So Friday was the most insaen day at work yet. I was really stressed. I decided to combat it by staying three hours late and catching up on everything. That helped. To add to my horrific day Friday my mother calls and tells me she was taken to the hospiutal the night before after a lot of vomiting and .,.get this ..amnesia! Yeah it's a strange kind o stress-induced amnesia called Transient Global Amnesia Click here for more info. She is okay now, but still- very weird! Friday night got better because my honey and his daughter came to the city and my friend Christina met up with us for pizza (uughhh, im so bad). It was good to catch up with my friend and I was happy to see Wes and HL. Once home though we were all very tired. Saturday morning I got woke up around 7am by sleep train asking if they can come early at 8am. They were scheduled to come between 9 and 1 to set up my new bed rails. I agreed thinking, its better than having to wait around. But this required us to get up, move things outr of the way and wait until they showed up at 8:30. After this we had breakfast and went to the bank and the post office to ship off our helmets and moto gear. Later Wes got a call from his roommate. Much to my surprise, and a bit to Wes' surprise, his roomamte said she is moving out! What weird timing, since we were talking about living together. Now Wes doesn't knwo when she will give her official notice and I still have not really had a talk with my roommate yet (I am expecting bad news as she is avoiding the question), but Wes freaked out a little. We discussed our options, and I think Wes could always find someone to sublet his roomate's room for a little while, or indefinitely until we find a place. OR, if it turns out it doesn't make sense for us to live together, we will just stay put for now, or for another year or who knows. But anyway, that made things a little more interesting. Saturday night I left wes home to chill while I went to a friend's birthday party. Tha was fun. I hadn't hung out in the city at night in a long time. I carpooled with a couple friends and got rockstar parking. It was good.
Sunday was a lazier day, with the exception of helping a friend buy a bed at ikea. I got a lot of laundry done and started organizing things for the trip.
I must admit my diet was forgotten yet again and I am a little worried about it. I want so much to get back on track, but the weekends feel hopeless and I have been so tired and stressed lately it's hard to focus.
I really wish Wes was on board with me, because it's way too easy to eat unhealthy around him and get away with it. He will be good, but only if I initiate it and make the choices and lead the way. I can't always be so strong though.

dude, I think I drank up all my points that night.....(hangs head in shame)
Lipitor, a statin (cholesterol lowering) drug, can cause TGA (transient global amnesia). Actually, any of the statin drugs can cause TGA, due to CoQ10 deficiency. Dr Duane Graveline, a former NASA astronaut, experienced TGA and penned two books, most recently - 'Statin Drugs - Side Effects and the Misguided War on Cholesterol'.
Also, Dr Beatrice Golomb of UCSD conducts an ongoing study of those experiencing adverse effects of statin drugs.
So if your Mom is taking any of the statin drugs, that may be the cause for her 'unexplained' TGA.
