My appointment was at 12:30. I left early because it was snowing and I didn’t know what the roads would be like. I got to the clinic at 12:15. I gave my name at the front desk and the receptionist told me I was checked in. I sat in the waiting room past my appointment time—though I’m not sure how long because I wasn’t actually watching the time. I sat through half each of two…
Detox Weekend Round One… Considering the entire experience with medication has been completely different than the first time around, I should have known better that coming off the medication would be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. There were no 9-volt batteries to be found and I never thought I would actually miss them. I took my last dose of Prozac on a Wednesday night, my last dose of Trazodone had been two days before, and I stepped down…
When I was a baby I had an episode where my eyes rolled back in my head and I stopped moving as if I was having some sort of seizure.

Oh hey, remember the Mystery Leak To End All Mystery Leaks when we had the whole front wall and half the ceiling of our living room torn out trying to find the damn leak and closing on our house was almost delayed and OH MY GOD CAN…
I am attempting fajitas in the crockpot for dinner. Sheep is dubious and would like to just go back to bed. Thanks for the support, critter. Appreciate it. Yesterday I was laying in bed with my laptop—as I do—and I felt like I was falling forward despite not actually moving. I also had considerable tingling in my fingers and buzzing in my foot. Later I felt as though I was suspended in Jello. (Why is…
