Pax Sleepious

I am down with another delightful ear infection (seems a constant state of being that I shall be blaming on the sticky humidity of our weather) and my Doctor has prescribed some pretty serious medication to try to get me back to hearing as well as I can.

Sadly, like all drugs, these ones have some major side-effects - to wit I'm not getting much sleep as the drug kicks my insomnia up to a new and intensive level. On the flipside my brain seems to be wanting to impersonate a Space Cadet (oooh Shiny things!!!) so I'm doing my darndest to keep a very low profile at work so they don't end up thinking I'm weirder than usual.  Oh and it's making my taste buds rebel so my normal sweet sweet caffienated goodness of Coke is *really* tasting like battery acid.

So low sleep and no caffiene - makes Pax pretty dangerous to herself if not the world around her [my bruises from walking in to things now have bruises :( ].

I'm also behind on communications - sorry - the simple act of being coherent is eluding me a bit. (oh and I have at least 2 drafts for the blog somewhere - I'll get back to those soon I promise)

  1. I'm sorry about your hearing and the pain. Oh! Sorry! I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR HEARING AND THE PAIN, SWEETIE. HOW LONG WILL YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE NEW DRUGS AND IF THEY ARE REALLY GOOD, CAN I BUY - OOH, SQUIRREL - SOME?

  3. Coke has the same effect as battery acid on some things.

  4. Hmm... Blogger ate my homework.. er.. reply.. I shall try again.

    Coffey - than.. OPPS SORRY - THANK YOU! (mutter.. grumble.. thinks he can get away with being cheeky cause he's witty ;D)

    Hope - I'm not sure bhinging on chocolate would be approved by my Doctor but d@mm that's a really good idea (...goes off to find some timtams)

    CI - did you ever use Coke to clean up your brasses? (old Aussie army trick I'm told)

    Thanks Buffalo. I'm doing better today - about 6 hours of sleep and a day of being "brain awake" at work does wonders

  5. Hi Pax,

    Stopped by and discovered you've been having a bad time with illness.
    Hope the meds are kicking in big time so you can start to feel better.
