Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Me stoopid

So I managed to somehow get a case of flashburn last week. Right eye felt like someone had poured a tablespoon of 30grit sand in it. Started itching on Friday, was full bore grit and grind on Saturday, and thats when I pulled the Stoopid.

Visine and Benadryl usually alleviate the symptoms enough that I can function without duress. And they did, but my stoopid was in doubling the dosage of the antihistamines. Felt good enough that Da and I knocked down a dead redoak and cut and split it for additional firewood for me.

Then darkness falls and time for bed.

HA!!!! Sleep? Whusdat?!?!

Restless legs felt like they were trying for a marathon. Twitchy’er than wound up pissed off kats. Sleep was lingering two doors down, waiting for the bedlam to stop.

Seems antihistamines can aggravate RLS. Who knew? I knows now!!! But thats the reason you didn’t get a post yesterday: lack of sleep, an eye (my dominant eye at that) that burns and has a glaze over it like a frosted window makes reading a problem and sudden shifts in light intensity make it feel like someone is driving spikes into my head.

And today is now an extended weekend, kinda sorta. No welding, but later I go in to do some mekaniking kinda stuff. Boss wanted it to warm up some so I came home.

More later as I try to catch up.

Oh, heads up to the not-prepper types. Best be stockpiling some canned goods ASAP. Things are gonna take a turn here around March and things are gonna get tight. More on that later too.

    They can also cause depression, though you won’t see that on the official documents.
