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".
It's all about the coat.

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!
