Well, Hardi and I had a nice talk yesterday, about the amitryptiline (Elavil). He hadn't realized how zombie'd his wife had become.

So we greed to stop the daily use of this as the primary sleep aid. I'll use it on a schedule that works for our combined weekly schedule, which includes two nights per week when he takes an aid for an extra-long, recharging sleep-- because I need to be able to wake up fast and clear to drive if he gets an emerg. call.

Those will be my nights to wake fast but ALSO be able to go back to sleep as needed, post-emergency-- Thursdays and Sundays-- making for deliciously lazy Fridays and Mondays, for me. I should be a lot less draggy the rest of the week.

Monday (or Tuesday, LOL) I hope to post new goals including dissolving the weight I gained while on this daily-- it made me WAY too hungry for the too-sedentary days!!! As I had just spent three years shrinking my stomach AND re-learning to eat when hungry, that too-hungry thing was too confusing!
