my mother was trying to make me mow the lawn (y'all, I have never touched a lawnmower in all my 48 years and I don't intend on starting now); when I refused, she said she was going to take my car. That she didn't buy me. Uh-huh, okay there!
- I'm happy I continue to take steps to improve myself and to become the person I want to be.
- I'm super happy I got confirmation that my vacation day requests were approved and I have next Monday and Tuesday off -- squeeeee!!!!
