i just rearranged my living room. it's been static for maybe a year and it's time. i don't like my living arrangements to be set in place for too too long. i don't know what it is, but i like the change.
moving stuff on my own is a bit of challenge sometimes, and really, if the cats would help a little more instead of sitting on what i'm moving and criticizing it would go a lot quicker. spike slept on the day bed as i pushed and pulled it from one side of the living room to the other. (it's really not that big a space so i guess i'm being a little dramatic) he then woke up and watched carefully as i moved the television and stand. he was obviously concerned, probably didn't want me to break it...whatever would he do? *paw stapled to forehead*.
anyway, it's little more intimate i think and will be even better when i finally paint the furniture and get the sewing done.
had a change in med's yesterday. and already i'm feeling better. i was on a drug which apparently has proven to be effective for people with bp. sure didn't agree with me. as with most of the drugs i'm on, i had to gradually increase the dose until i hit optimum dose. that would be 600 mg. i couldn't get beyond 100. tried 150 for a bit, but i felt like i was swimming in jello, and i could not wake and get going in the morning like i used to. asked the dr. if i could discontinue this one and described how i felt, and so now i'm off it. fortunately i don't have to gradually decrease the dosages before i quit taking it altogether. the down side is i didn't sleep terribly well last night, but that'll change, i'm sure. it will dammit, it will. it's reassuring to know that the dr. does listen to me and doesn't quibble when he thinks it's a reasonable request. whew.
