I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I want my blue Sudafed, damnit. A trip to Target seems to be in order.

Is it still possible to buy the good Sudafed in drugstores, or have they just stopped making the stuff with pseudoephedrine?

You can get it; you just need to get it from either (a) the pharmacy or (b) the checkout counter, depending on which store you use. Often, they'll have coupons near the pseudo-pseudoephedrine for the good stuff. Oh, and I think they make you give a name and address (or at least show ID).

Something else I got recently I had to get at the front counter. I think it was OTC Prilosec. Not sure why that is restricted in any way.

This is my first day without DayQuil in almost a week. I hope the phlegm recedes a bit before I have to get on a plane on Thursday.

I've been unable to find the non-drying aqua liquigels. Which means I'm pretty much screwed. I tried a few other things and they only made things worse.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The last time I bought Claratin-D, the pharmacy also had me sign a logsheet with my name, driver's license #, and the date and time I bought it. (Apparently the thinking is that no meth addict would have the patience to fill out the entire line.)

Plus you can only buy one package at a time, even at the same Walgreen's that lets me walk out with a box of 100 syringes no questions asked.

Speaking of stupid things, Perkins the cat is spending the day at the vet's today, getting stitches, and possibly more.

Again.

I keep wondering when someone is going to think I abuse him.

Those were the best, weren't they? Stupid meth-heads.

Good lord, what'd he do?

I really dislike current policy. When my sinuses are trying to kill me, I can't decide who to go bash in the head: meth makers, politicians or big pharma.

Art Crawl!!!

Timelies everyone!

I totally think that a nine-year-old should know better than to shoot animals with slingshots AND to not climb into enclosures with unfamiliar animals even if they're NOT crocodiles. I would imagine that most 9 year olds would know that crocs are dangerous.

BTW, I just discovered that my one of the heaters in my apartment is set up so that I cannot turn it off. Isn't that special? Anyone in the general northern Illinois area can now imagine the temperature of my apartment when I come home after being away all day.

I have a perhaps stupid question... Is meth any different from the amphetamines (speed) we learned about in Health class in the 80's? And if so, why is their such a resurgence. And why does it make people have bad teeth?

From what I can tell, he decided that the flower vase on the counter was evil, and needed to be destroyed, and then examined and walked through.
