I keep thinking that spring is here and then it snows again. I actually saw the first robin of the season about 3 weeks ago, however, it has been so cold that the crocuses are just coming up. Who knows when the tulips will be blooming. BH has brought me flowers a couple of times which has been nice. I have stopped taking the nortryptiline. It has been a couple of weeks and I am having some adjustment problems, not being able to sleep, being a little cranky, but I think things are working out now. I had an EEG and CT scan yesterday. I was really tired because they make you get little sleep so the scans are easier to read with less stimulation. I slept most of the afternoon. I did actually sleep last night. Some of the frustration and tenseness went away with three very small cuts. Not too deep and not long. If I can stick to that every day or so I think it will be ok. I have also lost 7 pounds in about 10 days-must be water weight. I am still going to work out even though I am not sure how much good it does-the weight seems really dependent on the meds. I feel really awake today, not like the past week or so when I have been in a bit of a fog. Today should be good even with the impending snow.

Three things today.

First, I have been invited to be a part of the pastoral care team at church. I am very honored.

Second, I no longer take nortriptyline! Still a little scary, but I will take things day by day.

Third, just went into the living room to show BH something and Singin in the Rain was on TV for the first time in about a year. Interestingly, I received the backordered copy of Singing in the Rain.

DS will be thirteen next week and is a wonderful, empathic young man. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Well, this has been an interesting week so far. We've had snow and yuck with 60 mph winds. Yesterday, I found out that the S kitty is partially albino (on the right side)-cost me $45.00. I went to see Dr. S and I am discontinuing the nortriptyline starting tonight. I'm a bit scared because I don't want to become more depressed. I have done well over the last month on the lower amount and I feel better than I have in 6 or 7 years, so I will think positively.
