I upped my dose of Zoloft to 50 mg this morning and am waiting to see how that affects me. It’s been a couple of hours, and mostly, I’m tired and unfocused. I’ve been trying to write this for over an hour and keep getting distracted. I just can’t tell if that’s the Zoloft or not.

If it weren’t Thursday, I’d probably have gone back to bed, but the cleaning lady will come soon, and I need to eat lunch before she comes. Maybe I can lie down while she’s here… Cordelia has an after school meeting, so she won’t be taking over our bedroom.

I’m a bit annoyed with Scott. I’m out of the tea I drink in the mornings, and I asked him to pick some up on his way home last night. He was adamant that he’d bought some when he did the groceries last weekend. I told him that, since I’m not going to stop drinking it and couldn’t find the box he bought, he should buy more. He had to stop for bread and yogurt anyway, so I wasn’t asking him to go out of his way. He was so sure he’d bought the stuff that he didn’t bother getting more, and neither of us can find the box that he— maybe— bought on Saturday. I have other black teas, so I had one of those this morning, but I’d rather have had something else.

We had a game session last night. We’re still focused on trying to do first contact work. Scott is hoping for something else to come up soon which is not unreasonable. There’s only so far we can go with just one plotline, especially one that’s going to advance by tiny increments. My character is fully engaged, but she’s the only one really designed for this sort of story.

I’m looking at all of my current WIP and not wanting to pick any of them up right now. Sadly, that probably means I need to work on something else entirely for a while, thus ending up with still another WIP. (I also kind of suspect that my current disinterest has more to do with being tired and spaced out than with anything else, and a new story won’t help with that at all.)

Cordelia’s teachers aren’t doing actual parent-teacher conferences this year. They’re having a three hour open house sort of thing with the idea that parents can drop in at any point during that window to talk. I know that this sort of thing is likely what we’d have gotten the last couple of years at a big middle school, but I really liked having that ten minute appointment that was ours exclusively with the teachers having Cordelia’s records and such on hand specifically.

There isn’t actually anything we expect to need privacy to discuss. Cordelia’s very good at school related stuff and doesn’t get into any trouble or anything (We are so hugely lucky!). I would have liked to ask for some input on high school options for her since we’ll have to decide by the end of the year. Of course, I have no idea if these teachers have a good feel for the local high school options.

Cordelia ended up putting the new shower curtain up yesterday. I knew there was no way I could do it, and she wanted to shower. She was dubious about doing it because she never had, but I explained the process to her, and she got it done.

Hm. I made a list of my various WIP and of those plot bunnies that are more than just vague 'yeah, that might be interesting some day' things. There are eight things I haven’t started yet, four of them sequels. There are five things that are certain to be extremely long (hundreds rather than tens of thousands of words). Then there are about eight things that I don’t want to work on right this moment but that are already started and, at least in theory, finishable.

I’m putting the don’t wanna stuff down to the change in Zoloft dosage, mostly. I’m not sure why, if 25 mg a day kept me awake, 50 mg a day should make me want to do nothing but sleep, but that seems to be the way it’s going.

I’ve also got about a dozen different things that I want to have watched but don’t actually want to, you know, watch. I’ve got three Netflix DVDs and two library DVDs plus a library DVD lecture series (4 DVDs) and the second season of Star Wars: Rebels from the library. I really want to watch the rest of Rebels, but Scott and Cordelia want to see it, too. They just keep giving it very low priority. The set is due Sunday and can’t be renewed, and we’ve still got eight and a half episodes to go. Given that they want to watch Agents of SHIELD tonight and that Cordelia will be out tomorrow evening, I don’t think we’re going to get through them. It would take two or three months to cycle back through the waitlist again.
