First of all, there was a three-point-something earthquake on the east coast last year in July and the epicenter was WAY closer to my house than last time so for me it was preceded by this horrible sound I'd never heard before but which I associated with like, alien invasion and possessed monster trucks. So I was lying in bed going, "Oh shit, it's ( Read more... )

I feel pretty ooky today, like I am getting or trying to get some sort of cold or flu or something. Sad. BUT! I'm not doing anything so I might as well post to LJ.

My eyesight has improved since I have been taking Adderall. What the hell. I remember when I realized that I would need reading glasses in addition to the glasses I've worn since ( Read more... )

God this has been a bad couple of weeks with regard to being itchy. When I was stung by the wasp over the 4th of July weekend, I took some Benedryl right off (as well as doing the other things one should do) and discovered that Benedryl + Adderall = god this sucks. It's like Adderall turns on some categories of my brain and Benedryl turns off some ( Read more... )

So I was up at five AM this morning, playing Puzzle Quest on my iPhone in bed next to a snoozing TDO. And I became aware of a very loud noise, a rumbling that sounded like an enormous tractor trailer crashing into -- itself? disturbingly nearby. Dax and Lyric, previously snoozing, both picked up their heads and Dax growled tentatively. I didn't ( Read more... )

So yeah, among other things that have changed due to medicating my ADD, I have started wearing my contacts again. I'm just way less averse to things that have a lot of steps. Pre-adderall, it was no contest between putting on glasses vs. putting in contacts. Now it doesn't seem like a hassle. Which is funny since when I took off my glasses and ( Read more... )

Someone pointed out to me that I haven't posted in a while.  I hadn't realized how long it had been ( Read more... )

It's quite difficult to get a urine sample from a well-meaning dog -- Dakota, in this instance -- who is trying to help you out by not enabling your clearly deranged desire to have him pee on your hand (which happens to be holding a container).  Some people don't think dogs are expressive -- they haven't seen the look on Dax's face just now. He's ( Read more... )

Yes, this is truly what we are fighting for.

Is this better than the kid covering "Bad Romance"? Who can say! They are both equally awesome.

Woo, TDO got me an iPhone and it's arriving Monday! I'm glad she didn't wait to surprise me, because I really really like the joy of anticipation and usually feel a little bit cheated by surprises. Last night I spent some quality time surfing and choosing a shiny case for my iPhone, and today I'm going to pre-select wallpaper backgrounds and apps ( Read more... )

Yay! This means I never have to pretend to be TDO's sister or whatever again.
