I have on four layers, one of which is fleece, two fleece socks and velvet lined bootie slippers and my legs were covered with two fleece blankets AND I'm wearing a stocking cap.
I felt seriously chilled.
Then I just realized that I'd missed taking my meds for two days in a row. (Stayed up for 24 hours - didn't take it. Then crashed last night and didn't take it)
Lack of seratonin in the blood stream is serious business.
I know this and yet it's so easy to forget that when I'm feeling pain and cranky and as if I'm handling things badly there's actually likely a reason and I should stop and consider.
My mother can think I'm leaning disturbingly towards alliopathic medicine all she wants. But I'm not giving up my Tricyclic antidepressants - oh the joy of off label prescriptions. No night terrors and less pain.
I think perhaps I should ask my doctor if my dose should be higher, it's seriously too easy for my levels to lower.

No one's passed by today (or left messages on my voicemail) about the hole in the ceiling of the apartment. I only just realized it's quarter to five and given that this is a friday afternoon, I rather doubt calling now will do much of anything.
Ok. So I just called.
Silly me. I forgot the office closes at 3pm now on Fridays. So yeah, they've BEEN gone. I guess that clears that up. Too tired to feel anything other than relief that I will have two days free of people tromping through my space.
Last night's cold crisis was partially due to my not having taken my meds. But I realized today that the living room is warmer during the day because of the windows. At night they're three heat sinks with duct-tape for weatherproof/stripping and drafty because yeah, no one's put them in properly -still-. I can watch my curtains blow right now.
What is, is. I just need to get through it right now. And maybe, if at all possible, get through it to july.

So I finished the last little bit of the Carnival post itself. Now to write the article I'd planned to write for it. To those on you on my flist who follow the carnival, I'm sorry my recent troubles shifted me off getting it out in time for MLK Day. But it's coming.
