Vacation, day 1
Today I didn't do much, just sleep. I did get some laundry done and tomorrow we are going to see my cousins so I have to pack tonight. It should be easy, since most of my stuff is in my luggage already, I just have to switch to a smaller suitcase. The Depakote has been making me really tired, but hopefully I will be over it soon. It maybe wasn't the best idea to start new pills right before I left on vacation, but the mood swings were out of control. I would rather be tired all the time than mood swinging like crazy.
It figures lol. Last time I came up here, I brought a ton of stuff- stuff for cold, stuff for hot, and all that. It turned out to be way too much and I didn't use half the stuff in my suitcase. So this time I just packed some clothes for warm weather, and it's supposed to be cold in South Carolina where my cousins are at. Oh well. There are sweaters here I can use when I leave tomorrow. I would rather travel light and have to get something later than travel with a ton of junk.
Food: Today was veggie heaven! I had a veggie plate for lunch (some mashed sweet potatoes, and raw carrots, broccoli, celery and cauliflower with some ranch dressing. Dinner was small ribs with steamed cauliflower and carrots with a baked potato and some rolls. Breakfast was just a bowl of Rice Krispies. Didn't do that great on water today since the water up here tastes funny, but I'm working on it. I had a large glass of milk with dinner and I've drank about 40 ounces of water so far.
Sleep- I slept from midnight to around 7am, got up and ate breakfast and then went back to sleep until 10am. I took a nap from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. I don't really know how my mood is- I just feel tired and drugged, so I'm keeping my mood at "okay"
