Psychiatrist is removing my Cymbalta (I have to wean off of it slowly) and replaced it with Adderall. Not for ADD, but because I'm so exhausted all the time, and sleep way more than is normal. I took it today and, voila, for once I actually feel I'm at a normal energy level. Hopefully it'll stay this way! It's nice to not feel like sleeping all day. Kind of sad that I have to take a stimulant in order to feel normal, but, hey, at least something is doing the trick.

I'm temporarily taking over another position at work as well, which means about ten hours more work per week. Our administration assistant quit for a job with more hours, and then we hired a new one, but then she quit as well for some reason before she even started. So for now I'm doing it! I like it, actually, it's pretty easy work, takes up hours I'd otherwise just be napping or watching TV, and means I'll have a better paycheck next month. No complaints here! :D

There are two hens in the Yuba county shelter, so I'm sending mom to pick them up for me tomorrow. XD She's heading home from Davis, where my grandmother is, anyway, so it works out well. Can't resist helping out these two, poor girls have been in the shelter for going on ten days, and I have space for them.

We were supposed to take in the two cockatiels today, but apparently the guy giving them to us flaked. One would think that, if someone is taking your beloved birds and giving them a new home, you'd bring them when you said you would. Oh well, we'll probably still get them at some point.

snowflaika did a drawing of my pony for me because she's wonderful! ♥ Eeeee!



I feel really fortunate to have such great friends. ♥

I still haven't gotten to listing things on Ebay, I think I'm going to actually do that tonight!

I might write more entries tonight as well, now that I feel more normal thanks to meds.

Don't feel bad; that's the only reason I'm taking Adderall. I can't stay awake during the day, otherwise. :/

It's good to know I'm not alone in that! Isn't it strange that we both have this issue? Without the Adderall I'll sleep around 8-10 hours per night PLUS another 3-7 hours during the day on top of that.

At least we've found something to help us!

That's exactly how I was! At least now I can stay awake all day(most days). My sleep schedule is still pretty screwed up because of the fact that it had been going on for so long, but I'm trying to make it better by setting an alarm and trying to exercise regularly; it wears me out if I do it in the evening, so I'll go to bed earlier.

It's only been one day so we'll see, but I'm optimistic! And yeah, work is going great!

I'll be free tomorrow and Friday after 5 PM, and Saturday after 1:30 PM. All day Sunday and Monday.
