Now I'm walking with the living.

This morning was very california dreaming -- all the leaves are brown, the sky was grey, I was planning to take the dog for a walk on a day still technically winter, both by the calender and by the temperature. First I ate breakfast, did some freelance work, took a bath. Now the cat is lounging on the kitchen table in a sunbeam telling me: things can change.

My fever broke yesterday morning, but a very painful cough came with it, so for the first time in years, I took cough syrup. I also misread the directions, taking two tablespoons instead of two teaspoons, and was feeling kinda loopy. Even more so than the days prior with the fever (and believe me, I was loopy). I realized I was sort of minorly, accidentally, tripping on DXM. Here I thought the whole sippin on sizzurp phenomenon was referring only to codeine-based products! I proceeded to watch Live Free or Die Hard in my slightly altered state, which I think was a good choice.

Today I am drug-free in all forms. Well, except for this ginseng green tea I'm drinking right now. Despite its energy claims, I want nothing but to take a nap. Tonight, its back to the office, though I really want to continue staying home and watching season three of Battlestar Gallactica with dommeyourass.
