Last Minute Busy Day

Wednesday was a day

I was hoping for a day of relaxing at home, not needing to leave for anything. Late Monday night, I got a call from MIL saying she would like to come over to visit while FIL is golfing with friends. The house cleaner was also scheduled to come over, after numerous rearrangements since last Thursday night. The MOMS Club monthly meeting was moved to Wednesdays, which I didn’t know about until that morning. I then had a doctor appointment to check on something, but at least MIL would be there to pick up the kids and let me go all alone.

It was a busy day, and I just didn’t get much down time. I did sneak in a 30 min nap between the meeting and doctor appointment, but that little bit of time, it doesn’t really help any.

Anxiety was still high, but I got a call-back from my psychiatrist confirming the amount of perphenazine I can take. I hit the supposed max on Tuesday of six pills, but hopefully I will not get that bad again. This is a bit of relief, not that the anti-anxiety med is super effective, but it is a psychological thing as well; most of the time it settles me down to a nice slightly elevated state.
