Blergh.

It's 2pm.

I haven't been tracking when I take my evening meds, but they include Mirtazapine, which can make you groggy. I do know I took the Mirtazapine several hours before I went to bed - 11pmish. I went to bed around 2am, which is a problem in itself.

I normally sleep for around 10 hours if left to myself, so if I go to bed at 2am, I'm usually up and about by 12ish.

After deciding to wait today until I actually felt like getting up, and not so groggy I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep, I got up about 10 minutes ago.

I'm still groggy. I could still sleep. Possibly for several more hours.

What the fuck is this.

Health stuff.

I'm finally signed off from work for a month, which means I can claim Employment and Support Allowance. (I really must finish filling in the form, and print it, so I can post it tomorrow.)

I've got a diabetic check-up coming up next week, a urine test which I should get the results of then, and the doctor took the opportunity to take my blood pressure (high for the first time ever) and stick a needle in my arm (so at least I'm protected against flu now).

I also need to get a blood test on October 24th to see if my liver has recovered after a month off statins.

I reckon this gives me a month to fill in my Disability Living Allowance form and more generally get enough rest. Maybe I'll be able to also get some code done - I'd like to take part in the upcoming iteration for Growstuff, and contribute a patch or two for Dreamwidth, too.

Perhaps I'll even feel up to going to the Stitch and Bitch next week (a girl can hope). I am making quite a lot of progress on my First Ever Jumper.
