What a difference a day makes

Today was unlike any day that I have experienced in a VERY long time.  I took my new pill yesterday afternoon and felt great for the rest of the day and night.  I took my sleeping pill last night and slept like a baby.  I got up - went outside in my jammies to let the annoying borrowed dog out - and took my anti-narcoleptic pill.  I then got on with my day, you won't believe what I got done!

I took the kids to school, took the annoying dog for a walk, went home, got ready, got the kids some lunches as I didn't make them last night ( I make lunches 99% of the time, but last night the lunch kits were dirty and I hate making school lunches, so I just didn't), and took the lunch to the kids.  I then went and loaded up on stuff for the garden, bought a new sweater and bathing suit, and a gift for a friend.  Then, I went to the mall, parked at one end, walked very quickly all the way to the other end to get my face wash and stuff that was on sale, added to the gift for my friend, got some t shirts, got some soap and at 2pm, finally sat down to eat lunch.

This is where it gets interesting!  I ordered a normal lunch, some veggies, chicken and noodles and I couldn't even eat half of it!  This has never happened before.  I am NOT kidding.  I almost always clean my plate, if I even remotely like the food, I will finish it.  Today I realized I was full halfway through and I couldn't even take one more bite.  It was really weird.  I'm not sure if the new pills suppress my appetite, I hope they do, but this could just be a fluke.  All I know is that I have never not finished a meal that I liked.  AND...I didn't even want dessert after.

I feel so good, it's amazing.  If this is what it feels like when I am awake, I want to feel like this everyday! It's almost funny that I am taking anti-narcoleptic pills.  Not that I have narcolepsy, or think having it is even remotely funny, but the things they call pills.  The doctor called them an alerting medication, I call them legal speed.  But like I said, I don't feel high or jittery, just awake.  I have been half asleep for so long, I just want to do things.  I want to be outside, I want to go for a walk, I want to talk to my kids, my husband and my friends.  I just don't feel the need to nap.  I am going on 2 days without a nap - I think it may be a record!
