Pain is very stupid and I am sorry that you have to deal with it. Yay vacation! fwiw, I never had trouble with getting sand under ace bandages on my ankle.

ION, yes I am still working at this hour. One more installation to go then I am off to bed. I usually work early in the morning, but since it is so very cold I am altering the plan and intend to stay under quilts until much later than usual.

Vacation is Maine. We're renting a house a block from the beach. Swimming, and maybe kayaking, and reading on the beach.

fwiw, I never had trouble with getting sand under ace bandages on my ankle.

Do they still sell the kind of ace bandage with the clips? I've only seen the sticky kind lately, and I know that that would become a mess.

Pain is stupid; whining is necessary.

Hmmm, I have old ace bandages. Just as often I have used sports tape on my ankle when needed. It doesn't bother my skin like any other kind of bandage. No sticky residue either.

And finally my work is done and I am off to bed. G'night all.

Meds have kicked in enough, I'm going to bed, too.

The last time I tried to take magnesium supplements I got all itchy. It drove me crazy and I had to stop taking them.

I take...two things in the morning (one for the migraines, and Vit B). Four at night, but often five or six (two more migraine preventatives, alpha-lipoic acid (anti oxidant which supposedly helps me not be so tired), allergy pill, and often scrip ibuprofen and muscle relaxant). Several of those are multiple pills each, which is really what gets me. (Oh, and then sometimes taking all those makes me wake up with heartburn so I have to take tums in the middle of the night)

Taking so many pills makes me feel OLD.

Then again, so does taking a six hour nap in the middle of the day and still sleeping 10 hours that night. Clearly, the pills are not working as well as they could.

Sleep isn't so much happening. I keep remembering things I need to do. Just made my lunch for tomorrow. I don't have anything to read. I hate the way painkillers make my brain feel all weird.

Maybe read something that you've read before? then you don't have to worry about your head feeling weird because you don't have to remember anything.

Hang the fuck on, people - did we know that Neville Longbottom Actor Guy Matthew Lewis actually looks like this these days?

Because I was really quite taken aback.

I have only stumbled across this information because I was intrigued by his Twitters to Tom Lenk. Apparently Matt Lewis is a big Buffy fan. Bless ("Absolutely exhausted. Will be asleep soon. Watched musical episode of Buffy for like the 20th time. Massively fell in love with SMG...again.")
