One Week on Meds

Today marks one week of being back on my meds.  Although I am doing better, I can't yet say that I feel happy, or that I have a sense of well-being.  I guess the best way to describe what I'm feeling is a low-level sense of frustration / irritation, even anger.  If I dwelt on these feelings, I would be have a very short fuse.  My reactions to things would be way out of proportion. 

It is also harder for me to focus.  Like yesterday, when I lost track of my count two times on the same box.  I was counting out 300 census forms per box.  The forms were clipped together in groups of approximately 25.  I set aside 7 groups at at time.   From six groups, I counted out 5 forms 5 times.   I took from the 7th as needed to make up 25 in each of the other 6.  I did that process twice to make 300 forms.  It couldn't have been much simpler.  Get six groups to count.  Use a 7th to supply extra forms as needed to make 25 in a group.  Count each group in 5 sets of 5.  Unfold each group and put in the box.  Do the whole process again, and you have 300 forms.  But I lost count twice on one box.  I started unfolding the 7th set and adding it to the box.  Unfortunately, this was on the second round, not the first, so I had more than 300 forms in the box.  I took them out, started counting again, and I lost count again. 

Well, time to go.  Let's see how many hours I'll get at work today....
