This week has been really good so far! I feel like my social meter for the day isn't quite full enough yet, but I'm hanging out with some friends tonight that I haven't seen in a while, so that should do the trick!

I feel like both a lot and rather little has happened this week. Yesterday and today it's been quite rainy, which is always a real treat for me! And so I got to stay in and read last night, and crochet some, and call a certain guy. :) I've really underrated the pleasure of reading! I should read some more tonight once I get home.

I haven't had too, too much homework this week---actually, I had little enough last night that I finished it all before dinner! I've gotten to crochet some as well, and my hat is coming along seemingly quite well. (It's my first time crocheting something that isn't rectangular---or at least supposed to be!) And I'm finally (mostly) settled into a routine!

Besides that, my Vyvanse is going quite well, and it's finally becoming fall! Actually, I noticed this afternoon that the first leaves had started to collect on the ground. Only a few leaves on the trees have changed colour yet, but fall is coming and I'm excited! I finally get to romanticize college more.

I've been really grateful to be at college this week. I know it sounds weird, but I kind of really love it here! I get to learn so much, live somewhere beautiful and make so many amazing friends! Life's been pretty great this week, and I'm hoping and thinking that tomorrow's going to be a great finale to my school week! I have some fun plans this weekend, but those can wait for another post. :D

And so in the meantime, I hope you're having a great fall (or maybe not fall) day! I know I'm having a great fall week. ^u^

Today's been much better! I started Vyvanse today and it went pretty dang well. The dehydration is still present, but less pronounced, and I think I know how to deal with it better as well, which helps. I did notice the medication messing with my appetite a bit but it wasn't too bad. Having a clear brain made me realize how tired I was, though! I'm going to turn the computer off after I finish this post (and check my e-mail one last time, of course) and watch some YouTube in bed on my iPad, and probably go to bed pretty dang early and get a lot of sleep!!

I also got a heck of a lot done this afternoon. I still had the urge to get distracted every time, but I had the willpower to resist! An unexpected part of my medication journey for ADHD is that it doesn't change the way your brain works fundamentally, it moreso gives you the boost you need to get things done despite it! So it feels like I finally have my sh-t together---a lovely feeling, of course.

In other news, I went to the Wednesday night college student worship at my church tonight... and was the only one to show up besides the minister and the assistant student minister. And even the student was ten or fifteen minutes late. It was nice, though, and gave me something to do with my evening as well!

Just because I realize I haven't done an HRT update or anything in a while: I'm coming up to about a month on HRT and it's going really well! I can feel some changes beginning to happen and I'm really happy about it. :D It might help that I'm also getting into a routine of when I take the medication, so my body can expect it more consistently, etc.

That's all I can think of. Good night everyone!

Well, adderall has been kicking my ass-erall... (hold for laughter). I got prescribed it a couple weeks ago, and I've tried it one day this week and a few days last week. But every time it dehydrates me so much that it has no effect and I have to chug two or three Liquid IVs. And apparently you're only supposed to have one a day because otherwise you can overload on sodium. A sodium overdose is kind of ridiculous, but apparently possible. Anyways, I've had probably two or three hours total out of the four days I've taken Adderall (extended-release, so about 48 hours total of being on the drug) where I've been hydrated well enough to actually do anything. And those hours, I got a lot done! But then before long, I was too dehydrated to do anything more.

So I got prescribed a new med! Generic Vyvanse. I went to Walgreen's the other day, courtesy of my amazing friend and K-pop club vice president Orange who gave me a ride. Except I got there at 1:30, when the pharmacists went on lunch break. So I picked up some photos I'd had developed, and got some Taco Bell, and came back. When I got there again, they told me that they actually didn't have my prescription (apparently "prescription delivered" and "prescription filled" are very different things) and to come back Tuesday, and oh, it's also $250. What?!? I tried running my insurance with them again, but then the pharmacist told me something about a "deductible". What is that?!? And so I had to come back yesterday, although thank God I found a GoodRX code to make it a lot cheaper.

Yesterday was actually really good though! Everything just went my way and I had a whole lot of fun! Today is kind of the opposite though. I didn't get enough sleep; my friend Red, who I was supposed to have another "stitch and bitch" with tonight, cancelled because she's sick; my first class was the one with the English Professor Who Can Bite Me; and I'm just in a bad mood because of all this. I need at least one social activity, even if it's just getting lunch with someone, in order to remain sane and not get weird and lonely. I'm much more extroverted than I used to be, I think---it used to be that I could go all day without seeing many people and be okay. But then, maybe that's because I was so much more uncomfortable in my body then so being uncomfortable was the status quo. I don't know.

And that's it for now. I'm totally exhausted and in class right now but I don't have the mental bandwidth to pay attention right now. *sigh*. Let's hope tomorrow's better---toodles!
