Oops!
Remember that possum that was hanging out a few weeks ago?
Well, he utterly destroyed the heated cat shelter, and had become a bit of a nuisance. SO... we trapped him last night.
We got up this morning, and fixed breakfast, ate, and headed out to the country.
The release took way longer than expected, as Mr Pokey Possum hung on to the wire of the cage and refused to exit.
After some degree of coaxing, and upside down hanging, he finally got out, and we headed home.
By that time, I had totally forgotten it was blog day.
My plan was to work on my container garden a bit more today, but it's SO windy that it would exhaust me. I freaking HATE the Oklahoma wind. It can be truly relentless.
In other news, I got a new prescription from my oncologist to help me sleep. After almost 2 weeks of only getting 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night, I asked for help.
He prescribed tradazone, which is an old school anti-depressant that can also improve sleep.
I tried a quarter of a tablet on Friday night, and only got up about 5 times that night, and went BACK TO SLEEP every time, which was a MAJOR improvement.
So, last night, I tried a half tablet, and woke up this morning, after sleeping pretty well, feeling like I had a hang over. It was awful, and it didn't wear off until lunch time.
Clearly, I can't take the recommended dose of half a tablet (the smallest tablet available is 50mg). I will stick with a quarter for a while, and see what happens.
I'd prefer to not take it every night, and only use it as needed.
I don't like taking drugs.
Today is Vernal Equinox, so I am planning to do a bit of a meditation later on balance, and that should help me break this cycle of despair and insomnia.
I also baked some dark chocolate fudge cookies with dark chocolate chunks and dried cherries..... THAT will for sure help!!
Nothing much else to report. Have a good week!
