(It probably wasn't whooping cough. But it's fun to say!)
So is pertussis.
Slap my hand now!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I want a new duck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like any of my drugs, because they fuck with my brain. I only want to make the pain go away. Being able to function was kinda my point, but I end up going late at night because I'll settle for being able to sleep.

Heh. Snagged from Salon, here's a snippet of a Tony Snow op-ed regarding Exeuctive Privilege during the Ken Starr investigations:
Tony Snow - Op-Ed - Dallas Morning News, March 29, 1998 :
(HEADLINE: "Executive Privilege is a Dodge")
Please, for the love of all that's holy, some reporter bring that up in the gaggle tomorrow! Please. With sugar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse needs a new drug. One that won't make her sleep all day.
I wouldn't mind sleeping all day, actually. I'm looking to avoid the dry mouth and red eyes, though.

My only experiences with heavy legal drugs was the valium they gave me fro my wisdom teeth extraction. It was fun. Afterwards, it was just Tylenol 3s (the one with codeine) which are pretty boring. I just find they don't really prescribe the heavy painkillers here unless absolutely necessary.

Anyone watch the SpaceX webcast? They made another attempt and launched successfully. But they lost telemetry during the second stage burn. Oddly enough, I predicted it would fail during the second stage burn. Just like how I predicted the first one would blow up.
It was weird - on the spacecraft camera view everything seemed to be going fine, when suddenly the spacecraft went into a wobble. You could see the second stage engine pivoting around as it fought the wobble, but the wobble continued for the last 30 or so seconds before they lost contact.

Now some are saying it did reach orbit.

What is even happening?
Yeah, you really were, now that I look back. But the right ones can really fix so much without, well, whatever it was you used to be afraid of. So worth it -- especially when they get you to where you don't need it all the timeI hope so. I still don't know if the SSRI is working or not, because this time of year is always better for me, anyhow. I do know the 20mg dose was worse than no SSRI at all. I was constantly panicked with a bonus of dizzy. I've done 5mg/day for a week, and now I'm on my 4th day of 10mg, which supposedly isn't considered a therapeutic dose. I'm in no hurry to up it to 20 and may coast here for a while and see if, since I'm not depressed anyhow, it's enough to do the trick with the anxiety. If it's not, I have my true love Ativan, just waiting for me.
I used to do this, although not with Ativan. I'm glad that you haven't felt the need for it, Cindy, and just as glad that you have it for when you do.
Thank you, libkitty. I can't take it all the time (or I totally would).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
COBRA is a hateful thing.
Also, they can testify, but they won't be under oath? What is that, license to lie?
Drugs. When I had the last foot surgery, I remember waking in the middle of it, looking up at the anesthesiologist, and saying "You know I'm awake, right?" He said, "Yeah, you've been awake the whole time." Apparently I wouldn't shut up. Then I heard the surgeon, my foot doctor, cursing at the pin he'd gone in to remove from my foot bone. He'd told me it was unnecessary, it wouldn't hurt me, and I'd said, it feels weird, I want it out. So he indulged me, and now here he was, calling for the "Roto-Rooter" to get the thing out. I'm pretty sure he called it that just because he knew I was awake. I said, "Doc, I told you it was fucked up in there." He said, "I'm cutting your foot off!" Later he gave me the pin to keep. It was all gnarly with bone grown around it. Looked like he'd had to drill it out of there.
Drugs, right? Valium. That's my OTD. Nothing else calms me down, or gets me to actually relax and sleep, or stops my back pain. Much less of that than used ot be, though. I'm so glad I finally have a doctor who trusts me enough to write me a script for Valium. I don't need it all the time, but nothing else works when I do.
I will shut up now, before I start to sound like a junkie.
