I didn't take my meds this morning. I'm going to start taking them in the evening right when I get home from work. If I time it right, I should be very sleepy by my bedtime and should sleep through the worst of the side effects.

So far the pattern is thus:

• Take the pill, and then for about 3 hours everything is fine.
• 3 to 4 hours after Pill Time, I begin to get high.
• 6 to 7 hours after Pill Time, I get sleepy (some people get wired at this point, but I start zonking out big time).
• 8 - 9 hours after Pill Time, I feel jittery & nauseous for about 2 - 3 hours (if I force myself to stay awake).

This weekend I did some writing while on the pill, and I have no idea if the writing is gibberish or not. I lost my ability to judge it. So, this may be a big problem, or it may not. I'll just forge ahead and then let someone read it.

This weekend I got bored with Earth and destroyed it, and from the rubble built Valhalla.

Why? Because it amused my daughter.

Okay, right now you're thinking I've gone total Looney Tunes, but no, this is from a video game that my daughter and I spent a lot of time playing this weekend. It's called Animal Crossing, on our GameCube, and with it you build little cities and populate them, kind of a kid's version of The Sims. I had a city called Earth and replaced it with Valhalla. Heh.

It was way too cold and miserable to spend outside, so we cozied up inside and vegged out. It was fun.
