Feb 17, 2023

 Regarding the 16: right before going to bed, as I was reading a book of poetry, my hands and fingers holding the book were going numb. I had to keep shifting them and the weight of the book, which is a large one. Also, after napping in the evening, I had a little bit of chest sweat.

I went to sleep at 1:50am and was up again at 3:30, I think because of either dogs or weather. Mild sweat upon awakening. Restless left leg interfered with getting back to sleep but not for long. Up a little after 9am, so about 6hrs of sleep broken on the early end.

Allergies didn't really kick in until I'd been up about an hour, which is unusual. It was a sinusy day until the afternoon. I was very sluggish and wouldn't have gotten out of my nightgown and robe if it weren't for the need to go get the armodafinil subscription. I also wanted to spread seed I had on hand for the outdoor critters. It's supposed to be a very cold night, so I wanted them to have fuel in the morning before I was really up and moving. 

I don't plan to take the armodafinil until next week but I wanted to get it so I'd have it on hand on Monday. I only got one week's worth so as not to waste money if I can't tolerate it for some reason.

I worked a little over 2hrs but again it was very difficult to engage my brain. I did the simplest task on the list but even it was difficult to get started. Once I was in a rhythm with it, I became somewhat more wakeful, but I still wouldn't have gone out afterward (was still in robe) if it weren't for determination to get medication--and I think I only had that determination because it had been so difficult to find a pharmacy to get it from.

Since I was forcing myself to go out after work, I delayed supper and felt nausea. I suspect I need to be drinking more and that it indicates an oncoming bladder infection. That said, I haven't made an effort to drink this evening. Instead, I've been very tired. I dozed a bit while watching videos about armodafinil. I had about an hour of feeling less sleepy but can feel that I'm not up to much more tonight.
