The ice has melted, yay! Ok, mostly. There’s some spots on the road that are pretty bad, but that’s because they’re in the shade. Mom was freaking out the whole way to her house because of a few patches of ice. 😅
Went to the parents and had a nice dinner of Firehouse Subs and watched YouTube videos for a while before I went home.
Today is go out with Karen and have some fun day. Thank god. Bobbie comes Wednesday, I hope. She’s coming at 9:30am 😵💫 TOO EARLY. I’m gonna talk to her about doing later times because that fucks up my sleep schedule. Also I want Bobbie to take me to Eccentric Lion and/or the place in Hickory and inquire about a bridge piercing. Tattoo places don’t open until about 11, usually. I want to have some time. Depending on the cost, I might get one that day. I dunno. I got my snakebites done in Asheville, automatically more expensive because it’s a big city, for about $70, and that’s two piercings so in tiny little Valdese just one should be significantly cheaper. Morganton doesn’t have any good tattoo/piercing places, everything looks unsanitary. I went in several and walked right back out. The one I really like is in Hickory, and I can’t remember the name of it 😑 I’ve never been to Eccentric Lion so I’m going to scope out its cleanliness. I am not getting an infection.
I don’t really like going into tattoo shops because I no longer have any facial piercings (they grew together overnight because I had to take them out for a medical procedure…dammit) nor do I have any of my planned tattoos yet. My skin is unmarked, except for my fugly permanent makeup. I feel like everyone is looking at me like “why are you in here?” lol
I am getting an in-person appointment with my psychiatrist to ask what to do about the Provigil, if I should change to another in that family of drugs, or maybe try 150mg instead of 200. Maybe 200 was simply too much for my body to handle. I’ve gone back to 100 in the last few days and it’s been depressing. I just woke up from a four hour nap. I slept from 8pm to midnight. I could not keep my eyes open. I have to nap a ridiculous amount of time when I get home every day again. The only thing 100mg does is keep me from nodding off when I’m out or in the car. That’s better than nothing, but I wanna be NORMAL 😓
