Anyone wanna trade their yarn stash for a little boy? He’s adorable when he’s not sick and cute when he’s not refusing to eat and refusing to take his medicine and likes to watch Spongebob over and over and over and over and have I mentioned Spongebob makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a knitting needle and is pretty well behaved for a three year old other than the scrapbooking chipboard monkey he just dropped into my glass of milk.
Gotta go, he just turned over a can of Coke on Steve’s desk. sigh How long does tonsillitis last?

Hmm.

Fucking great. The lithium combined with Wellbutrin gave me the shakes, so Doc said drop the lithium. Wellbutrin plus Zoloft: weight down, libido way up, acne way up. I’ve already been through puberty once, thanks, not interested in experiencing it again. Doc prescribes Cymbalta. What the hell, I think, I’ll try the next one on the list. Then I find a site like this one of people kvetching about how terrible it is and how the withdrawals are hell, and it scares the shit out of me. Like, scares me so much I’m not sure if I’m going to start taking it this morning or not. Granted, I know people happy with their meds aren’t going to go out and post it on a side effects site. Still. Scary. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Gavin, sound asleep: *rolls over* “I just looking at them!” *continues sleeping*
Kiddo, you make me giggle.
Went to the Farmer’s Market today and snagged some honey, some ground beef, apple butter, a watermelon, bread pudding, nummy granola stuff, and some goat milk lotion. Noms. I keep sneaking into the kitchen to toss more granola into my mouth. Between the new five grain bread at Starbucks and our granola, I tell you we’re regular at the Warmath household.
I’ve discovered that when I look up drug side effects on WebMD, they list the life threatening and major ones: strokes, diarrhea, tremors, etc. The annoying ones you have to look for elsewhere. At least when I find them I know I’m not alone. So, the lithium? Gave me the shakes. Got off it. Currently on Wellbutrin and Zoloft. For now. Wellbutrin: lost some weight, yay! Made my face break out more than it has in years, suckage! And since we know that Zoloft alone makes my libido even lower than George Bush’s IQ, we’re back at square one. Have to call my shrink to set up another appointment. Good thing there are approximately 12 million bipolar drugs on the market.

I swear, the more I read about Sarah Palin the more she freaks me out. Anti-choice, anti any intelligent sex ed (and look how well that worked out for her daughter), wants to teach creationism in schools. Great, so the Republicans want us to have a half dead guy in office with a nutcase next in line. I’m so ready for this shit to be over. My stress levels can’t take much more.
