Excessive

It's Saturday afternoon, and I just cut my hair, trimmed my beard and had a shower to wash it all away. Now I'm sitting, watching Star Trek: TNG. The episode Frame of Mind from Season 6. I've always enjoyed this episode, as psychological thrillers almost always appeal to me and this episode is quite well done.

I've been meaning to write more often (as I always state) but most of my free time has just been spent working on the website itself, rather than writing anything. I keep coming up with interesting ideas that may make the website cool, and I'm also eliminating items on my to do list (and also coming up with more).

Bekki is actually working on school project to try and increase my writing through behavioural modification. I think it'll work because I want to increase it, but I always either forget or push other things in front of it (like TV, reading, etc).

I woke up this morning early... earlier than I would've liked. I've been having problems with sleep lately, ever since I've started taking medication for anxiety. The pills cause different side-effects based on the time of day I take them, and through different amounts of experimentation, taking them before bed results in the most bearable side-effects, but the side-effects are still tough to deal with. They can sometimes cause me to wake up in the middle of the night, completely wide awake. Even if I don't wake up, and sleep straight until 6am, I start getting drowsy with super scratchy eyes, around noon. By the time I have to drive home (4pm), I'm really tired. On top of those garaunteed side-effects, I've also felt like the frequency in which I get severe migraines, especially in the middle of the night has gone up, with the level of pain and discomfort growing much higher than ever experienced. 

As I was saying, I woke up early this morning, had a wonderful breakfast of coffee and an herb and cheddar bagel with cream cheese. I read twitter and various other websites but couldn't shake this anxiety I was feeling, so I went and programmed downstairs while watching a couple episodes of Star Trek: TNG before heading back to bed to try to get at least another hour of sleep.

Once up for good, I had some oatbran, as I was still hungry. I made vegetable soup, made some grilled cheese for lunch to eat with the soup.

A guy is coming to inspect our rented hot water heater, just because it hasn't been inspected since 2003 or something, so I better go!
