so i've been playing with my dog...

ive been using red clover and hyssop extract on my hands feet and scalp to help me fall asleep along with my heat pack on my back. it soothes me.

i started up my antidepressants again at least until my next apt so i can get one thats not as hard on the stomach.

i can only do one major outing a day, one minor outing and 1 small jobs or 2 minor outings, 1 big job and 1 small job, or 5-7 small jobs.

major outing = taking car to mechanic, getting groceries
minor outing = bank, going to my mothers
big job = dishes
small job = art drawing, phone call

ive been getting migraines every day but today i got me some HEADON great stuff!!
i barely ate today.

i'm getting that feeling again that i eat lunch and i feel like total crap afterwards. i wonder why.
