Ok, so because I have such a hard time focusing and don’t get much done in a day, my docs office is trying me on Adderall. I was fine on Adderal XR (extended release), but I thought it would kind of wear off mid-day, especially since my RNY surgery. So when Matt went in for his physical a couple days ago, I told him to mention to them my script seemed a little weak. Well, they wrote me out a script for Adderall IR (instant release).. I thought it might help because I can’t stay focused enough to do anything, I’m very scatter brained. I have a 1000 things to do and can’t just do one thing at a time. It’s weird. I’ve been trying to study my photography books, and it goes in through the eyes and out through the ears as i’m reading to myself, but none of it can stay put in my brain. It’s starting to really irk me off bad. I was hoping the meds would help but since i’ve only been on them a week who knows if they will. I have to get over this sluggish feeling. Maybe i’m just nuts. :o) For once though i’d love to stay focused enough to do something productive. Since I’ve had Ava it’s gotten much worse though, and I’m not sure why.
I’ve still not recovered from my long, hot, fun filled day at Cedar Point. I blame the meds, but I also blame the fact that i’ve had a whole bottle of water in the last 3 days. I just don’t feel hungry or thirsty even though I must be. That is a good and bad thing about my new meds. Chris had a baseball game today at 3:15 and I couldn’t bare to go out in the 96 degree heat and sit there. I felt bad for the kids having to play in that heat too. They wear heavy cotton socks, polyester shirts and thick pants. Chris came home sweating to death. Of course, today on the news a 13 year old boy died because he got hit in the chest with a pitch in little league, and then Chris comes home and tells me he took a hit in the chest today. That scares me a lot! I know chances from dying from such a freak accident are low, but still.
Matt threw out like 90% of the kids’ toys today, even stuff they got for Christmas this past year. I felt bad, but hey, they treated the stuff bad. I might donate it to the salvation army though. We cannot possibly take all that stuff to the new place, no way. Half our problem is we have too much stuff, so elimination is a big key.
Yep well it’s time for bed!
