all i know is i take my medicine i always take my medicine

Spring is here, which means the past two nights I've taken a dose of sudafed before I go to bed, because I find that I wake up better when I've been able to breathe while I've been sleeping. Right? But yesterday I was full of mysterious energy, and today I am so full of mysterious energy that I'm almost (but not quite) vibrating, and on reflection I think going from no sudafed for months and months to a full dose two nights in a row may have been a tactical mistake, and maybe tonight I'll only take half a dose, because the last thing I need is to, you know, EXPLODE. And when you're rushing and rushing and glad someone you were about to call calls you and then you hurry to get your lunch before the next thing but it turns out there's no way to make the microwave heat your lunch faster and you start thinking "I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day when I felt the way that I do right now, right now, RIGHT NOW", it occurs to you that it's probably a good time to cut back.

I assume you are taking the real Sudafed, and not the reformulated product they are allowed to sell in the pharmacy aisles. If so...did you notice that they changed the formula for the coating? It used to have a vanilla flavor. Now it's, well, gross.

I'm taking the real pseudoephedrine HCl, in the CVS or Target or Walgreens or who knows what brand, so it's not candy-coated in the first place. But I'm sorry to hear the candy coating on the brand-name stuff is gross now. Solution: throw it back and taste it as little as possible. :-)

Awwww. You're so cute when you're buzzing.

Now that I am no longer twitching so violently, I'm kind of alarmed.

Just one word of advice, if I may: never, ever, try cocaine. Evidence suggests you might like it.

(I hated it. I felt, as I told the friend who gave me a taste years ago, like a Pekingese in a wind tunnel.)

You think? I think the evidence suggests that it would scare me to death.

This assumes, by the way, for any gov't types bugging my blog, that I'm inclined to do such a thing, which I'm totally not, so pls to be leaving my clearance where it is. Thank you. :-)

Perhaps. But you seemed to be having such a good time with the Sudafed!

The good thing about it was (a) a ruthless efficiency and (b) the fact that I was able to recognize at least my heart wasn't racing. :-P
