Feeling Better?

 So it’s a spring Sunday morning, I must say the anxiety appears to be well controlled, which means I’ve fully adjusted to the 112 mcg. Levothyroxine for my thyroid and the Gabapentin is working. It appears I’m medicated perfectly? Is that even possible? I’m to write about this for therapist Matt. I’m still sedentary but that’s behavior so deeply ingrained that I wonder if I can completely change it. Oh well.

But despite this, I’m feeling better. I’m not afraid. I’m gonna shower today and do laundry, then make a golden beet borscht and a fancy egg salad. I guess I’m still kinda a one trick pony as far as household chores go, but my husband appears content to pick up the slack around here. 

With his new sleep schedule of getting up at dawn he’s got a lot of energy to organize and clean. Heck, this needs to be done and I appear incapable of doing it. Do I blame my meds? Or am I lazy? Matt seems to think I have the energy to do more. I will write about in my therapy assignment for this week. One thing is for sure: I’m getting uncomfortable with all this activity of my husband. It’s spurring me on to do something myself. I can’t just sit around.

For now, I’m taking things slow and steady. Make brunch. Fill pill trays. Shower. Start laundry. Tomorrow morning I do a blood draw for Dr. Larrimer, then visit with mom. Easter is in a week and the family will be gathering.

So it’s Monday afternoon, I had blood draw this morning and then had extremely pleasant visit with mom. It’s 70 degrees out, nice Spring day. Making pasta primavera for dinner tonight, a very timely dish that’s always well-received. I’m feeling good, not wiggy, which is nice. I may though ask Dr. Larrimer for a further reduction in my levothyroxine depending upon my lab results. Go down to 100 mcg, back where we started three months ago. We shall see.

My husband continues to get up before dawn and has a lot more energy than me. This is not a competition though. Remember this, Melissa!
