Twelve Hour Rule Worked Again

Taking the Requip at 6:30pm last night worked well for this morning. I wasn't groggy. The dull, plastic coating feeling remains, though. Having sung the praises of taking the Requip early, this evening I didn't remember (bad memory - grrrr) until 10 o'clock. I hate knowing ahead of time that I've blown it and tomorrow will be extra hard.

I slept for two hours after coming home from church. As usual, I didn't wait until after lunch, I just went directly upstairs and to sleep. I awoke rather suddenly when something fell nearby. After that I couldn't go back to sleep because my knees felt funny. They needed to move. RLS symptoms strike again. I got up, still a bit groggy, but it didn't last long.

I was able to spend several hours outside doing some light gardening. My landscaping is a mess. I just haven't the energy to keep up with it, so I'm paying for two years of insufficient maintenance. I've been careful not to overdo it.
