Where does the time go?

Wow! Already 2 months since Xmas, time seems to be flying as much as it also appears to be standing still. I lost another morning to sleep. I have no real idea why this is happening. It could have something to do with me only getting to bed around midnight but that has never really been an issue before. Just more adjusting to a new lifestyle, I guess.
Speaking of new lifestyle, I need to have serious words (via email) with my shrink about this drug she has me on. This serious case of the continual munchies is not good. I've gained nearly 8kgs since I started taking it in December. This is not good! I need to maintain a healthy anesthetic weight as well as get fit for the next op (there will be one!) and fighting against this side-effect is not helping. I'll just ignore for now that the weight gain isn't help my mood much, although mom says my mood is more "let me snap your head off for you because you're in my way" aggro than it has been in a long time. It might be the frustration at having to let go of my independence but I think the meds are somewhat to blame too.
Another time-sink is Facebook. I sit at my desk fully intending to write up blog posts from the always growing backlog but a simple "quick check of Facebook" results me surfacing later and noticing I've lost hours. Again depressing.
No wonder my mood is low or at least iffy. I just want a hug, a real hug. Somehow this is my cure-all again. Now to find someone to hug. It can't be just anybody though and hugging my family is not working at all. *le sigh*
I did manage one new blog post today and also sync'd up all the cross-posting places again, particularly the more manual ones. Doesn't feel like I'm doing much though but it's a start. I'm going to have to blog like a demon to get up to date by the weekend but I really want to be up to date when I upgrade and update my website. It would be nice and make me feel better too.
Now time to take the meds this side of midnight see if that makes a difference towards not losing a morning to sleep. Besides, mom is waking me up tomorrow so we can grocery shopping early. That should help too.
I also mustn't forget I'm going to a MENSA talk tomorrow night so time will be short tomorrow. It's part of my mission to get out and be more social but also because the talk is guaranteed to be interesting: Forensic Genetics!
