What even was today?

So I decide to try the gabapentin. I'm supposed to take 3 a day. Let me tell you, if I did that, I'd be in a coma. Holy shit, no wonder my uncle was always kinda out of it and said his head was floating. Damn straight it was. Someone asked me today 'are you okay?' nope my head is floating. I'm not sure where I am. My feet and hands aren't connected. A LOT of people knew I was out of it. Students could see it. Nope, just nope to this drug. Maybe at night but let me tell you it took more than 8 hours to feel right again.

Not only that it can cause serious hypoglycemia (and it did) so I'd be afraid to take it and trying to sleep. And I DO have pain, I'm just too high to care. Thank god I don't have epilepsy which this drug was developed for. There has to be something better than this.

I came home, called the clinic and left a note for my endocrinologist about the thyroid nodules to see if she wants to do something more than wait 6 months.

I make my donations for fandom trumps hate and nothing is emailed to me for proof of donation via paypal. I go in there and start messing around and see that it was pulled from money waiting on me, about 80$ I go to transfer it to my bank (puzzled as my royalty check was not that high sadly) but there's no bank account. Thinking it might be that issue with my bank again. I try to chat but their AI bot is worthless but hey there's a phone number. OMG what happened next

it's a second account that is linked to my other account with one small alteration in my email (which is why I didn't get the emails) I'm like HOW? I've had my account 20 years with my email and my bank. He's like no you've had it for 24 years (oh right, I started PayPal when I was hitting eBay hard in FL) but you created a second one 8 years ago. No I didn't. Yes you did.

The only thing different was the newer one didn't have an underscore in the email name. The only thing I can think of is I accidentally did this giving it to a publisher (because 80$ would be about right for a short story and there were a couple I swore I never got paid for...) So long stupid story short I ended up transferring everything to the old account and life is hopefully good.

That was until I started getting things packed up for spring break and now ALL of my sandals are MIA. I have a vague memory of putting them all in a bag to go into my suitcase but where did I put that. At 10pm I gave up the hunt.

But all the jaw clenching from this is making my face hurt again but not nearly as bad as monday.

And then dinner was awful. I usually get a Rotisserie chicken because it's decent enough protein and takes out dinner prep two days a week. This was hands down the worst chicken ever. I think it died of old age. Jesus. My knives are sharp but I couldn't saw through this. I took a bite of a hunk I did get off. Hard, rubber, I swear I was eating cartilage. I'm not even sure I'm saving this for the cat.

I made pancakes instead. sigh.


What I Just Finished Reading:

Disco Witches of Fire Island -Blair Fell

Silent are the Dead - eh, not going to read another I don't think sadly

Murder by Cheesecake - Golden Girls mystery, yes you read that right. Not all that funny unfortunately and I wasn't a fan of all the St Olaf stuff but it wasn't a bad mystery (read it cover to cover in the ER)

Pine & Merrimac - an interesting dark mystery graphic novel

What I am Currently Reading:

Another Fine Mess - a paranormal thing, just starting it

The Tomb of Zeus - a 1920s mystery set in Crete


What I Plan to Read Next: lightweight paperbacks going into my luggage because Mexico will let me bring in a computer or a tablet but not both (and I can't read on my phone, too small, too annoying)
