In honour of me feeling better today, the word for the day is [glow=red,2,300]health[/glow] Been putting off making that dentist appointment? Perhaps you really shouldn't eat that 10th cookie for the day, grab an apple instead. I did, now I think my body's gone into some kind of shock...  Maybe you have some medical bills that need sorting. Or the medicine cabinet could do with a bit of weeding out. Prescriptions dating back to last century will do you no good.  |

I had a low cal energy bar for breakfast instead of that gooey cinnamon roll that was calling to me! I didn't make a pot of coffee at home so I am only having coffee at work. Cutting back on caffeine.

Health.
Maybe for my mental health I will strangle a couple of kids who are fighting instead of doing their schoolwork. 
No, I cleaned the biohazardous cat boxes instead.

I have started taking my supplements again. Chromium picolinate and 5-HTP.  I will also avoid all that candy we have left over from Halloween. ((At least for today!)) |

This morning I went to my mental health therapist, who changed my meds and left with a valuable outlook on my life.

- I'm mentally exhausted from the strain of work these past few months. (Lots of updates/changes in our accounting office). I've made arrangements to take a day off to sleep. Perhaps I'll dream of Tahiti?  - Bonus: I phoned my attorney regarding some old medical bills. - |

This was the first day of our changed schedule at the restaurant. We now close for 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon. That really only amounts to being able to leave the restaurant for no more than 1 1/2 hours, really. Besides the obvious goal to decrease expenses at the restaurant, which BTW will contribute my personal mental health, there is the additional factor that it creates a built-in break for Hubby and I.
For the past year, and particularly for the past 3 months, since son & DIL left, there were many days that I did not get a break at all. That is very unhealthy. So this new schedule will help.
But it was weird and felt odd. Weird: the time change, Standard Time, co-incided, so not only am I adjusting to that, but I closed the restaurant, locked the doors, turned off the lights in the middle of the afternoon. We haven't done that at all except during an ice storm last year. That felt very odd.
Also weird and odd: Hubby was at home the same time as me during my break. This hasn't happened for almost the entire past year, and not at all for the past three months. I realized how much I enjoy the quiet and solitude when I take my breaks alone. I don't like CNN, and that's what he had on when I got home. He left before I did and I also returned before he did.
I know, it was the first day and adjustments need to be made. We have to work out the schedule of closing and re-opening so that it becomes comfortable. I think I still want to stagger our breaks a bit, so that one of us closes in the afternoon and the other one opens again, thus giving us each a little time alone in the afternoon. I know I need some time alone in the afternoon.

Not only did I forget to check this yesterday, but I had another experience of forgetting that frightened me. I was going to my eye exam (CREDIT FOR "HEALTH" I HOPE), but pulled into the wrong parking garage, actually parked, and didn't realize it was the wrong place until I got to the door into the building. It was a different place where there are medical offices I sometimes go to, very close to the eye doctor's office. I scanned the directory, just to make sure it wasn't right, and it wasn't.
But then, for the life of me, I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHERE the right place was. I figured it had to be close, but I couldn't picture it, I couldn't picture how I could have gotten there, or what the street or entrance looked like. I found this really weird and scary. I can only assume it was due to a lot of stress and worries on my mind the past couple of days.
Anyway, I asked the lady who takes the payment where the right place was and she directed me. It was only one more street down, very close, and once I saw it, I did recognize it. But it was unnerving.

Yesterday, I went to sleep earlier, cause I was so sleepy & rather than trying to make myself stay awake as usual, I went to bed!
Yesterday, I did go to a doctor-- Endocrinologist. I haven't been since 2003. Stopped taking the thyroid med without letting them know, although I had meant to call them but never did...
Believe it or not, the nurses there actually recognized & remembered me! However; I could tell the doctor did not. That's okay, though. I don't think he was very pleased with me. But, I went & got the blood drawn today at the lab.
3G -- PLease send Purple a get well wish & hug for me.
