I keep thinking "Oh, I'll be back online soon, doing what I always do. I just have to get through this next week, and then everything will settle down and I can go back to writing about inconsequential crap like video games and porn and my cats

RE: the Lunesta misadventure:

Oh my god! O_O D: I am glad you're okay!

I totally agree about the ability to laugh. I am lucky to have it, I think. There's a lot of folks who don't have a twisted, black sense of humor, and I wonder how they get through this crap intact. I really do.

...what dosage of Seroquel are you on? It can be nasty stuff, that's for sure, and it's very good at knocking people the fuck out. (Most of my clients think it's a sleeping pill, and not an antipsychotic/mood stabilizer, and with some of them, it's a loooot easier to just let them keep believing that...)

[naamah_darling]

I take 1/8 of a 200 mg pill, which is 25 mg. I was on 100 for a long time, but I'm working my way off it, because I really hate the way it makes me feel when I'm on a high dose of it. And I hate how it makes it hard to think, even on a low dose. The being able to sleep thing is fantastic and necessary, and I want Seroquel as an option, but having to take it and not having a choice? That sucks.

I'm really sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I also really understand wanting to talk about Something Else when terrible things with family are going down.

I had a medication misadventure the other day, though mine involved generic welbutrin rather than a mood stabilizer. I dropped my pill into a cup of coffee opaque with cream, fished around with a spoon, didn't find it, decided it must have fallen down the drain instead, and took a different pill. Then I drank the coffee. Then I found my partially melted pill stuck to the bottom of the cup. So that day was fun. I'm really glad you're OK, though.

Yay beautiful ponies!

I had something coherent to say in mind when I started typing, but I've been drinking tequila in lieu of taking my nightly mood stabilizers (mixing them is Really Unhealthy) this weekend, so whatever train of thought I started with derailed a while back. I hope you and Sargon do as well as possible with all this crap - i've had my fingers crossed for you.

I'm sorry about your MIL, hon. I wish I knew something to say. I wish I could help.

Also, I have totally done that with medication. I have a couple pills that look identical, and thankfully, they aren't anything that's dangerous if I mix them up, but it sucks for remembering which tiny round white pill I took...

[naamah_darling]

Yeah, I was pleased when the new generic I got for the Wellbutrin was white, because the last generic I took was this awful purple-grey color, and the coating on it tasted like ass and plastic. These ones don't have a taste. Now I'm kind of seeing why the different color would be A Good Thing!

Hey, hon.

My dad died of cancer a little over twelve years ago. It sucks. It's a miserable way to die and a miserable way to lose someone.
You get to a point where the best you can do is hold their hand and give them more morphine, love them to bits and let them know it's okay to go.
Not easy, but you get through it.
(That said, my relationship with my dad was good and fairly uncomplicated. It could be very different for Sargon).
I hope people near you are bringing you lots of freezer-friendly casseroles (and maybe a chest freezer, come to that...), because they make a world of difference.

Re: Everything Else:

Seroquel: O.O
I'm glad you didn't die or have to go to the hospital.
I'm also glad that things are in noticibly different bottles now.
Hot pink duct tape for the win.

Admisssion:
admission that I intend to stick around and bother y'allYAY!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I was going to suggest Lego money too.

[naamah_darling]

If I have time, I'll be getting pics of both ponies today! If not, tomorrow! So there will be pics. I may break it up into two posts, but it'll get posted! I'm keen to show them off, because they turned out so pretty. I am especially proud of Amor Volat, because she's pretty much exactly like I wanted her. I hadn't expected that to look quite as "bad to the bone" as she looks, but I think that's the sassy-ass pose and the leather-black background. Her mane and tail are perfect, though. Could not have done any better on that. And her markings are awesome.

PLAY MONEY! Why I, being a fan of Legos and Plamobil, did not think of that is . . . well . . . a testament to how out of it I've been, probably. That is a fantastic idea about they beads and money thing, though. I like that a lot! :D

[amazon_syren]

Stictly speaking, I didn't think of it either. I put "doll-sized pirate money" into google just to see what came up and, in amongst the hundreds of child-sized coins (stuff for loot bags) I found on Ebay, there were those two things that might actually work. :-)

I'm glad you like the beads idea. :-)

I'm also pretty broke-ass, so I hit up the dollar-store for beads more often than not (they have bone and hematite and yellow jade at my local, which is not a bad thing).

Re: two posts worth of pics: Oh yeah! :-D And a bad-to-the-bone pony is a-okay in my books. :-D Is she the unicorn (iirc) you were working on a while back? Looking forward to seeing them both. :-D
