zip zap ... zop?
So, as you may have gleaned from a previous post, I am weaning off my anti-depressant. I've been completely off of it now for only a few days. This morning I woke up and got ready like normal - but felt REALLY weird. Like, everything i do, seems kind of like someone else is doing it. And I may be experiencing these. Although, the symptoms don't sound QUITE right, there is definitely SOMETHING off-kilter in my head. Like, when I move, there is a surge that goes through my whole body. Not exactly "electric" feeling or "zap-like," but more like .... umm ... definitely unexplainable. But I guess I'll never know since "they defy description for anyone who has not experienced them." So, yeah.
It's a little scary. But at the same time, kind of cool.

marriage tip #14
Do not say this to your PMSing wife while she is weaning off her anti-depressants:
"Why can't you be like a normal wife; and when I say I want you to make me a sandwich, you just say: 'oh, he must really want a sandwich, I'll go make him a sandwich' and then go make me a sandwich?"

little things i can't stand
You know what I really can't stand?
Before I got engaged (and subsequently married) i never really wore rings. In high school I wore some occasionally, but nothing really consistently. I have been married for one and a half years now and I still hate wearing these rings - not because of what they stand for, obviously, but because they are so darn uncomfortable! And one of the main reasons they are so uncomfortable is that they are just kind of a trap around my finger! (What an appropriate feeling huh?) Normally, when I wash my hands I dry them thoroughly, dragging the paper towel down into each little finger-pit until there is no, or very little moisture left. But, under the rings! There is an elusive spot to dry! Every time I wash my hands and dry them, a few minutes later I have to pull my rings out of the way and work to dry there. It is SO annoying!

dry as a bone....
So, in honor of 'Leozinga' new years, a fun time had by all, and the excesses that manifested themselves... I think I will try a little something different. I think I'll spend the month of January dry. That is, as in no alcohol. So, no wine, no beloved vodka cranberry ginger ales, no long island iced teas or summery mohitos etc.
It's not that I overindulged to a terrible extent, but I can feel my body slugging away begging for health! I think my body just needs a break from poisons. Technically it needs a break from large amounts of fat and calories too, but I suck at controlling things like that. Alcohol though, I can control. And so, those empty calories will not be entering my body.
It will be hard I think, but not impossible. There is something different about not being ABLE to drink (because of something like allergy or pregnancy) versus CHOOSING to not drink.
That's my January goal. And now that I've written it, it will be much harder to maintain (with people knowing and all...). So, wish me luck. And, hopefully, I'll see you on the other side!
