(Pain x Sleep Debt) - (Accomplishment - Frustraion) = Mood


"Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure." F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940), Tender is the Night
While I managed to call in the refill of my Neurontin prescription this afternoon, I forgot to pick it up. Until 9:05, that is, when I remembered and recalled that the reason I'd refilled the 'script was because I was out of Neurontin.
Neurontin is Gabapentin which is apparently only approved for use as an anti-seizure med, but is also used for Diabetic neuropathy, other pain disorders and, in my case, sleep problems. At least that what my doc says he prescribing it for. Who know really. Maybe he figures it works for my pain since that is was usually keeps me up and wakes me up.
I've been waking earlier and earlier. It sucks, frankly. My neck is still very sore since the fender bender and I just can't get comfortable. I should probably see my Chiropractor but funds are a bit tight right now. Sure, insurance would probably cover it. Guess I'll be making that call tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon is a trip to the Dermatologist. She's taking out the stitch that closed the gaping biopsy hole on my jaw. Truth be told I should just take it out myself but it gives her purpose, and god forbid if I screw it up then who would I blame?
11:30 it technically past my optimal bedtime. I'll be taking the cocktail in a few minutes and hoping it kicks in. Today I was mostly useless. I made a few phone calls that were hanging over my head but other than that... well.... let's just say I've had better days.
Tomorrow. I'm hoping for good things tomorrow. If, that is, I can get some sleep tonight.
