Dog Walk Fuji

Caught a glimpse of Mt. Fuji during the evening dog walk with Dale and Mary tonight. Wish I had left a little earlier so that I could have got a clearer shot. My iPhone camera is pretty good for low-light conditions where a flash can be used -- not so good for late-evening landscapes.

Pinkish

It was a nice, warm evening tonight. One of my classes was canceled just before sunset. It was a good chance to take Dale for a walk and bring my camera along for the ride. 

I brought only my telephoto lens in hopes that I might get a clear shot of Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was hidden behind clouds, so I took some shots of flowers in bloom in the neighborhood. It was kind of hard to get a sharp focus because I had to step back so far away from the subject. Next time, I need to remember to bring the smaller lens with me.

Pink and Blue

This is a shot of my daily meds minus the morning dosage. Starting today, will start a new regimen at the insistence of my doctor.

The big blue pill will remain the same, but have switched from a once-a-day med to the coral pink one, which requires I take it twice a day. 

The new pink ones are about 30 dollars each! However, they have much fewer side effects like night sweats, diarrhea, and should reduce the number of explicitly vivid dreams I have that cause me to lose sleep or wake up in tears of emotional distraught. 

The doctor said that these new meds should also help me deal better with depression. Am nervous as ever about changing meds. But, all I can do is trust that my doc knows best and follow his advice. 

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that with time, I can return to a more stable place emotionally and mentally. With that achievement, I hope to be able to start running again, work more efficiently and professionally again, and get my life back in order and more stable again.

Burn

Listening to: Burn by Ellie Goulding on Burn (Remix EP)

Taking Dale on her nighttime walk. It's is bloody cold out tonight even though I'm boggled up with four pairs of jogging outfits. At least I have some nice tunes to listen to help my mind to keep off the cold!
