-For the past 4 nights I have worked on Sadie’s room for 2-3 hours after I’ve put her to bed. For all of my hard work I have one wall, the interior of a closet and her bi-fold doors ¾ painted and I need to go and buy more paint. It’s seems like its taking FOREVER and way too much paint. Considering only ¼ of the project is done, I feel like I should have at least ½ can of paint left. NOT loving the low VOC paint we’ve purchased. It clearly doesn’t go on the walls well.
-My new meds are making me an insomniac. After I finish painting, I’ll shower, and watch TV/surf the net until 1:00 am. It’s been AGES since I’ve been able to stay up past 9:00 pm.
-On the topic of new meds, my GP gave me my anxiety meds for flying. She’s prescribed Klonopin and has given me 8 pills. This means I’ll take them the day before and the day of flying, on each end of the trip. I want to try them out before the vacation to see how I react but with only 4 days worth I don’t want to use them up. Does anyone out there have experience with Klonopin? From reading up online it sounds like its some serious shit. Is this overkill? I haven’t even had a panic attack about flying yet. I mean, there have been a couple of “I can’t do this” moments but nothing with a physical response that would require sedation.
-And Disney, the Mouse got us AGAIN. I’ve upgraded our “not really free dining” which has now cost us $700 from the original “room only” rate of $60. For $1100/week we are getting Park Passes, Hotel and Dining (1 table, 1 quick service, 2 snacks per person). That is the rate we would normally pay WITHOUT dining so I guess it is free when you think of it that way… but still. The good news is that the first week we are going must be wildly unpopular because I was able to get almost every dining reservation I wanted. We are booked into several character meals including dining at Cinderella’s castle. That dinner alone, free with the dining plan, would have cost us $125.

Hmmm, I used klonopin to blunt the edges of anxiety. My friend (who used it recreationally) called it 'yellow pajamas' because it made her feel like she was just hanging out in yellow pajamas and all would be a-ok. I hope it works well for you. My colleague used it rather constantly until she realized she was hooked-- that is probably why you only got 8 pills!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great vacation you have lined up :)
Klonopin is some strong stuff. What about a Xanax? Can you 1/2 the pills? maybe you'll only need 1/2 of it. I have a better idea... Just have a drink or two before the flight... you'll be fiiiiine!!!! =)
