Medication challenges

After taking apart the aerator on our bathroom faucet and finding slimy gunk everywhere, I no longer can stomach the idea of drinking non-filtered water. I knew our water supply was iffy. The slimy gunk drove it home.

We have a water filter downstairs, but I've yet to find a routine (that I can remember) to take my medications downstairs. For the past few days, I've been very inconsistent in remembering it.

While I was sick, I stopped taking my prescription decongestant at night-time in favour of an over-the-counter decongestant that worked better. Three cheers for Alka-Seltzer fizzies. :^) I decided to see how I do if I don't take it even after the bulk of the cold was over. I have a much harder time waking up in the morning -- the primary reason I took it at night was the easier waking. But, once I can make it awake, I don't really feel all that different. I think this is something I'll try for a bit longer.

I still do not have a new script for the Klonopin. I have thought very seriously about calling the sleep doctor. It seems the times I can get up the courage, it's too late in the day to call. I really should call anyway and leave a message with the nurse. Oddly enough, it's just now that I remember that this is a possibility. That's embarrassing and sad.
