Spinning top.

Have you ever taken antidepressants and have tried coming off them? Even though I was on a low dose the effects, some might saw withdrawal, is just crazy. Serious dizziness, sleep disruption and temperature fluctuations. It may not sound like much but it is terribly debilitating when you have to get things done. It has almost been a week since I took the last pill so hopefully it will subside soon. I could understand many people just deciding to keep taking the drug instead of stopping. Despite reducing the dose over time, I have considered reintroducing a small dose to stop the side effect of stopping. The side effects push the anxiety levels up as well so what is one to do. Stick with it but plan ahead. Fortunately I don't have to go in to an office everyday. So let's see if the top stops spinning soon.

Odd Feeling

Today is my last day as 'the boss' with the new guy starting Monday. From Monday I cut back to part-time for three weeks to allow for a good handover and that's it. The future is then unknown. A nervous step. While I well and truly need a break, and some time to spend on personal pursuits, I will need to have some income before too long. While my partner Ken will be working it is not fair to put that burden on him alone. The trick will be to find some intermittent work until we sell and move north again. Time now for the caffeine hit and off to it.

And it begins something like this!

I was just sitting contemplating my navel, as you do, and found the App for Blogspot. What the heck! Let's give it a go. Currently in the middle of a family reunion and you need your own space. What do you do! You don't want to offend anyone, seem in grateful or even rude. Do you pop off onto a quite room with your headphones; sneak away for a walk and a few minutes of peace. Fortunately in this family you can do any of this without prejudice. In many you cannot. Respecting individuality is vital to a healthy family life. No matter how diverse the family is. Love each other equally and respect a diversity of opinions. Simple principles but but the application can be more difficult. Embrace Life and Live It!
