today revisited, and yet again

Dammit, I forgot one: the book also mentioned timing the taking of medicines so that they start working in a person’s system closer to difficult times they are needed for, such are working or driving.  I used to take my meds right after I got up.  Once I started taking head pills along with the blood pressure pills, and started taking more of them twice a day, I would try to take them about 12 hours apart, so that the day was evenly split (OCD thing more than likely lol).  So, I would wind up taking them at 6am and 6pm, pretty divided, although evening usually wound up being taken far later. Following that logic, I might have wound up still married if I had diligently kept to that schedule,  since I would have been far calmer when I was dealing with Jim after work.  Even so, I was not taking Strattera at that time for my ADHD, so I would not have thought much clearer, however I might have calmed the impulsiveness down somewhat.  (An aside here:  I have also recently figured out in the last few years that working an hour earlier, coupled with one or two extra hours in the evening, still allows me to devote extra time to work (to stay caught up) and still leaves me time to do my own stuff (like taking dance classes in the evenings as I was doing for awhile this past fall) or working on projects at home.  It relates to what comes next.)  Well anyway, that schedule was much easier when I had less to do in the mornings and more time to do them with  Between getting up earlier in the mornings, feeding cats their cans (which has been their habit for the last 5 years), and taking far more meds and supplements, I’ve taken to waiting until I get to work and taking them then, which usually happens around 7 or 7:30, sometimes even later.  I I don’t take my evening pills until shortly before going to bed, and usually only on Sunday thru Thursday nights; I have always been notorious for not taking my nighttime pills when I didn’t have to keep to a routine, such as going to work or school the next day.  And I damn sure don’t want to get up at 5:30 on a Saturday and do everything that I did the past Friday, just as though I was going to work, just so I keep the same schedule.  Of course, it might help if I put my pills back in my bathroom, however I do not want to swallow all of those pills with just sips of water, yuk.  If I could manage 6am and 6pm again, or 5am and 5pm now, it would more than likely help on the shopping trips with Duv, since I would be a bit better able to bite my tongue when he corrects my driving or points out cops all of the time (another story).
