By the time this post goes live, I’ll already have been in my first class for the new semester for 15 minutes. This will be my first 7:45 AM class thanks to years of careful planning now thwarted by the professor I want is a morning person. Thankfully, Jazz is fine with getting us to campus earlier than normal on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; he likes his job and starting earlier means leaving earlier—which makes me happy, too :)
I’m feeling kinda calm this time around. There’s still some flutter over who’ll be there and how things’ll go throughout the day, but I think I’ve finally got a handle on it now. That, or the meds are working ;)
I joke, but yeah, I’m on a daily dose of anti-anxiety medication nowadays. It used to be “as needed” until that started being really often. My doctor and I decided changing meds to something daily would be best to keep me leveled out.
My biggest fear? Diminished sex drive.
Noooooooo!
{ahem} I didn’t need to worry ;)
And it’s good that I’m taking this. I never wanted to have to, but I’m changing my mind. I just feel BETTER. Capital letters and everything. Yes, I was a little poo-poo whiney about “getting older,” but I have a feeling that could’ve been more than a grumble if I wasn’t taking something. So it really is good.
