I'm not motivated. The reason is, it turns out, because my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is 5.72. This is high which means my Thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) are low...so I have symptoms of depression. But I am NOT depressed. It is hormonal, so I am talking myself out of this sadness that is inculcating my being. It is persistent and annoying, but I have upped my meds and all will be fine in another month and a half or so.

Blah.

Blah Blah Blah.

In other news, I made it through the darkest night of the year. Only a couple of the last few weeks have been hard. Here's to more sun. I am taking 3 Vit D and Stress B complex consistently this year.  That's great. Perhaps I can get my thyroid balanced AND be taking vitamins....that is my health goal...that and drinking more water. :)

Peace to all.
