Actually, I’m mostly drained from my first visit with a new therapist. Going all over stuff and recapping history and all that rot is something that really sucks all the energy out of you. That and the fact that it’s raining. Again. Ugh. Good thing, though, this doc has ADD himself, and has a child who has it, so he’s got a good handle on my perspective on things.

I did manage to hit the library, drop off jPod, pick up a map so I can give directions for tomorrow night’s Meetup, then get some stuff at the StopNShop (hate that store almost as much as Pathmark, but. . .) and then around the corner to the health food store. I’m on the fourth load of laundry, and while the laundry room has not been completely organized as a laundry room/office yet, at least it’s looking a bit better. I need just a bit more incentive.

OK, I guess in addition to smelling coolant, I’m a bit oversensitive to smells in general. Yesterday we were in the middle school auditorium for an orientation, and a woman came in and sat near me, and her body odor was overwhelming. To me, at least. I looked around, and it did seem like I was the only one gagging. Oh, well. It was only an hour.

The coolant smell is a bit less this morning, and the air duct cleaning seems to have worked wonders – only one big sneeze so far. Woohoo!

And the anti-allergen filters are in. I have no way of smelling if there’s a difference, because over the last few days I’ve been overwhelmed by the smell of car air conditioner coolant. The smell is not real, olfactory hallucinations are another symptom of paxil withdrawal. However, if I wake up in the morning and don’t sneeze my brains out, then clearly things are better.

I went to the health food store for vitamins. I did laundry. I played Sims 2, chatted for about a half hour. Not much of any value has been accomplished here today, but that’s OK.
