Ahhhhh Zopiclone, you crazy card! I just took one, about a half ago, so I'm in trippy mode now. Sigh. I've been trying REALLY hard to ween myself off them. At first I stopped cold turkey, but that didn't work out so well, so I helped myself a lot by having marijuana (in pill form, as I shouldn't be smoking) instead. I actually read that you're not supposed to stop Zopiclone suddenly, so I decided to continue taking it, but only every few nights instead. Overall I think it's working out OK.
Tomorrow evening's going to be VERY exciting, as we are leaving for The Gaspé finally! We'll be celebrating our first anniversary there (I can't believe it's been a year already!) on Sunday. :) We have a bottle of wine from last year (with Mario on it, as it was a video game-themed wedding) and we're bringing it along with us. We're hoping to find a restaurant with a BYOW policy, but worst case scenario, we'll drink it in the hotel. :)
It's supposed to rain all weekend, so I really hope it doesn't...or at least not for too long, anyway. I really, really want to take those boat tours and see Percé Rock and the whales--IDGAF what the weather's like, I just hope they don't cancel tours because of the weather, ya know? I guess there's nothing we can do now except wait and see. Anyway, I am so super excited to get out of town (and to go to a place so beautiful and new to me to boot!), so hopefully all will be well.
I am quite sore at the moment from a Lupron shot I got yesterday. The Lupron shot I got back in March finally ran out and I got my period for the first time last Saturday. I was able to get another shot (after spending several hours in the hospital and seeing a rez, a doctor, and a nurse) and it'll last for a few months again but I can't get any more Lupron after that; they told me it wasn't a long-term solution for stopping my periods. So we're gonna try out an IUD. They're going to call me back for the surgery date (it's MINOR surgery) and then we'll see how that goes. I'm not thrilled at the idea of getting one but I'll do ANYTHING to stop my periods. It might ntot even stop them apparently, as the experience can be different amongst women; some no longer get their period at all, and some just get much lighter ones. Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Just like with cancer! Life in remission can have its scary moments, sometimes seemingy all the time. It's really hard to get used to. I know I'll get used to it eventually, or at least to an extent. Right now I'm still pretty much scared all the time. This I'm sure plays a big role in why I can't sleep at night, so there comes the Zopiclone. And look at that, we've come full circle!
