*snip details* I’ve never taken anything like this before so it’s all new territory, but it kind of feels like when I take sudafed and I feel a little high. Weird. So today will be a lazy day around the house. When my friend started it she said it took like 2 weeks to get to start feeling normal and all the weird feelings go away.

Aww, I’m sorry trtlcrzy. I hope for your sake that shitty sleep is not always going to be the result of taking the Zoloft. I don’t know much about that either. But that does remind me, wineallthetime, I remember you had said to let you know how my appt w the therapist went. It was fine. She suggested a book, which I bought, and some apps that may help me calm down and distract me during flights. She also arranged for my pcp to prescribe Xanax that I can take when I fly. So I’ll let you all know how that goes next month! I also have another appt about a week before we fly.

It also made me feel pretty tired. I started taking it before bed instead of in the morning and it helped a lot. Now that I’ve been on it for over a year I guess my body is used to it because I can take it in the morning now without feeling drowsy.

Morning ladies! I have a follow-up appointment today and then I'm going to attempt to work from home... Tim and Layla are both home. I hope all the sick kiddos feel better. This year is the worst I read the other day that Kansas is the sickest (adjusted for population) in the country. This can end anytime.

E has been really great during the day and even during most of bedtime but when it is that last minute to get in bed he has been acting very strange the last 2 nights. It is behavior I haven't seen in him before (although probably the norm for several on here). I really hope it is a phase, we are both emotional about how the day ends so badly.

Now that I’ve been on it for over a year I guess my body is used to it because I can take it in the morning now without feeling drowsy. I've never taken it before, but have taken similar meds and would say I agree! At least with the ones I tried, I felt like I was in a fog at first and sort of like I was moving in slow motion and couldn't fully concentrate. It took about 2 weeks for the fog to lift. ETA: Actually, I think maybe zoloft was the first med I was on a couple years ago.

Morning. I had a terrible night of sleep. I took the Zoloft at like 4:30-5 when we got home yesterday and was tired after supper. I ended up falling asleep between 8:30-9. Then I woke up at 1:30 and couldn’t fall back asleep. I finally took some of H’s melatonin at like 4:30, dozed off and S woke up screaming at 6. Brought her into my bed and I’m not sure how long that lasted because I fell back asleep. It’s going to be a long day. I’ve never taken anything like this before so it’s all new territory, but it kind of feels like when I take sudafed and I feel a little high. Weird. So today will be a lazy day around the house. I remember the first couple of weeks feeling fuzzy. I always take my meds right before bed now because they make me a little drowsy.

I hope the procedure goes well today kim22Thanks guys. The doctor said it would be an adjustment so I knew it would be a bit before I feel normal. lfig I read online to take it before bed because of the drowsiness, apparently 4:30 is too early though. Tonight I’m planning to take it at like 9 so I don’t wake up MOTN again.

You might actually look at home depot and lowes. They have a ton of various styles. OR if you're feeling crafty you can make your own. I made Cadence's, but she only needed 4 of them.

Morning. Kids are at school and I really want to enjoy this last day off of work, but I HAVE to get some house work done. For now, I’m sipping tea and will be watching Grey’s shortly. Feeling more normal today besides being stuffy and my cough. Hope the procedure goes well today kim22.

Ooooh those are super pretty, L needs them. I went through the same thing when I was doing J’s room and spent about $90 on 6 of them, expensive but I love them. I got her’s from etsy. I checked anthropologie, etsy, zulily, amazon and they were all about the same price so I just ended up getting what I loved. Maybe craft stores?

cagoldi there is a thread on GD by gingy called "Update on Me" and I think she has a similar immunosuppressed diagnosis as you. Thought I'd let you know in case it's helpful in any way.

Sunny41 , is he possibly having bad dreams so he doesn't want to fall asleep? No, he gets whiney for that kind of thing. This is more manic behavior. I had to subtly suggest he spends time with his other friends today at school because I think 1 kid is influencing his behavior. Again, it isn't horrible, just very unlike him. He is getting up and opening the door (he doesn't get out of bed at any time on his own), he said he wanted to kick me. As I type this I realize that he is trying to make me mad. I think MH might have to do bedtimes for a while so the little instigator doesn't act up.

Ballard Designs has started carrying hardware, might want to check there. There’s also a company under the Pottery Barn umbrella, Rejuvenation, that might have something. Restoration Hardware carries hardware, as well, but not sure if they have anything for furniture. If you strike out at all those places is just google replacement furniture hardware and see what you get. I looked into replacing the pulls on our antique China cabinet and found several options online, but never got around to ordering anything.

Even for just cabinet hardware for a kitchen or bath, a good pull can easily run $5-10, if not more. I’d say get what you love if it’s a piece you think you’ll have for awhile; if it’s just a stopgap then cheaper is probably fine.

My neck is killing me. I moved my pillow last night in my sleep so it was on top of another pillow and I ended up sleeping with it in a weird position. I finished OITNB yesterday and started on that End of the F@*&ing World show. I only watched the first episode and I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Morning.
We got a huge dump of snow so the commute is a tad bit longer, which normally would be ok but I’m starving and require some coffee.
Move it driver, let’s go.

wineallthetime Hobby Lobby has cute knobs. I always wait until they are 40% off. Which is every few weeks. Hope C isn’t actually sick!!! What she said.

Morning! wineallthetime heartburn is the worst, you have all my sorries. As for knobs, even though I tend to try and avoid shopping there anymore, hobby lobby as a great selection for really reasonable prices. I’ve always gone there when I’ve redone furniture because I feel like I can find something with a little more flair and character. kim22 thinking of you today!!
