The real deal

Well I found out the solution to the persistent headache is real pseudoephedrine. In order to protect me from making meth in my home lab, the government has set limits on how much pseudoephedrine is available OTC, and many products have been reformulated so they contain another chemical that doesn't make meth, and that you don't have to ask the pharmacist for. But apparently this other formula also does not work as well, at least in my body, as a decongestant. The downside is the fact that, while it works great as a decongestant, pseudoephedrine also keeps me awake. All night. (Except for the weird dreams). But being headache-free for the first time in weeks is well worth it.

Loud Wednesday

(N.B. I'm going to ignore the fact that I have not posted in weeks and just talk about Wednesday). It was in fact a very loud Wednesday at WPL. We had to deal with sawing and banging from construction outside the front windows (and on the roof?) Not to mention the rumble and backup beeping of the construction equipment. Then there was the alarm system tests that had high-pitched beeping,constantly, or so it seemed. Add to the mix of kids crying, Jack C teaching AARP (we closed the door), phones ringing and patrons complaining. No wonder I found my head pounding too. The only scary part was when we also saw sparks flying outside the window, and smelled something burning. Hmm...Never did find out what that was. Anyway I hope today will be a little more sedate, but I won't count on it. At least I've spent a quiet morning at home willing my persistent headache to stay away.
