Hi everyone!
I'm just posting a note to say that I've caught up on reading this thread and am praying for y'all! I'm doing okay, despite the stress and all. Because of the increased meds, I'm able to handle it better than I used to. I also found out that I can wait to take my morning Risperdal until later when I have to drive during the day.
I need to log off now and go to bed, so goodnight, everyone!

The headache didn't go away. The other problems didn't go away. I didn't go to the Bible study.

What do you take for your headaches, Roberta? There's only one OTC med that works for mine.

Right now all I have is extra strength Tylenol and asprin. Part of it's sinus and part of it's tension.

Can you get Paramol over there? It's the only thing that works for me. That teensy bit of dihydrocodeine that it contains seems to make all the difference. Also, with my sinuses at this time of year I find the odd antihistamine tablet (Zirtek or Clarityn) helps.

Roberta, are you still taking lithium? If so, you need to take care with asprin as it's a NSAI and can interfere with the level of lithium in your blood (lithium levels will increase).
Can I say EEEEEK.... I set my alarm (only one as I thought it would be sufficient) for this morning and didn't wake up when it went off but an hour later. I was a little rushed but had time for breakfast (something I don't always do) before I left.
Didn't have a very deep session with my psychologist today but there were a lot of things that we had to cover. We talked about how things had been over the past few weeks and I remembered (eventually) that I was very positive after I left. She asked because of the session (bad move) because I told her it was because I was free from therapy for 3 weeks as she was on leave. She laughed.
Headed into Bath afterwards and did some shopping. Then came home and collapsed for a while.

You may want to check with her then Roberta... also ~ if you have asthma (not sure if you do), asprin may trigger asthma attacks (I learnt that yesterday when I saw the nurse!).

Well, I finished my cat house this morning, built out of an old dresser. It isn't painted yet, but at least he can use it, if he will. I put carpet in it, and put in an old but large towel for him to sleep on. I put plastic in the walls for more insulation. I am going to try to encourage him to eat his food on the top of the house, where I put carpet, too. And I may put some carpet on the side what is away from the rain (I put his house in my carport) for him to use and also to insulate it a little more.
It is presently an unpainted, ugly little house, but it will look better later, when I finish it and paint it. For now, it is getting cold, and I just wanted a place for him to get away from the weather.
He continues to recognize that he owns me, and he is starting to get more used to my husband as well. Neither of us have touched him yet, but he did take food from my hand the other day. Since he is ferral, I can't treat him for fleas, so I put a little garlic in his food. I was told that this will likely get rid of any fleas he has.

Well, regarding my cat house, it was fairly perfect for Moochie. It was one of those dressers that had two drawers on the sides, like a U, with a mirror above the table-top at the bottom of the U. The house-part is between the "legs" of the U.
I removed the drawers and the parts that held the drawers in place, using these parts to make a roof and floor. There is a hole cut in what was the top, so Moochie can enter.
(The round hole used for the door was already in the top, because we were using it to hold a large bowl full of flowers. We had the dresser outside to hold our garden tools inside the drawers.)
I enticed Moochie into the house by leading him there with bits of turkey. I put some pieces inside the house, and he went inside to eat them. He also went onto the roof to eat more food, because I put his water and food bowls there. He seems to have taken to it so far, but I am waiting to see if he will sleep in it.

This time my withdrawals seemed to be easier to deal with while I was around other people. That doesn't usually happen. Usually I get much worse when I'm in a crowd or too busy or both. So, I'm glad I went. That's awesome, Roberta!
Sounds like you've done a great job with that kitty's house, Abiyah!
I'm getting sick--lungs, sinuses, eyes.
