The sun still rises, the earth still turns, 5 things still make a post

[slipjig3]

1) Another rainy morning, another walk denied, boo and fie and a pox upon it all, even though the rain and the high temp in the mid-70s are both still nice.

2) No idea what I'm having for breakfast today. We're out of bagels, we're out of avocados for smushing on toast, and I've come to the conclusion that cereal is not actually a food because I end up carb crashing an hour and a half later. We do, however, have healthy-brand Oreos, so....

3) I took a Klonopin yesterday afternoon to see if it would help the anxiety-related lightheadedness. It, shall we say, did not: I stood up, I turned left, the room turned right, I sat down again, and long story short we ordered from Portland Pie instead of me making chicken florentine pasta as planned because knives and I were not going to get along. Chalk one up for science.

4) I keep saying I'm going to write at length about the YouTube channel here, and I never do. I also keep saying I'm going to make a new video for the YouTube channel, and ditto. I'm sensing a correlation.

5) Just realized I never made coffee this morning. If you'll excuse me....

If we can figure out hand off, I have eggs! Lol. But yeah - today was a bit of a low protein day - breakfast biscuits it was :P

Ooooh. You have my attention.

I *like* carbs, and I've still had to give up breakfast cereals. I just have no energy for the day after I eat them. I've been alternating between eggs and oatmeal, except when Karen makes pancakes.

They always seem like a great idea at the time, and then you're mopping drool off your mouse pad three hours later. (And ooooh, pancakes!)

I remember how loopy you get on Klonopin! Ever try another to see if it works better?

[slipjig3]

I've tried Ativan, which I think works a little better maybe? They're similar enough that I don't know if it'd make that big a difference, but it's worth discussing. In the meantime, I'm sticking with half a pill unless a coma is the desired state.

I've been on Klonopin for 11 years now with a hope to wean myself off in the near future.

These days my default dose is a half-pill at night until/unless I have a panic attack and then I up it for a couple of days which trashes my focus the following day.

Aiee, this. Generally I'm verrry careful about taking it only when I really need it, because day-after Klonopin hangover = me being generally useless.
