"You're wearing me down, whoa, whoa"

I feel like a zombie this week. I’ve been taking half-doses of anti-histamines (a.k.a. sleeping pills) every 4 hours during the day and then doubling the doses at night meaning that I have been artificially tired all the time. I have this area of red itchy raised skin on the top of my right hand from where I was helping my mom garden at her old house and I apparently brushed up with some plant I’m allergic to. These Benadryl pills and creams are helping but it’s still irritated and the pills have knocked me off my sleep schedule hardcore and in general just totally put me out of whack this week.

I’ve been chugging coffee like it’s water. Injecting myself with caffeine is all I can do to get me through without waking up with the keyboard imprinted on my forehead. It feels like I’m in finals lately. Like I should just bring a blanket so I can curl up asleep under my desk at night and then wake up zombified and start working again. Usually caffeine and I have this kind of deal worked out where I agree not to drink it too often and it agrees to always give me maximum alertedness whenever it does happen to come into consumption. Well, fuck that bargin. A cup of coffee is barely helping me make it through the hour anymore.

I hardcore burned a pot of beans and then exploded the kitchen sink yesterday. I left my cell phone at home this morning because I was all spaced out. My room smells like paint fumes and gives me headaches if I’m in there for too long so I’m sleeping on the couch (which I might add is probably not contributing to my sleep issues this week in a positive fashion).

So I'm feeling kind of loopy lately but then I had a very nice lunch with an office friend and that somehow made it a lot better.
