c o u c h 38 - The dark ages....

I find it incredibly rude that my Ativan is:
a) allowing my heart to keep racing
b) making me feel like I am going to fall asleep at my desk

One or the other, people. How the hell can it be BOTH of these things?? Grr.

love that song cool version

does it usually do this P

I love me some Simon and Garfunkel , you have to buy the whole album to get this song.

The sleepy part I get. If your heart is still racing , maybe you can breathe and try to focus on being calm?

zoloft makes me tired AND jittery for half the day. Meds are weird. Mine hasn't helped yet. I'm sorry pbutton, that wasn't too helpful but I definitely empathize with you about the effects of meds!

Eww I realized a little while ago that I completely forgot to put on deodorant this morning. Was running late and guess I missed a step. Now that's sure to make me lots of friends.

I have one in my truck and one at work, because If I forget something, it's gonna be that!

So I guess that wasn't rainbows I smelled... hahaha

Oops. Just think of it as going au naturel.

I keep a thing of deodorant at my desk. Also some body spray, just in case. And eyedrops and salt and Tylenol and . . .

To make matters worse I'm supposed to go out to dinner tonight after work with a very dear friend that I haven't seen in years and she is very huggy....poor thing is going to be sorry she wanted to hug me

I'm a regular Boy scout too MKAC. It has to be due to my upbringing.... my friends laugh at me because I have band-aids, water, food, hairspray, medicine , chains, jumper cables, a blanket, fix a flat , tool kit etc in my vehicle...one never knows what they may need.

I think it's probably a result of always having to take care of ourselves and having no one to rely on. And also that fear of being judged -- smelling bad and having people think we're disgusting.

I feel that way about eyesight. I have been extremely nearsighted since I was 6. Now I also need reading glasses. How can I both not see far away and not near either but not be blind?

GENTLE TEASING:

If that's how you feel, Lola, you go ahead and rain!

Duct tape, a pocket knife and a set of foxfire books.
I can survive after the apocolypse

((Lola))

People come, people go.
And sometimes people come back.

Duct Tape/ a hatchet and WD-40 are survival necessities.

Oh man do I get this one. I am always living in fear of that because I feel disgusting all the time and have to work so hard to make sure that I don't inflict that on anyone else, hence smelling bad...or just the possibility of that...is dreadful.

The duct tape and WD-40 are in my truck, although I limit my sharp implements to good knives. In my truck there are also jumper cables, tool kit, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, halter and lead rope, and helmet. Right now, there is also a bridle, saddle and saddle pad. [Just in case it gets nice enough to ride, I can just hook up the trailer, load the horse and head down the road.] I have the fire extinguisher because my truck actually caught on fire once, when we were pulling the trailer. Luckily, there was a fire extinguisher in the trailer, or my entire engine would have been ruined. So now there is an extinguisher in the truck and the trailer.

In the glove box is Tylenol, another knife, motion sickness pills, a Leatherman multi tool, benadryl, benadryl cream, toilet paper, copies of the rabies certificates for the dogs, a durable power of attorney, copy of my health insurance car, candy and a granola bar.

I'm such a girlie girl i have none of these things in my car. i have pens, flashlight brush, lip gloss,in my glove box blanket in my back seat and mints and wallet. i pod stuff and gps.

Well Granite , my excuse is I am a lesbian and I drive a Pickup with a tool box... I also have a leatherman, cooler, oil, transmission fluid, a tow chain, various straps, a first aide kit , beef jerky and bottled water etc etc... I even have sox's, steel toed boots and some coveralls in case I have to get dirty too... LOL

Are you a doomsday Prepper MKAC?

It aggravates me when I call another business and the person says they will need to take message, and I give them my name and number, and then start to tell them the message and THEN they ask me to wait a minute so they can get paper. I would expect that if I were calling just a personal number for someone.

No, usually it calms the heartbeat down. The nap thing happens all the time though.

Not sure what my deal is today. I am having trouble with a lot of depersonalization. Grr. I have T tomorrow, just need to hang in until then.

Oh, thanks for reminding me, I do have a bunch of bungies, rope, water and galoshes. I am not a doomsday prepper; I am a horse owner, and the two look similar on the surface. LOL.
