4:18am on Day Three

I woke up at about quarter to four in the am after getting maybe four and a half to five hours of sleep. I was dead tired when I went to bed at about 11:00 last night and I was hoping I’d sleep through until my alarm went off at 8:00am but no luck. I got up a few minutes ago thinking I’d have some water and take my morning vitamins and some Tylenol. I might take my temperature too as I feel a little feverish. I don’t need to, I am just curious about numbers the way a good Programmer/Analyst is always curious about stats and figures. You know how it is.

I will take my second Paxlovid dose at 8:00am today (hence my 8:00am alarm clock). I’ll take the first dose of the cough suppressant whose name escapes me right now as well. Jen has the same prescription. I made one gastric bypass mistake last night and it probably affected my night’s sleep. I’m taking Tylenol for the fever. I was clear for a final dose of the day at 9:00pm last night, but in order to have a drink and take the meds I needed to stop eating by 8:00pm. I need to wait an hour after eating before I can have a drink. I never want to go to bed with an empty stomach, and I had a drink with the Paxlovid. I finished eight ounces of water at 8:15, waited 15 minutes (I only have to wait 15 minutes after a drink to have something to eat) and started filling up my stomach at 8:30. I didn’t even think of the Tylenol until after 10:00. I tried to wait an hour before going to sleep, but after about 25-30 minutes I was toast and just gave up and let myself conk out. I’ll try to do better tonight… dumbass.

Okay. I am so tired I am having trouble focusing my eyes on the computer screen. I think I am going to go back to bed and see what happens. Welcome to day three, everyone! How exciting!
