heh. the doctor i saw today must have a sense of humor. she prescribed three medications. one has a common side-effect of drowsiness (it’s cough-syrup with codeine). another has a common side-effect of insomnia. ha! now i am stuck in this odd, kinda tired but too restless to settle into bed state. i am sure it’s all psychosomatic. but then i realized, i didn’t go to bed until 1:30 in the morning and i woke up at 4 a.m. to take a shower and then i was up at 6 a.m. for a drink of water and i finally just rolled out of bed at 8 a.m. because i was sick of waiting for the alarm to go off. and she said to get lots of rest. how in the hell can i rest? she’s given me some sort of vaporized speed. the inhaler really bothers me. it makes me feel like a nerd. i hate inhalers. i am a nerd. and you know? if you can’t sleep, your trade off should at least be gobs and gobs of energy. so i could at least be productive and like do dishes or something with all this found time.
