Hello all!
The pharmacist yesterday said the new medication would make me drowsy--he was right. Hopefully I can get it worked out to where I don't sleep in so late (9:44 a.m. right now, and I've been up since nine).
Took the first dose of the medication earlier today than I did yesterday, so hopefully that will help.
Last night I ran the dishwasher, so today I need to unload and reload it.
Have a great morning/afternoon/evening/etc. in your part of myLot land, and I will "see" you all later!

It’s cold here, so I’m staying in the house all day. Maybe I can get out tomorrow.

I don't remember what you said this medicine is for, but rule of thumb.... if you know drowzyness is a side effect, and you can take the medicine before bed, that's actually better. It doesn't disrupt your natural sleep rythm that way.

The medicine is for angina (not enough oxygen getting to my heart) and normally I would just take it before I go to bed, but I'm supposed to take it more than once a day.

@xstitcher Got it. Well, if the side effects are affecting daily living, you need to talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose or changing meds with fewer side effects.
