Well the med combo was not fun today. I was super hot, nauseous, and spacey. And my jaw kept tensing shut? It was odd. I requested to leave work at 10am, after getting there at 8. They made me stay until 2:30, so that wasn't fun. I'm nervous to take it again tomorrow because I have to work 1:30-10:30. I want to call off to give my body some time, but they act like it's the end of the world if someone needs a day off, so I never ask when I don't feel well.

ANYWAY

How are you guys today? ^_^

Aw, that really sucks! :c I was going to ask how today went for you. You should call off if you think it's in your best interest -- your health is important! Was muscle tenseness a side-effect of the medicine? I know stress in general can cause muscle tenseness.

I'm alright. I'm pooped, heh. I taught another art class this morning and the theater we teach it in is always really warm under all the stage lights. And my family was being impossibly frustrating when I went over to see my grandma, so I was stuck there for a few hours and couldn't nap there <_< But I'm good overall!

I actually haven't read up on the side effects yet other than possibly drowziness if taken with alcohol. I need to do that. I'm probably going to call off tomorrow, I'm just really nervous about it.

Ooo how did the art class go? It's so cool that you teach. ^_^ I'm sorry your family wasn't being super great; what was going on?

- That's not good. I hope it's just your body getting used to the medication and not bad side effects.

How are you feeling today?

I hope so, as well. It's a little better today, but I'm still really tired and spacey and hot. Just no nausea yet, thankfully. I called off today to give my body some rest, but that means I'll have to work tomorrow even though I was supposed to be off. Oh well. How are you?

- That's good that you're a little better. Hopefully, it gets better and better. Have you checked how your medications interact with each other? I don't think the ones your taking would affect each other that much or at all, but it would be good to check.

I'm pretty good! I'm actually going to do all the quests for the first time since Monday since I have time. I'm sad I didn't get much time with my fiance on his days off. Though, he might be getting sick and might have to stay home tomorrow.

Aww why didn't you get much time with him? Hopefully he's not getting sick; being sick in the summer is miserable.

Oh I love your Alice and Wonderland painting! so colourful!

How was your friend's visit in the end?

I don't like deleting pings without knowing what they are, I hate missing things XD

Oh my. That's a lot of dogs in one appartment :/ Sounds super annoying! Hopefully you get used to it and just stop hearing it!

Yup, I tan well! Spanish blood helps, as I don't burn too much and I'm not super pale to start off with!

Changing birth control is the worst :/ I've been on the same one for years and the prospect of having to change at some point makes me uncomfortable. It takes like 3 months to adjust properly D:

I've never taken any depression meds, but I'm sure they mess whith pretty much everything D:

Hope you're feeling all right with them!

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been around much! With summer coming there are a lot of social events going on! i've just been trying to get my quests in!

slinks back in Hi everyone! Long time, no see. With my move, life has been pretty crazy the last few months. I'm all settled in now (officially celebrating 1 week in my new place and loving downtown life!) Now that things are calming down, I'm gonna be a more regular fixture around here again (I hope) :)

I see I've missed quite a bit (including Vesnali, boo.) What else I have I missed? What's new with all you guys?

Kristyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

Did you have a house warming party? Do you have photos of your new flat? Glad to have you around again <3

I've been good. Had a weeks holiday in France last week, starting my second 4 month rotation in a different lab which is taking a bit of getting used to. But overall enjoying spring/almost summer :D I went punting for the first time today!

Hello hello <3 How're you doing today??

Thank youuu o////o I had so much fun with that painting XDD My friend ended up ditching me again so yeah idk. There some storm on the horizon there, but we'll see what happens x-x Social events? Been having fun I hope! <3

(>OwO)> Heyyyy I missed you! I'm really glad you're settling in (and congrats on the move!) ;A; You missed the wedding didn't you?? D:

HEYYY! How are you? I'm glad to hear you're in your new home and enjoying it <3 Josh and I are hoping to get a place in downtown, as well. Walking to places sounds nice.

Starting/switching meds is the worst. I'm on day 3 now and I've been exhausted nonstop. I probably yawned like 50 times at work today, and I got like 8 hours of sleep. I'm hoping this goes away soon. I'm glad you've been enjoying the social aspects of summer! Anything fun planned soon? (:

Heyyy bb! I'm really tired from the meds still, but I'm okay. It's just taking a lot out of me, so I'm trying to relax tonight. How are you?

Aw, I'm sorry D: That's never pleasant.

Yessssss. Lots of dinners and parties. It was a friend's birthday this week. I may have to slow down on alcohol though. I've been a little bit hungover most of the week end XD

I really need to get back into sculpting. I do quite miss it D:

Yeah. I've heard depression meds can make you sleep A LOT. But hopefully you'll adjust soon! Yup! Shopping with a friend this afternoon then barbeque!

What are you up to this week end? Do you get some of it off?

I hope the relaxing night was a good one! Was it?? YEah bby altering that much body chemistry ;-; That'd definitely take it out of you!! I had a great day!! Quiet. Arty. Having a rough night.... ok it's 5:20am here so rough morning too since no sleep yet. BUT lemme show you the painting!! HERE

Definitely get back to sculpting!! I'd love to see more of your work and I know you enjoy it a lot <3 Do you have any ideas for your next project?? Pft, woman, hung over most of the week? Been there but yeah might was to ease back a bit. I'm really glad you've had so much fun at the dinners and parties though!!

Aha, only the week end thankfully! I don't think I could manage an entire week of hangover XD Trying to work in a chemistry lab with a hangover is an absolute nightmare as solvents usually give you a bit of a headache anyways XD

Well, an actual sculpting class is a bit too expensive, so I was thinking of getting some sculpting clay and trying that out at home. I was looking at ordering some online. It won't be the same, but it should be good fun :o

Oh that's good! An entire week one?? Don't recommend XDD Oh wow yeah I can imagine that the lab would make it even worse! Between the chemicals and the bright lights 0-e;;

Sculpting clay at home? That sounds like a great idea! Yessss I bet it would be fun ^-^ So! What does today have in store for you?? oWo

I'm going to go do charity shops with a friend and then bbq at hers with her housemates :) Right now I'm trying to clear my room up a bit. It's an absolute tip O_O

What about you?

- I have no idea if your ping didn't reach me or if I deleted it. O.o

One day, we went to his mom's house and the next, we were out most of the day with his dad getting things for the house. He did end up getting sick, so he was home yesterday. He recovers fast when he takes a day off. I have a completely different schedule this week. I won't be on much after midday. My fiance is working mornings now and he's here in the afternoons

How are you feeling?

- During the day, we either have music or rain sound effects going to distract us from the noise. And, it's not that bad during the day and early night. It's just around 11 pm and for a few hours after that is terrible. I'm getting closer to figuring out how to sleep though it, but I haven't successfully done it yet.

- Hi! :D

- I'm kind of out of it. I managed to do quests at least! How about you?

I've been considering quitting my job. Josh and I have enough saved up to move whenever we find somewhere to go and jobs, but I still feel bad if I quit now, because he would still be working and I'm not sure when we'll be ready to go. But my job has been stressing me out a lot; I automatically feel dread when I walk in. And my new meds aren't making it easy to be there, especially for the long shifts. I;m exhausted. Idk if I should or shouldn't.

- That is a hard call. If you quit your job, you can put more time into finding a new job. But, it can be a gamble depending on how hard it is to find a job.

Does Josh make enough to support you two until the move/you find another job? If he does and he's understanding of the situation, then it would be best if you quit. From my experience, staying in a job where I felt dread walking in and forced me to work when I was exhausted made me severely sick (to the point I collapsed at work) and destroyed my mental health.
