Well I went to the doctor today. I had to literally drag myself out of bed kicking and screaming lmao! I so didn't want to get up early but I did. yay me!
The weather is yucky, snowing and cold. So it wasn't any fun walking to the bus stop and then waiting for the bus. The bus was running late so I was a few mins late to the doctors office but it didnt seem to matter.
The doctor switched up my meds. She took me off abilify. Doubled my dose of prozac but I take it twice a day now. And she put me on Seroquel XR. She thinks this will help my depression and help me sleep normally now.
I am also supposed to stop taking naps during the day which will be hard at first. I am so tired. But hopefully i can do it.
She also wants me to start walking atleast 4 times a week. Which was my plan anyways even though the turn of weather is going to make that difficult.
Well we will see how this new medication goes. Fingers crossed it works out all my kinks. Now I just have to let the meds work and focus on my diet and exercise!

Busy Morning
I slept through the night again!!! It is a miracle. I fell asleep watching a movie last night at like 9:30, got up at 10 and went straight to bed then woke up alittle after 5:30. Sleeping is awesome :)
I got up at 6am to go lay traps for the feral cats. I have 7 traps this time! But I only set 3 because I need to wait and see if they have room for anymore. I already trapped one. She got in the cage but not in all the way and she was so busy eating I was able to sneak up behind her and snap the trap closed.
Tomorrow I am taking them to another spay clinic. We get them spayed and some shots and flea meds then release them back. If I can catch 7 Ill be pretty much done with this colony. But I doubt I will have that much luck. I have already caught and released 6 cats from here and not alot more make this their permanent home but travel so we will see.
No bike ride this morning though. Way too tired after caring out all those traps. I am exhausted and a sweaty mess ewww. I also really need to invest in bug spray because I am covered in mosquito bites.
I am excited to go help out at the clinic tomorrow. I really love doing it. It is alot of work but so worth it. This will be my third time doing it.
As soon as my DH wakes up we are supposed to go shopping but I doubt that will really happen lol. We didn't go shopping last week so we are in dire need of restocking. I should probably make a quick list.

4am walks....
Sleeping an entire night through has become a dream. I am continuing to wake up at 3am and not being able to fall back to sleep. It really sucks. Today after waking up at 3 I laid in bed until 4 when I finally decided to get up and go for a walk.
Slightly bit weird to walk at 4am lol But it is also really nice because the world is all still asleep and I have the streets to myself. Which means way way less anxiety and almost no panic attacks. Which means I can walk without feeling like I am going to die every step.
I am quite exhausted now though and tired from lack of sleep too. But in a bit I have to go walk down to the store to pick up my prescription.
I had an ah-ha moment earlier when I realized I could set the alarm on my phone to remind me to take my pills lol like duh why didn't I think of that sooner?
I also have been struggling to get outside lately. Having more panic attacks. I think it is because a few days ago my neighbors talked to me. eek! So absurd I know. They are nice but very chatty. They also have a dog, a chi and Trixie is a chi mix and they like each other. But the neighbor asked me if I had lost weight. It was nice. I haven't lost much and I really do not think it is noticeable. But she went on and on about how I look so much better and it looked like I lost 20lbs or more. I wish! lol More like maybe 7-10lbs since she first met me.
But I think even though the conversation went nice, just talking to people threw my anxiety level to crazy and that is why I don't want to go outside...omg I might see them. They might talk to me again. :(
Lots to talk with my therapist about on Wed.
