Probably the worst pain day I've had in quite a while. The Vicodin* supply is low, so I'm settling for Tylenol. I hardly slept. I have to try to wake up and clear my muddled head. Right now, the pain is a sheet of wet cheesecloth covering my face. I think it's wet with gasoline ( Read more... )

Sorry about the pain. See if you can get some oxycodone and then you can take extra without worrying about the Tylenol damaging your kidneys. Or pure hydrocodone if you can get it.

I hate the acetaminophen which is the chemical in Tylenol that is bad for your organs. Bleh!

I hope you feel better soon.

I like that title. I also like the first paragraph of this post. The dynamics of LJ and such are funny; though I wouldn't recognize you on the street, I think of you often and wish you well.

I can empathize with lost time due to sickness. The short version is that I have a chronic disease; diagnosed at 2 years old, and an unrelated seizure disorder. The medication alone tends to cause drowsiness, which is the bane of my imagination, sincerely, but what do you do really.

As far as using gimmicks go, I think gimmicks can be ok if they are used as a cog within the story and not as a crutch to hold the story up. If coming up with ideas seems to be a problem, for me I find that constant routine in my life causes me to think in routine. This might sound odd, but a solution that breaks me out of this is to go on short walks in parts of town that I almost never see. In fact I sometimes drive a couple of miles away and walk to a favorite location on streets that I rarely if ever see.

For what it's worth...

My thoughts are slowly congealing into subconscious impulses clicking on "Like".
