Stuffed in a Suitcase

The list of chemicals I react strangely to:
Nyquil/cough syrup in general (makes me wired for some reason if I take too much of it)
Caffeine (either has no effect or makes me sleepy)
Alcohol (sometimes also wires me depending on how much I've had, though I've been way too prone to blacking out once I get in the thick of it)
And now, Claritin, 24 hour ready-tab version (gave me dry mouth but did nothing for my allergies after the first half of the day and kept me up most of last night)

This is partially why I don't take anything unless I have to and didn't really get into recreational drugs. I was never sure how I would react to them even if their effects were well documented. I didn't want to be the even weirder girl in the corner having opposite reactions to everything. I've got enough problems with trying to be social as it is, though I didn't mind hanging around other people so long as they were cool with that. This lead to some odd situations, but that was a long time ago now.

This also marks the first time I've ever called out of work (even though I didn't have to be there in the first place).( Read more... )

I'm glad it rained. It's been a fairly good year for thunderstorms around here, which is strange given our usual drought conditions. I hope fall comes soon, though, as this hot weather is getting old, but we'll see what happens. I don't like winter, but a hard freeze would sure solve these damned allergies. Everything is late this year because it was cold up until June. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm just rambling about nothing now. Maybe I should try to do something productive before I completely lose any motivation to do so. Eh...
