We’re having carnitas for dinner tonight. This morning, I went to Walmart to buy ham hocks for the beans, which I started when I got home. I might pick up some cilantro later as well. I need to return to Walmart when Kel gets home to pick up my medication since the pharmacy wasn’t open this morning. I’ve been out of my bipolar medication for a few days now, and I’m already experiencing withdrawal symptoms. I believe it also helps with my focus, as I’m definitely struggling to concentrate today. The withdrawal may be contributing to that. I’m dealing with some itchy sensations on my skin, and I’m doing my best not to scratch.
Alexis is joining us for the trip to Walmart. She wants to get some creamer for her coffee. I also need to stop by the post office to mail Lexi’s health insurance and tax documents. Since Lexi will be with me, I’ll likely have her take care of the payment.
I’m working on honing my coding skills, but I’m finding it a bit challenging. Right now, I’m focusing on developing a deepClone() function. I’ve decided to delve into some reading about it, I feel that reading is becoming easier right now than coding.
I haven’t eaten yet today, and it’s nearly lunchtime. I’m considering grabbing some food since my focus is elsewhere at the moment.
I’ve just had lunch—some eggs and toast. I also printed a few pictures of my girls in their caps and gowns and added them to my physical journal. I don’t write in it very often, but I enjoy including pictures and mementos. At the moment, I have three pets—Sandy, O’Malley, and Mimi—sleeping in my office, and their role is to keep me productive, though they’re currently not doing a great job of it.
Kel will be home soon so we can head to Walmart and the post office. We’re under a severe weather warning right now, with very windy conditions outside. It’s warm but blustery.
I just returned from Walmart, but unfortunately, the pharmacy was closed, so I couldn’t pick up my medication. Kel has a pedicure appointment there at 4, and she has offered to get my medication for me while she’s there. I’m feeling quite itchy all over, and it’s making it difficult for me to focus. I really need my medication, if only to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms.
I have a Kaweco fountain pen that I got some months ago, but I can’t use it yet since it didn’t come with a converter. I was aware that it wouldn’t include an ink cartridge, but I didn’t expect the absence of a converter. I’ll need to buy one later so that I can fill it with ink. At the moment, I only have a bottle of black ink and a bottle of brown ink, and I think I’ll go with the black ink for now. Well, once I get a converter.
Did I mention that we’re having tacos for dinner tonight? Well, we are! I bought some cilantro and I’m currently defrosting some green chile. I plan to wrap up my coding for the day and wait for my medication, which Kel just picked up from Walmart. Once I take it, my withdrawal symptoms should subside. While it’s not as severe as the withdrawal from Venlafaxine, it’s still not a pleasant experience. The experience made today feel very long.
