Roll the Dice

The Scarlet B Posted on May 31, 2013 by RaeynMay 31, 2013

As my husband was insisting we got my GP to change my Seroquel to XL/XR last time, I decided I’d book in for an appointment. I guess the fates will it, ’cause we managed to get one today (take that, … Continue reading →

Meds Grump (Opinions Welcome!)

The Scarlet B Posted on May 30, 2013 by RaeynMay 30, 2013

Okay, so — this is sort of a grump, sort of a request for opinions! I went to pick up my prescriptions yesterday, and found out something displeasing — my Seroquel prescription was suddenly for normal rather than extended release. … Continue reading →

The Drill

The Scarlet B Posted on May 29, 2013 by RaeynMay 29, 2013

We all know the drill — it’s so much harder to come up with blog fodder when things are going well. And they are, sort of. I was able to handle driving this morning, which sort of fell into my … Continue reading →

Nothing Much Today

The Scarlet B Posted on May 28, 2013 by RaeynMay 28, 2013

I’m still feeling ever so slightly flu-ish… but nearly human. I’m enjoying the silence and calm here at home, though I admit I’m consuming an inordinate amount of sugar water (better known as soda). I’ve not really got a plan … Continue reading →

Side Effects May Vary

The Scarlet B Posted on May 27, 2013 by RaeynAugust 28, 2014

It dawned on me this morning that I might not be just rocking a continued flue/cold — it could be a side effect of the newest member of my drug cartel. According to the leaflet, Zoloft can cause drowsiness, but … Continue reading →

Victoire!

The Scarlet B Posted on May 26, 2013 by RaeynAugust 28, 2014

Child-wrangling went especially well last night. I guess the novelty of me running the bedtime gig enthralled her, seeing how she didn’t stall once. I expected a lot of them, so I started the routine an hour out from bedtime … Continue reading →

Decompression Tiems

The Scarlet B Posted on May 25, 2013 by RaeynAugust 28, 2014

My brain is delightfully blank right now. I’m just sort of kicking back and playing Dragon Age 2, and feeling vaguely relaxed. Well, emphasis on vague — life with a three year old is rarely relaxing. She’s eating her lunch … Continue reading →

On the Benefits of Being the Black Sheep

The Scarlet B Posted on May 24, 2013 by RaeynAugust 28, 2014

My entire life, I have been the black sheep in pretty much every aspect of my life. I’m the only child from my mother’s first marriage (I’ve three siblings by her second husband). We moved all the freaking time, so … Continue reading →

Okay, Not *That* Great (Work is A-Okay By Me!)

The Scarlet B Posted on May 23, 2013 by RaeynAugust 28, 2014

I am a cheerful person — even when Bipolar had me so twisted around I was snapping at everything, I still considered myself a cheerful person. I don’t feel that it’s disingenuous in the slightest — I’m not forcing myself … Continue reading →

Getting There!

The Scarlet B Posted on May 22, 2013 by RaeynMay 22, 2013

Good morningnoon from the homestead. I opted to stay home today ’cause hey, I had work with me, and because I felt like it. I’m sort of glad I did — another sneaky wave of dizziness snuck up on me … Continue reading →
