I can drink a lot less with the same effect?
I am writing this journal entry as I sit taking my morning poo. People who come over usually question why I have a notebook computer in the washroom, well it is for reasons like this. I am here doing my business and it is nice to have something to do. Usually I will read tech news (something like http://www.wxpnews.com or http://www.w7news.net) or I will create some invoices or just something productive. It's called multitasking, being efficient with my time!
Lactose and Alcohol Intolerant
I was just talking to Amanda who read the first entry and happens to be on the same pill. She was filling me in on side effects and all that kind of thing. One of them she mentioned was that it will take a lot less to get drunk. I should have thought of this much sooner is all that I thought when told that. For $39 a month I can cut back significantly on the booze? At $6 a pint, if my alcohol tolerance saves me 6.5 pints a month while still having the same drunk effect then it is definitely worth it. The other thing she mentioned was that Shoppers Drug Mart will probably be cheaper for the pills than Yonge Pharmacy which was right next to my doctor's office, so I guess I will have new pint calculations for next month.
Working Hard or Working Long
Today I was going to have a productive day. I had plans to do laundry, a little grocery shopping, hair cut, maybe hit Home Depot and pick up a few things for around the house (like a gnat killer). I was booked to take over a casting session at 3:00pm, so I figured I had plenty of time. I woke up early (not by choice, but more because I still can't sleep well) and took the morning slowly because I had plenty of time. Then I get the txt asking if I can come in at 11:30am instead. I of course accepted. It is an extra few hours of money in my pocket that I didn't think I would be making, and it puts off my excessive spending habits for another day. It almost started off sounding like I was complaining about the earlier time, but rest assured I am happy about it. I am one of those people that love my job and any extra hours that I get make me happy (of course the extra money is nothing to scoff at either, but I actually like the job no matter what the pay).
Day One Effects
On the pill front, so far I have not experienced anything different. No side effects, nor any change in my mentality. It might be a more gradual change than I am imagining, so I don't even know if I will notice a change at all or if it will just happen. Almost like the way that if you see someone everyday you don't notice the regular changes, but if you see someone after a couple months all the changes are very apparent. I was told by Amanda that one of the earlier side effects is drowsiness, that one will be a hard one to detect with the insomnia I already have. Since yesterday I took the pill later in the day, I think that I am going to do a lunch time dosage instead of morning which was suggested. Even without the insomnia I don't keep normal hours that others do, so it is probably not a bad thing to move the medication up a few hours too.
I have to hop in the shower and head in to the studio now though, so that is the end of this entry. Ah, to be back on the LiveJournal!
