This post brought to you by the letter S and the number 0

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wurmwyd, here are ten things I like that begin with S.

1. Sushi--and I grow weary of people who have never tried it who say they don't like it.
(Smar, you get a pass on this)
2. Sopranos--greatest mob drama not done by Coppola
3. Simpsons--duh.
4. Scribing--the action of, and my filter which describes my literary exploits.
5. Smoking the reefer. If only it weren't illegal. Then I could talk about it.
6. Sea Monkeys--I know they're brine shrimp, I don't care.
7. Snakes--they are awesome and I wish I still had one.
8. Sharks--scary and also cool, plus they jump high in the air.
9. Sea Spa lotion--with dead sea minerals. The only thing on earth that makes my feet nice and smooth.
10. Santana--Carlos rocks.


I'm supposed to be on this donated prescription plan where they send my meds to me in the mail. Long story short, they haven't. So as of tomorrow I'll be out of meds. Not sure if any or all of you appreciate the significance of going off the meds that are keeping you from going crazy. The thing they pound into your head more than any other is to never EVER go off your meds w/out the docs permission. Plus these meds give me all sorts of allergic and overdose reactions, so if I go off it'll be a while before I can get back up to a full dose. And as per usual, none of this would be happening if I wasn't so poor.
So if I suddenly tell you life isn't worth living, H is a dick, or that all my writing is worthless--please take a moment to remind me that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about because I'm not on my right meds. A person isn't supposed to make any life altering moves while meds are messed up. In the past, I have gotten engaged, broken up relationships, quit jobs, moved, and ended long friendships with people just because I couldn't think properly because my meds weren't right. Going off meds is actually much worse than simply not having the right meds to begin with, although that isn't so good either.
Of course, I hate "needing" the medication. But I bet people feel the same way about insulin. It's a pain in the ass, but if I stay on it, I get better. Then some random paperwork makes it so I can't have my pills and I'm responsible for any crazy thing that happens while my sanity is late in the damn mail. It's a rather helpless and awful predicament, especially now when I can see it coming and can't do a damn thing about it. Seriously, all of you who know me in real life would do well to check in on me over the next week or so.

Put up a new short story last night over at [livejournal.com profile] wednes_writes. It's a zombie thing for an anthology of stories set in fast food restaurants. Hopefully, they'll take it, but you just never know. Nobody seems to want any of my stuff; thankfully I wrote it just for me. Anyway, I could use some input before I edit. Do join up and read it if you haven't already.

Hi there!

You know the funny thing? Find a bunch of middle-aged moms. The kind of parents who are always nagging their kids about trying new things and how they can't possibly claim not to like something they haven't ever tried. Ask them if they like sushi.

Then watch as they wrinkle their noses and say: "Oh my GAWD, I'd never eat that stuff!! It's just disgusting!! I'd probably get sick on it!! Eww!!".

Double points if you get your OWN mom to say this.

*raises hand* I know. I've been screwed around before about meds, and I have two kinds of insurance - I got f**ked around by a new office manager. Withdrawal from an SSRI is hell, it feels like there are bees in your skull. I wish I had extras I could send you - no one should have to go through that.

As I have not talked to my mom in ten years, that would be a neat trick. Maybe I should phone her out of the blue and offer to take her for sushi.

;-]

I'm going to go to the doc on Monday and make them give me something. I should be able to hold it together for one weekend as long as I don't leave the house. But yeah, I'm not looking forward to it.

I know that my pharmacist has given me two or three pills sometimes until I can get to the doc. Do your scrips come through a pharmacy?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-12-15 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I usually get them from the doc as samples. But now I'm supposed to get them direct from the company. Despite what they say, I don't think Gallaxo cares about me as much as they claim.

Love your Ss. Sorry about the meds thing, though. Jeez. Hang in there. Hopefully, you'll only have to make it through the weekend.

Off to read the zombie story now.

Thanks. I found my doc's office number so I'm going to leave him an emerg. message tomorrow. Hopefully he'll call me in something.

I totally understand about the meds...

and I will keep an eye out for the indicators that you have provided.

=)

Infact I just got my meds in the mail two days ago. Wish I could share or something...

*HUGS*
