Hmmm...I don't know how I managed to forget to write in here.  I guess that's a good sign I've been keeping occupied.  I had an appointment this morning with my Psychiatrist.  It went well.  We changed my sleep meds to Oxazepam because it doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in it.  It is so hard to find medications without it but I prefer to keep away from it.  I'm not sure why they use it in medications...I know they use it in soaps/shampoos/toothpaste/laundry detergent to make them sudsy...oddly enough it's also known as a skin irritant.  Lovely eh.  Well, I'm trying to phase it out of my life as much as possible.  As I use up products that have it in them I try to replace them with non SLS containing products.  After that I picked up my prescription and then went to the mall to meet up with a friend.  Had lunch there and looked around for a bit.  I'm pretty sure I'm out of the impulsive mode...the only thing I bought at the mall was lunch...and then I went to Bulk Barn on the way home...spent some money there but I sort of planned that anyway.  Got veggie chips (craving regular chips big time so it was a comprimise...expensive as heck though...$6 for like half a big chip bag worth.  Got some honey roasted peanuts as well...not entirely healthy but something I haven't had in awhile (and they were fairly cheap).  Splurged though on the fruity gummy candies.  I've been having cravings for them for a few days and they aren't overly expensive either so to satisfy the cravings I succumed to that.  Overall not bad considering how I was a week ago with spending.  I saw a pair of sneakers I wanted for $50+ dollars...and easily would've bought them last week...this time I decided to wait a day or two and if I still want them I will think about going back to get them.  Maybe even convince mom to buy them as a birthday gift.  We'll see.  I do need a new pair of sneakers.   Came home and have pretty much been laying low.  I was really tired and cold but I kept myself awake munching on my goodies and some supper.  I think maybe the combination of sugar and the fact I'm not using the sleeping meds tonight is why I'm still awake at 2:30am.  I'm not suppose to use the meds every night unless I have appointments or my moods are unstable.  Last few days I've been in good spirits and no appointments tomorrow so I am dealing with the not being sleepy thing.  I think I have delayed sleep phase syndrome.  I seem to fit the criteria.  I mentioned it to my psychiatrist...she is interested in finding out more about it.  The only thing is usually there isn't so much daytime sleepiness but that could be a complication of the low white blood cells.  I dunno.  I'd like to try the bright light therapy sometime but I can't afford it right now. Feeling pretty good, not really overly tired, so just gonna get ready for bed and find something to do for a bit.  Let's see how it goes.
