Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I would like to note that generic Zyrtec is the mack daddy at stomping my allergies.

The downside is that it also puts me in a zombie-like state of perpetual sleepiness.

I love reading the craigslist personals (except they kinda depress me too).

I could've posted this one. But I didn't

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to consider it a point of great pride to seldom play the crip card, make deadline with diarrhea, etc. Well, look what I got for it. I'm macha. Nobody cares. (If I had it to do over, it'd be different.) They were supposed to let me play. This America.

Steph, how much does the generic run? We've talked about switching me back, now that it's over-the-counter (my insurance wouldn't pay for it before), but the Zyrtec is too cost-prohibitive for me right now.

In my clusterfuck of a day news, I rock. Due to my searching, I found a company that not only has a contract with Medicare/MassHealth, but they are delivering my new nebulizer at 4:00 today. I don't even have to go pick it up. GO ME! GO THEM!

I was very Jars-like in college. I went to a small private college with accessible professors and I totally did not know how to take advantage of that. I had one prof tell me "I don't see anyway I can pass you in this class" when I turned the last assignment of the semester in and I said something like "Yeah, okay, I have this other exam to take, gotta go." He gave me a D, I failed the other exam. I was actually kind of mad that he had passed me because I really didn't understand the subject.

I don't remember -- I got it at CVS. It's more expensive than generic Claritin is.

I'd bet that you could get it cheaply at Costco or Sam's Club, though.

Go you!

So far today I have put everything in the pantry in boxes, put all of my clothing in boxes, and boxed up all of my CDs. I really need a nap but there's so much more to do.

Tep, Can you try the 12-hour-with-ephedrine-we-need-ID-to-give-it-to-you Zyrtec? I get no sleepiness with that one.

Javachick, I know where all of those cupcake places are, but only ever eat ones from Violet Cakes (of those listed). Though Violet Cakes have the stupidest most inconvenient hours ever. Their cupcakes are lovely.

But Yummy Cupcakes are my fave. My friend Jane turned 81 last friday and I brought her a half dozen. Last year, when she turned 80, they got her 80 cupcakes from Sprinkles. She said that Yummy Cupcakes tasted better.

I think that first I'll try switching the Zyrtec to bedtime.

I'm serious, though -- as the day is wearing on, I'm getting more and more sleepy. I'm about to pass out face first onto my keyboard, which would be bad, because (1) key marks on face = humiliating; (2) drool on keyboard would short out the keyboard worse than spilling a Diet Coke on it; and (3) the THUD! noise as my head hit the keys would surely attract undue attention.
