mmmm - meds.

Don't worry, here I am.
Got my thyroid checked.  Normal range is 0.5 - 4.5.
Mine was 9.49
No wonder I've been so fatigued and sleeping so much.
No wonder my anxiety has been lingering.
No wonder my depression has been at an increase and also lingering.

A week ago I got my med dosage adjusted and I'm already starting to feel the difference.

I cleaned today after work!  We're talking the clutter that has piled up on the kitchen counter for two months.  Gone!

I vacuumed!

I sorted and filed!

I can't wait to go to bed!

What kind of person does something cruel to themselves like this?

I made a doctor appointment for 7:30 a.m.
Me.
Me who hits the snooze until 7:30 when I have to be to work at 8:00.

Somehow I made it out of bed at 6:50.
It was horrible, terrible, no good, very bad...
I like to sleep and sleep and sleep.
Worm or no, this bird likes to sleep in.

I went to a new doctor, new office, the whole shebang.
Had blood drawn from some snot who maybe felt like it was too early to be drawing blood.
I have a bump where the needle went in and it bled saturating the cotton ball that was covered with a Band-aid. (sorry if you're squeamish)
Wench.
I'll find out test results and hopefully understand why my energy levels are in the toilet.
Also, why I'm crabby, fatigued, anxious, depressed, irritated, carb-binging, and can't sleep at night.

After my appointment I had Mickey D's for breakfast.
...and I probably won't have it again for another five years.
