Seriously, guys. If these symptoms are still this bad at the end of the month, I'm gonna have to stop taking the Mounjaro.

Today the nausea is really bad. And my nose is running like a sieve! And I started feeling like I was getting a UTI so I started taking AZO. I hope I caught it early enough because I've had a UTI a couple of times in my life and it was awful. And I discovered I hate the taste of cranberry juice.

My doctor had told me that my glucose might go up (I heard it as will) when I first start taking Mounjaro and it has. I'm hoping it stabilizes at under 100 soon.

My email has gone back to taking forever to send the email with the pictures of my glucose and blood pressure. My glucose was 124 and my blood pressure was 140 over 74. I'm blaming my high blood pressure on me feeling like I'm gonna puke.

Plans for the weekend:
Laundry and (start) reading Dark Water Book Four: The Quarterlands
What got done:
All of that! Except for the clothes I don't toss in the dryer because they're still not dry

I had fully expected to read the whole book over the weekend but I was out when the link arrived in my inbox and then I had to charge my kindle. And the chapters showing Alex's past are very difficult to read so I have to take a break after reading his part of the story.

I was right that we would learn who the killer is in the first part of the book. And it is someone who was never anywhere near my list of suspects. And the reason? Totally insane and guaranteed to piss Alex off, although the killer claimed they did it to help him.

Now to see George Tyler lose everything he holds dear and suffer the consequences for his actions.

The first three books are available now, with the fourth coming out 9/9. Go here if you want to read them. I highly recommend them if you like MM romance with a huge helping of dystopia and murder mystery.

I was planning on getting back to walking this morning but I took my first dose of Mounjaro Saturday and the side effects have hit me hard. I was feeling fine for most of Saturday and Sunday but after I'd been in bed for nearly an hour, I felt like I was going to puke. So I got up and went to sit on the couch where I promptly feel back asleep. I'm still not fully awake and I've been up for roughly forty minutes.

We'll try again next week. Fingers crossed these side effects don't happen again because they SUUUUUUUCK!

I had a very interesting dream this morning.

I worked in an office building doing something with finance. Despite my desk being where anyone could walk by and see what I was doing, I read lists on a BuzzFeed type website instead of doing any actual work.

At one point I got up to go to the bathroom. The whole place had this cheap looking carpet which I found strange considering the office felt expensive and I was dressed business formal (although I was walking around barefoot?). And when I say the whole place, I'm including the bathroom.

So when you walk into the women's room there was the usual sink/mirror area and then on the other side of a divider wall were four stalls. There were signs on the doors because they had full doors. Two were toilets and the other two were either showers or changing rooms. I didn't pay that much attention because I was headed for a larger area at the back. The 'handicapped' stall. Although it was more like an office with a toilet in it.

The door had the standard push button lock on the handle but then also had this bar thing you could wrap around the handle to prevent the door from being opened by someone who had a key.

Then there was a sink area as soon as you walk in and next to that was the toilet (in a little alcove for some privacy although not much since there was no door). Across from that was a curtain that hid a glass door that lead to a balcony area. A bit further down and the area opened up to an office area complete with desk and bookshelves. There was a metal fire door that lead to a staircase (there was no handle on the other side of the door so if you went out, you could not go back in unless you went down to the ground floor and back up to whichever floor this room was on). And there were more curtains hiding a wall of windows that overlooked the balcony and some frosted windows on the opposite wall that allowed in some natural light.
