Yay, smonster!

Yay smonster! I have more often "lost" my phone in my car, forgetting that I had pulled it out of my bag, and then it's either in the middle charging, or left on the seat. Which is one thing if it's in my garage, but another if I've parked it on the street...

Hey, all. Miss me?

I've been sick with killer bug, then two days of horrible migraines as I was JUST feeling better. I have an in-box of doom, as I wasn't even having the fun kind of sick where you stay on the internet all day...bleargh.

Missed y'all!

I've lost my wallet and phone in my cat countless times.

ETA: CAR not CAT, but the typo was too funny to fix.

Eww. Losing things in your cat is GROSS. Or it has very long fur.

I sympathize, Erin--last night I left a thing I was at with friends early because I couldn't handle it anymore, and took some meds and went to bed...and woke up a few hours later puking, and took the heavy duty meds. Oy!

Oh thank god, smonster!

Erin, ugh, so sorry you've been sick. I assume you're feeling a little better now? Tentative yay?

Hee, I've never lost my wallet in a cat, but visitors to my parents' house are in danger of losing their wallets in the dog. And their shoes, purses, gloves...

Nora! Our Facebook friend Abigail is moving to New Orleans!

Yes, I feel mostly better now.

Backlog galore, though.

I've been sick with killer bug, then two days of horrible migraines as I was JUST feeling better.

I sympathize with you, girl. I had 2 days of horrible migraines that were the precursor to the bug. My nose is raw from the blowing.

I've lost my wallet and phone in my cat countless times.

Ha!

I think I have a sinus infection now. My nose is stuffy, my face is puffy. I feel like crap, but not as bad as I did last week.

Someone saw me at work and said "Are you still sick?"

I went to Wal Mart after work and got what I thought was a humidifier but turns out to be a vaporizer. I'm not sure how much of an issue that is, but I'm turned it on and when I go to bed I'll set it up in the bedroom.

My schedule sucks again next week - only 4.5 hours. But I did pick up a shift tomorrow. Hopefully I won't feel worse and have to call in because that would suck for everyone.

YAY job offer, meara! And YAY finding phone, smonster!

Crossing fingers for sj and the house.

Sorry for poor, sick Bitches. Feel better! The thought of Erin losing her wallet in the cat made me giggle, though.

To answer a question from way back, for me, brain zaps are like very intense, brief moments of vertigo accompanied by what I can only describe as a “zap” in my head. It’s sort of like on a TV if you have a loose plug and the power keeps flickering. My brain kind of sputters and does a mini reboot thing every time it happens, and the vertigo feeling that accompanies it is intensely disorienting and unpleasant. You can imagine if your brain keeps doing that all day, your ability to focus or remember much of anything is very limited. The zaps get worse the longer I get away from when I missed the dose.

In addition to brain zaps, I discovered that missing a dose of Pristiq, taking it late, and then taking another one 12 hours later to get back on schedule causes INTENSE muscle cramps in my feet and calves. Holy mother of god has that been painful. I woke poor ND up at 3 in the morning screaming from the pain in my right leg Thursday night. I took a Flexoril last night because I couldn’t take the cramps in my feet anymore. Today has been better, but the spasms in my calves the night before last were so bad that my muscles feel like I worked out way too hard and pulled every muscle in my lower right leg.

So. The moral of the story is that antidepressants are really awesome when you take them correctly and will CUT YOU if you screw up.
