I know, I am a democrat, but I hate what the protesters are doing out there. I wish they would follow the patterns of Martin Luther King or Mahatma. Lead with respect and show a calm respect. I show my students how civil rights are demonstrated through the Woolworth sit inn or the walk on Selma. I think Trump people and the country would respect our sadness if we acted respectfully.
I can't believe he is adding his family to his transition team. God help us.

Yeah, this just seems to happen, a couple rounds of Democrats, then a couple with the Republicans at the helm.

Beyond that, how are you doing, Meggie?

"Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

How was the play, you are funny.
I am sitting here and it is 846 pm and I am on my third drink. I don't know what I call a drink, it is a splash or more, not a shot. I still have good days and some that could be better. I am assuming the Nal doesn't work. I still take the one pill. I am still getting scribed the one and half. I am storing the extras. I think by next appointment I will just tell the doc it doesn't work. I don't know where to go from here. I most likely should go back to counseling. I don't know, where is the future taking me.... retirement in June, a daughter's wedding in July and then I don't know.
I do know I want to go to Africa, but I don't want to carry a bottle of vodka.

Meggie, what size bottle do you buy and how long does it last you if you drink every day?

It's odd that you have trouble stopping after a couple at home, but if you're out and you have a drink, you don't feel compelled to drink more (did I get that right)?

No, I don't even start when I go out. I always drink soda or water. I buy the big bottle and it takes me about 11 days.

If that's what's referred to as a "handle" or 1.75 liters, then that would be about 3.6 standard drinks per night (think 3.6 12oz beers or 3.6 5oz glasses of wine). About 25 drinks per week. Not a huge amount, but I can see where you'd feel better by giving that routine a break.

From somebody that didn't drink at all in my 40's to 3 and half a day, it is a lot. As stated, I have moved my 7 pm time to 730 to 8 and 830 tonight. Joe, do you think it really makes a difference if I take a whole pill or a half a pill?

I don't know if it would make a difference for you, Meggie. You could try 25mg and see if you start creeping back to the old start time or start drinking more.

How's your blood pressure, btw?
