Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oooh, nap and then read. Yeah.
Right? But I need to do laundry, make a packing list, go to the library (I have the Chernow biography of A. Ham waiting for me, yay!), go to the CVS, go to the grocery store, and get in some exercise.
None of which is going to happen if I keep sitting here.
Hey Gud -- I've been thinking about you, and wonder if you might chat with the folks here: [link] (online or on the phone)
I have not been at all productive but I can't leave because I'm at home anyway. I do, however, have cupcakes. Because my willpower had already been all used up by the time I got to the grocery at 10am.
I went to take a giant pill (prescription Naproxen), and I went through the motions of putting it in my mouth and taking a drink and swallowing, but I literally have no idea if I actually took the pill. It's not on the floor, so I didn't drop it. Did I...think I took it out of the bottle but didn't? No idea. I'm apparently losing the ability to human.
Oy, Dana. The other day, I went into the bathroom to take some advil, poured a cup of water, and.... brushed my teeth. Because that's usually how that routine goes. But it was not what I meant to do! Oh auto-pilot, you are so useful in the morning.

That happens to me not infrequently. And when I try to go back through the steps, well, I've taken pills so often that maybe I'm remembering a different time. So then at that point I just decide to wait until the next dose comes along and take it. (And then I get paranoid and start writing it down after I've taken meds: "Ibuprofen: 1:30 / 7:30 / etc.")
Yeah, I toyed with the idea of taking another pill (or possibly the first pill), but it's not worth it. If I was in more pain, maybe.
I'd be lost without my pill caddy. Even then, I'll look at the empty compartment and not remember taking them, or remember taking them but the compartment's still full and maybe I'm remembering taking them yesterday.
I am continuing to do work and no one at work seems to recognize my great achievement!
I could fall asleep right now if the lights were off.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes forgets whether I've taken a pill immediately after allegedly swallowing it.
