I'm going home now. When I get there, I'm going to toss some chicken in the crock pot and then I'm gonna nap until it's done, and it's gonna be awesome.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

New Sudafed is a weaker formulation. If you think it isn't working, it isn't.
It's a totally different drug, one which is not as effective: [link] (link actually goes to a publication that my company produces).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I always forget to pickup my ILLs, but since the LAPL charges me for missed ones, I feel less guilty. Still feel stupid, but that's a whole different vibe.

This is SO good to know.
When I had a flu-like thing last winter, I reluctantly took Sudafed because I just couldn't stand it anymore. It had zero effect, which led me to a paranoid place about how having had mono the year before destroyed my body's ability to cope with such things. Good. To. Know.
The one thing that really DID work for me was Robitussin Honey. Very simple. Only two ingredients. Worked a treat and I didn't feel even worse for having taken it.

The back-alley Sudafed has pseudoephedrine, which can apparently be used to make crank.
The "new" Sudafed is called Sudafed PE, and has phenylephrine. Avoid it like the plague. The "PE" means "Pretends to be Effective." (Okay, not really. I think it's just meant to indicate that it's the phenylephrine version.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So today has been busy. I'm just now getting down to eating lunch. But on the plus side, I went to a good talk on teaching and Web 2.0.
And even better, I just got a nice pat on the back. One of my former students who is now at Keck Med School and making a bit of a name for himself just complimented me (behind my back even!) to both my boss and the new dean. Said my class was the best one he took as an undergraduate.
AND I just found out my kitty is doing okay. Now I need to pick her up soon.

I'm lucky enough to not be able to tell the difference. Well, not true, the new formula makes me a bit dopey, but it still works so I'm okay with it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I find it annoying that the pharmacy is so careful about my medications - none of them is in the least bit fun (no, really) and I just can't imagine there being much demand for them except for the intended purpose. I know you need to take them with a doctor monitoring things, but it would be nice if I didn't have to get new prescriptions when the old one runs out. One of them, the doctor gave me 99 refills ... which is really convenient.
