Day #104: Sick

August 28, 2011

I wasn't feeling well, so I went home from church early. I think it may have been because it was my first day back on Citalopram on a higher dose, but I'm not entirely sure. I napped for a good long time when I got home.

Day #90: Vivid Dreams

August 14, 2011

 I switched to Wellbutrin. One of the side effects is vivid dreams. Let me just clear this up: most fun side effect ever!

Day #69: Ducks

July 24, 2011

Sunday was pretty much the only day we had any free time at all. We got to sleep in, then we went to a student ward for sacrament meeting. Then we had free time until a fireside after dinner with Dallyn Bayles, which might I add I was freaking out about. So a bunch of us went out to play in this waterfall by our dorms and take pictures. Then after dinner a group of us sneaked bread out of the Cannon Center and went to feed the ducks:)

Day #50: Running

July 5, 2011

I decided to take up running in the morning. So I got new shoes and clothes and such things and set out early in the morning {I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Oh antidepressants, how counterproductive you are right now.} I think I ate too much breakfast, though, because I ran to a middle school that is about a mile away and got crazy side aches. Also, I haven't run in a long time, so two miles round trip is pushing it a little for me. But I got home and cooled off in the sun and it felt awesome. Then I was tired from waking up early and was able to nap for a half an hour. I slept for 3 hours the night before.  Ugh. It was the most optimistic day I've had in longer than I can remember. I just felt good when I woke up. It was nice.

Day #49: Benadryl

July 4, 2011

For the Fourth of July we got KFC (I made a salad to bring since I don't fancy meat) and went to a park with the whole family and ate then hiked a little bit, then played pooh sticks at the bridge. Well, we went later in the day so that it wouldn't be as crowded and there are tall trees around which create a lot of shade. So the mosquitoes where out.  And I am crazy allergic to them. One bit me on the back of my arm and it swelled to this huge hive like normal, and my sister had Benadryl in her purse because my nephew has really bad allergies and asked if I wanted some. So I said yes, even though it was kids and cherry flavor (which actually was awesome). It worked like a charm, but made me super sleepy. When we got home I actually napped for a half an hour which is huge because I still couldn't sleep at all from my antidepressants. 

Also, I put bandaids on my bug bites..I always have, and I didn't know it was unusual until, like, last year.

Day #44: Bad Sleep

June 29, 2011

I really need to get in the habit of taking pictures of the highlights of my day, rather than just the random parts..Anyways, I hung out with my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang friends and watched a movie with them. But, I didn't get any pictures of that, so once again I will talk about something else! 

I have been getting really bad sleep lately, and my sister thinks it's because of the new antidepressants my doctor has my trying. I can't sleep at night and just lie awake tired until 2 AM. So usually I get up and do stuff like paint, or read, or just stay up watching TV or something stupid because I won't be able to sleep anyways, so I might as well be doing something. Then I sleep in until 12 because I finally get to sleep and my body won't get up. But I'm tired all the time. That isn't so unusual, but I tried napping the other day and tried for like an hour but couldn't. That is unusual. Normally I'm tired all the time and can fall asleep on command after about 15 minutes. Maybe if it is a side effect it will become less prevalent once the medication starts working.

The weirdest thing, though, is when I got up the day before I was really disoriented and off balance. Which is probably from the lack of sleep, but I really couldn't balance just standing up. It was weird.
