My mother was on "diet pills" for a while when I was a kid ... and one of the girls in college (who had a friend who confiscated the pills and regulated her dosage, since she'd get a little too alert). Later, we just called them "speed".
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
B12 shots were a thing for a while too, may still be.
In the vet field, they are. Although their focus is as much on appetite stimulation as on energy,

I don't know what it was that I complained about to my doctor when I was maybe 18 that resulted in him giving me a B12 shot, but I went home and cleaned all the things because I was speeding. I didn't do it again.

The few times I've had any stimulants they've made me jittery but not any more likely to actually accomplish things, so the drug I want probably doesn't exist. Just as well, I suppose, since I'm not cut out for shady deals in back alleys. Too lazy for illegallity, that's me.

I think I might have decided on a condo to buy. Still working out the details, but I'm pretty sure about it. It's a one-story townhouse (I don't know if it's still called a townhouse if it's just one story, but I don't know a better word for it), and very cute. One thing I'll definitely need to do is have a ramp installed in the garage, but other than that, all the accessibility looks good.

It's a bit further from campus than I'd consider ideal, but I think it's a reasonable distance. I'm going to try driving there after work tomorrow, to see what the traffic is like during rush hour. But I know several other people in my department who live in that neighborhood, so it can't be too bad.

Oooh, the attached garage. I'm so jealous about that!
