WOW. *dances around* Just one good night's sleep (and a cheap-o energy drink hours ago) and I am feeling super awesome, productive and HAPPY.

The doctor cut my Venlafaxin (generic Effexor) back down a notch and prescribed me a sleeping pill. The pill is temporary, it's just supposed to show my body what it's supposed to be doing. I had the first good night's sleep last night that I have had in a very very long time.

I am only supposed to be taking a half a sleeping pill before bed. Which I did that last night and slept from 8 until almost midnight. Which is the longest solid block of sleep I've gotten in recent memory. And when I couldn't get back to sleep I just hopped up and got the other half of the pill. Slept from shortly before 1 until 6. HEAVEN, I TELL YOU! HEAVEN!

I woke up feeling good. SUCH A CHANGE.

Now about the energy drink, I had gotten two just to see a)what effect they have and b) if it could give me enough energy to get the house half way straight. Yesterday, I had the first one. It had no effect AT ALL. It was like I drank a Sprite. So I figured since these were really cheap it just sucked.

This morning I felt good, and thought, you know maybe this will give me a little bump of motivation/energy to get some stuff done because there is so very much to do. Oh. My. God. I cleaned. I folded. I vacuumed. I mopped. I organized. I decorated. I danced like a mad thing. I haven't had that much energy in YEARS.

And you know what? I still feel good. I still have energy. I LOVE EVERYBODY TODAY! WOOOOO! :-D
