Hm, I was so groggy this afternoon that I had decided tonight I’d only take half a pill, but now it’s 8:30 and I’m not groggy anymore, what to do...

Update: I slept! Woke up only once in the night and fell right back asleep with no problem. Feel a little woozy/sleepy this morning, and a little bit of dry mouth. We'll see if I adjust.

Also if anyone has experience with Remeron a.k.a. mirtazapine, I'd love to hear it. Apparently weight gain is common? Which wouldn't be great since weight is something I get very anxious about. I guess we'll see.

I got a new prescription for a medication that *may* help both insomnia and depression, and I'm excited but also nervous to try it tonight...

Currently.

Some day I would like to not be sleep deprived.

Some day.

An actual thing I just said to my teenage son is: “If you don’t wake up tomorrow morning with rainbows and unicorns shooting out of your ass, we’re not going.”

The dog is definitely ready for bedtime.

Update: I can't read my own handwriting. 😂

For once I actually jotted down little bits of word-inspiration during the week to put in a poem I'm working on. I haven't done this before, so we'll see if I can make use of them. #amwriting

The cats are particularly friendly/nosy today.

It occurs to me that this thing I've been co-writing may piss off a lot of people. I'm excited.

For #nationalpoetrymonth here is one of my published poems (the first one on that page, "Fireflies"). I actually don't love it, but I guess they did? 😉
