insomnia; CatScratchFever
I was asleep earlier tonight, but my brain rebooted and I've been up for three hours. I'm now waiting for the Ativan to kick in.
Today (Tuesday) was the shrink visit I referred to in last week's post. I adore my psychiatrist--he is beyond supportive. We decided on option B: discontinuing anti-depressants for a while, and having a look at my life with a clear head... without the Celexa cancelling out the noise. I think I need to hear the noise.
And yes, I was truthful about my Skylab-falling-on-head fantasies.
So I'm tapering off the dosage and should be SSRI-free by the end of March.
I was in the hospital again on Monday, with a swollen left hand and a low-grade fever. My grouchy cat had taken a swipe at me a few days earlier and apparently infected my hand. It had become extremely sore, and I couldn't close my hand, make a fist, or type. Goddamned cat. I'm on amoxicillin + clavulanic acid for two weeks. Five pills later and the swelling is almost gone.
A note to my brother: yes, Nuge's song "Cat Scratch Fever" is about pussy and the clap. But there really is such a thing as cat scratch fever. I don't have it, since my scratch site didn't have "pustules" (gross). But in the opening lyrics to the song, Nuge sings about getting it when he was 10 years old.
Oh, wait. He might have been talking about snatch at that point, too.

Jimmy: how about "new mattress that I'm too lazy/disorganized to buy sheets for" war?
TBL: I'm surprised you're leaving comments on my clog, after that message I sent you the other night
teh: not touching that one with a 10-ft pole
Does that count as twelveteen or is this not that some of the time?
From what I hear, Jimmy's new mattress is not craftmatic.
Gay cats attend the lesbian bath-house night here in Toronto. It's called "Pussy Palace." Once, the cops raided it. They didn't know that lesbians tend to get angry and political about shit like that.
Good luck with the discontinuing.
Jimmy has a new bed? I know nothing.
that must be SERIOUS BEESWAX....POST IT ON YOUR BLOG PLEASE! I'm sure Peter won't mind....I have a scanner you can borrow :)
btw.....gay cats and pussy palace is the funniest shit ever and JIMMY ALLOWED GEORGE LARSON IN HIS BED BUT NOT ME? WTF IS THIS WORLD COMING TO ANYWAY?
