Bit of Ivory

Look to Your Dreams Section 3– Crash and Burn is now up at the
usual places.
In the meantime, I have learned that Trazodone definitely does NOT
agree with me. I tried it again on Monday night, and I woke up Tuesday
morning exhausted and with a raging headache. Having a lot of things to
do yesterday, I broke out the Excedrin. Which brings me to another new
discovery. Caffeine makes me feel weak and lightheaded. The headache
went away, but when I was walking toward the library with my bridal
shower gift (a springform cake pan), my chocolate caramel pecan
brownies (Maybe I’ll post the recipe, they’re delicious), and my laptop
(so I could write section 3 while I was waiting for my sisters to get
off work), my legs were shaking so bad I thought I was going to faint.
I’ve noticed this phenomenon before, when I finally got my Pepsi last
week. I was hoping it was an isolated incident, but apparently not.
Anyway, I had fun at the shower, then settled in with my laptop. The
problem was, I felt so awful, I couldn’t write. I spent almost the
whole 3 hours downloading trailers and playing games (thanks to the
lovely Ethernet connections they have in the library). Anyway, when I
finally got home, I collapsed on the couch and stayed there the rest of
the night. Luckily, by about 7 or so, I started to feel a bit better,
so I was able to write the next section. Now, after a good night’s
sleep (well, as good as I ever get), I’m feeling much better.
Note to self: Avoid sleeping pills and caffeine. Sleeping pills keep
you awake, and caffeine makes you tired. How’s that for irony?
