Thurs check-in and 1 month on Lexapro

 I had no reason to be worried and I almost let it go, but you know... anxiety. Anyway, my furniture delivery is confirmed - twice. 

Yay!

Had another weird dream last night that involved me having an affair with a little person and her trying to beat me. But it happened in my childhood home. Weird, right?!

Done with meetings for the day, and the week really. 

And it's only 10a. Yay!

I have furniture confirmed. This is really happening folks!!

(Trying not to think about offhand comment I made during a psych safety mtg...oh well!)

I went to book hotel and the price went up. That's so annoying. And last night I was just giving myself a talk on how I am going to spend more money on convenience - no more back alley hair stylists. Another blogger highlighted this and it stuck with me given my recent predicament. So I'm hoping to find a hairstylist that does what I want vs the cheapest solutions. But it also has to be convenient, so we shall see!

I also booked my eye appointment. This one was a great marker of progress as well. I tried it on Tuesday and got frustrated after clicking around and calling 3 offices. 

Then last night I tried again and found a national chain that's less than 2 miles from my new house. Yay, convenience. I got stuck a bit choosing an appointment time because I hate the waiting for appointments on a relatively slow day, but just decided to go with next week a couple hours after counseling and maybe can use that gap to continue getting the house ready.

I finalized my Walmart order. By some miracle, they're delivering today, whoops! Oh well, I needed it off my mental plate. 

I went to book the hotel at Nearer Roadstop and it looks like the price went up $20! Drat! It's annoying but to get it off my mental plate, I might just wait a couple hours and book it as well.

I didn't realize the price would go up that much. So that's annoying. 

But I am excited to stop at a Hotel closer to Newtown. Funny how my roadtrip has changed without much emotional turmoil. I generally started with what I had in mind and then let updated conditions allow me to update my plans. 

I think Nearer Roadstop is a town I would ordinarily not visit so it'll be fun to stop there. #DoAllTheThings #HaveAllTheFun. 

And there's a McDonald's close by. And Panera. There commercials have been working. Sure, I'd love a Budget Duet meal. Why not.

So the week is almost up.

Today - finish up the leftover Chinese food. Note to self - Chinese food does not keep well. Definitely not a week.

Friday and Saturday - just planning to get some deli/counter meals from the Publix.

Sunday - road snacks of nuts and dry cereal; but still planning to stop at the halfway mark for gas/McDonald's. Same for Monday. 

Oh, also officially cancelling my Landing Standby membership for the day after I move out just in case. I don't want to be rushed to leave at 11a on Sunday. Just going to leave as I feel. Check-in time at the hotel is 3p so while I traditionally like getting on the road early to avoid cars, I might just mosey since I have nothing else to do and nowhere to be. Monday, might be a different story though. I'll probably be too excited to sleep. Eeeek!

Lexapro- got the reminder for my 1-month checkin. I've been focused on making it to Week 6. But at 1 month, I don't feel remarkably different. The last few days I have been grinning like Cheshire cat, so there's that. I definitely don't feel as good as I did on my best day on Lexapro. But I also don't feel the impending transition making me want to hang off the balcony rather than deal with it, so there's that. 

Weird eyelid twitching and coughing. Although I don't think I've coughed in 2 days, so there's also that. I'm fine to keep taking the meds. We'll see if something really good happens.
