Drugs. Damn 'em.

Make me itch, keep me awake, keep me knee from hurtin'. Me knee do hurt a bunch if it's been a while.

I wan't able to get back to sleep until the sun was peepin' over the eastern horizon this morning. Just plain wired. And the mild itching that I was kinda complaining about yesterday, well, it has rachetted up incrementally until I'm just about bug-f*** crazy from it. No welts or marks or anything like that, just the creepin' itchies.

I was able to get some sleep finally, though, and another little nap this afternoon. Karen and JD and I went out to the chinese buffet, and, for the first time ever, I don't think that we got our money's worth.

JD has been getting sickie, sinusitis or something like that, bad enough to where he expressed some doubt about going back to Texas tomorrow. I would sure like to keep him around, of course, but not under those circumstances....

22:03...
I just sent JD out to get him some 'tussin and me some benedryl. I'm hoping that he can get a good night's sleep with the 'tussin DM and I want a good night's sleep without itching. Or just an awake time without itching. Without pain, too, that would be nice. I have not done very well keeping ice on the knee, and I'm paying for that now, I'm afraid... it's pretty swollen. I think that the pain pills pretty much wiped out any stray logic that I might have had laying around.

Some days I'm not nearly as smart as people think I am, and most days I'm not even as smart as *I* think I am....


Thanx for being here!
