It’s the vyvanse. It’s making me feel like crap. My heart just races constantly. I need that clonidine.”<br />“Hm. Okay. Let’s think about that. Do you drink any coffee?”<br />“Oh, yeah, that’s all I drink. All day. It keeps me awake because I can’t sleep at night.”<br />“Hm yes okay well I think I know why your heart is racing and you can’t sleep at night.”<br />“You don’t think it’s all that coffee I drink, do you???”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-56534368016393409122018-03-08T19:14:53.245-05:002018-03-08T19:14:53.245-05:00She needs you.She needs you.Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-10960637007807241922018-03-07T16:57:02.940-05:002018-03-07T16:57:02.940-05:00I coulda sworn my appointment was in 608 because s...I coulda sworn my appointment was in 608 because six is the number of the cats I have (no, there are four, now) and zero is my lucky number, and seven is eight minus one for the cats I used to have, though actually three are gone, now, but it's the fifth of March, so I should have gone to 605. Actually, today is the seventh of March. By the way, when was it that you moved? Hmm. I wonder how I got to the right floor. Well, I pushed the button on the elevator because it said 407. I am here, and it is Wednesday? Yes. I am pretty sure I have seen you before. <br /><br />I sorta understand. Too many brains.
