Washington - Day One

I hopped in Hannah's car and bummed a ride back up to Port Orchard with her today. We left at the buttcrack of dawn and made great time.
We stopped in Centralia and zipped through the Nike Clearance Store. Hannah got herself a cute sweatshirt and Dan a nice pair of board shorts. While shopping at Nike, mom called and informed me that I forgot my tote bag, which had my bras, my makeup, my sweaters and all my jewelry in it. Shoot dang. This sucks! So we swung into Target once we made it to Port Orchard to pick up an inexpensive bra. Let me tell you, cheap bras are not comfortable.
We got back to the house and reunited with the one and only, Charlie. He was pretty darn excited to see Hannah and I. I was reminded just how cute my nephew was when we took him down to Manchester for a quick swim.
We came back to the house and got all cleaned up and ready for dinner. We went to pick up Dan from the shipyard and then headed down the road to a local pub for wing Wednesday with some friends. Dinner was pretty darn good, nice and messy as always!
We just kicked back on the couch and watched some tv after dinner. It was a nice chill evening, perfect for me after being go go go all day.
I've crawled into bed and am pretty darn exhausted. I am still having quite a few side effects from either my ECT treatments, my new medicines, or both. I still had some dizziness this evening but it seemed to be a little better than the previous days. My vision is still hard to focus. Trying to read things on my phone is hard, the text bounces and it's hard to focus. Then I get a headache, probably from the strain in my brain. I hope the side effects slowly disappear. As of right now, I'm not even comfortable driving... Which leaves me very dependent on other people.
As for my memory, I think it is improving slowly, but there's still a lot I don't know or remember. I'm not sure what will come back and what won't. Only time will tell I guess.
Well I'm going to try to get rid of this headache by getting a good nights rest so I can have a good day tomorrow!
