So before I left for Tulum I forgot to refill my thyroid prescription. I ran out a few days in. When I got home I spaced and forgot to call it in for a couple days and then when I did I realized I didn't have anymore refills. It took a couple days to get that sorted out and my doctor to give me a single refill (blood is required apparently for any more) and then I forgot to pick it up... and, as a result, I haven't take my thyroid meds for a couple weeks. I tried to convince myself that my dependency on them was all mental, that I could wish away the fact that I have hypothyroidism (it's okay OKRGR, you can sit and laugh at me :) ) but, in reality, I've slowly watched as my body and my mental state has regressed into this helpless heap of digestive problems (my stomach is constantly upset), drive to sleep all the time (man I just want to lay in bed all day), irritability (I snapped at the kids for the first time in a long time today), mental sluggishness (not really a good way to have a new job now is it?) and probably weight gain (though I'm trying not to look). This is the longest I've gone without meds in 10 years and it ain't pretty. It sucks though. I hate taking those things and I'm, seriously, just no good at remembering.... I was the same way with birth control pills... anything I have to take everyday, forget it. I picked up my prescription tonight... of course, I can't start it til the morning and I have to go get some blood taken ASAP or they won't refill it and, of course, since I haven't taken it, my blood tests will likely come out all screwed up... what a mess I've worked myself into.

Yesterday we went to a birthday party for one of the little boys who graces us at yoga every now and again. It was at a park and the day looked pristine so I dressed for summer. The boys dad is one a maker of amazing Southern Indian food which he made for the party... traditional Mysore breakfast. It was so yummy.... the soup was out of this world... but it was freezing... I swear my bones were cold and so we didn't stay all that long. I then chose to live it up last night... afterall today was a moonday so I drank nearly an entire bottle of wine by myself and, of course, ate my Charleston Chew. I promptly passed out to find myself woken up this morning by the severe pain in my shoulder as I apparently fell asleep in some odd position with my shoulder externally rotated and lifted.

Today we took the kids to see Curious George. I'm happy to say it's a great kid's movie. Not a kid's movie with all kinds of adult humor but a real kid's movie and it's a good one. I was sooo happy that George doesn't talk, that they didn't go overboard on the animation. The soundtrack (Jack Johnson) is great. The only complaint I had was the product placement in the movie (DOLE bananas, VW cars). The Son, he literally smiled the ENTIRE movie.

Tomorrow, practice. I am sure I will be paying for that wine and candy but I'm mentally motivated nonetheless. If only I didn't have to do those backbends ;)
