e-238's Notizen, 26 Mai 15

I was afraid to get on the scale this week because I have been binge eating on ice cream and bread products. I know better I do.

I want to move and exercise more but I need to find the right time to do it because it is so humid and muggy here. So I'm going to concentrate more on picking better foods and when I do want a treat to have only a _small_ portion instead of the whole thing.

My medication is another issue which I need to discuss with my GP tomorrow on the phone. It's an old antidepressant (amitriptyline)being used for off-label insomnia treatment. 75mg a night before bed and it allows me to actually fall asleep and wake up feeling much more rested than I have in the last 5 or 6 years. That is something really important to me.

The downside to that is that I am suffering major dry mouth. Not a small amount, but like I have stuffed my mouth with a bunch of cottonballs and am trying to speak around it. It sucks. But i don't want to be able to give up the sleep. I'm drinking water as per usual but now I have to drink even more as a way to deal with the dry mouth. I don't know what to think...yes I am happy to drink water but now it is becoming excessive IMO.

I'll see what the doctor says tomorrow. Maybe she'll want me to try a different med? who knows.

In other news: Electra and Harley need to go to the vet tomorrow for their rabies shots. (we get bats and rather safe than sorry). Max is doing ok and wonder of wonders having Jess now able to roam the house seems to have helped Electra's anxiety--she's starting to let her belly fur grow back in now. Yay, less stress grooming!
