tylikI get a little paranoid about when the propane tank is going to run out. I know I've been getting close for the last week or so, but it kept on not being empty. I've been meaning to make baba ganouj, on the theory that that would almost certainly run it out and I could shift over to the full one. But instead, for the first time since I've been here, I ran out of propane while I was taking my morning shower. Actually, it wasn't that bad. I noticed that the temperature was dropping, so I used the last of the heat to wash the shampoo out of my hair. I guess it was worth doing just so I know it's not that awful. (I had visions of changing the tank, in the rain, wrapped in my bathrobe with a head covered in suds...)
Last week was the first week where I was really starting to get my energy back. Not reliably back, since I still tended to crash at more or less random points, but I was starting to feel more like myself. One of the weird things right now is that the new med I'm on might be making me feel sleepy and spacey. Except that sometimes it doesn't seem to, and when I don't take it I feel tired and spacey and in a lot of pain. And it might really be that I just don't have a lot of physical reserves right now, and it's not the med making me feel sleepy, I'm just that depleted. (There hasn't been a day yet when there wasn't a plausible reason for me feeling that depleted, but I'm also accustomed to being able to push a little more effectively.) To confuse the issue further, absorption of that particular med changes greatly depending on whether I've eaten it on a completely empty or just mostly empty stomach.
So today I've been tired and spacey all day. Is this because my neck is unhappy? Um... hard to say. I'm generally a little creaky, but not in horrible shape. Is it because I took the med on an especially empty stomach? Could be, though I've taken it on an equally empty stomach recently and not had this effect. Is it because I didn't get enough sleep Friday and Saturday nights, and maybe pushed things too much this weekend? I don't think I pushed a lot this weekend, but I didn't get much sleep, and the dark smeary shadows are back under my eyes after almost going away.
I hope this having to be completely pedantic about getting enough rest bit goes away soon. Life will be tedious if I have to keep it up.
