Slept okay, but still have fatigue. Part of that may be because I took a full clonazepam before bed. I might have had one or two air leaks, but nothing major.

I thought I would have to be outside 10 to 15 minutes every day to get sufficient sunlight. But I read that as a fair-skinned person, just a few times a week for less than 10 minutes should be sufficient, especially if I go midday. Given my rolling schedule, I can't always do that, but I'll make a point to get what I can. It helps my mood as well.

“Nothing lasts forever.” “Things change.” I hear these things over and over again throughout my life, and it's true for the most part. But then not everything does change, and yes, there are some things that do last forever. Some people get in bad accidents that leave them forever paralyzed. Others get diseases that ultimately kill them. I wish I had Tom's confidence where my fatigue is concerned, but I don't. I just don't see myself getting better at this point. I am, however, doing everything I can think of to possibly help myself. I'm going to make a point of lowering my carbs and making sure I get the proper vitamins and minerals. I could be low on zinc, which is commonly found in things like pumpkin and sunflower seeds. So I'll make sure I grab some of those in our next Walmart order.

Today's storm is rolling in, and God help me when I get back on nights! If we're gonna have this shit every single day, I'm definitely gonna be screwed. But if I'm gonna be exhausted anyway, I don't know that it makes much difference.

Anyway, CoQ10 is another thing that helps metabolism, but it could also increase the effects of my thyroid medication, and I definitely wouldn't want it working hard enough to give me palpitations and other side effects.

Since my health is up to my insurance company, they decided that if I want the 6 milligrams of Doxepin, we have to pay $215 for it. For some reason, it's more expensive to make them in tablets than in capsule form, and they make 6s in tablets. So I asked Rhonda if 10 milligrams would achieve the same goal, and she called that in for me, so I guess it might if I can stand the side effects.

My feet have gotten better, so it was almost certainly those little black bugs—whatever the fuckers were—and not fungus. So I just wasted money getting fungal cream.

The Crystal Lair golf course came out and it sucks. The graphics are beautiful, but I don't like the course at all.

Also, I made it to Serbia with just under 700 miles to go.
