Motormind

Thursday night I slept all night. Woke up at 8am... thought, oh I'll take a nap & then get up around 8pm & stay up all night. Riiiight. Around 8pm, I took a Provigil, which is a stimulant designed for shift-workers & people with narcolepsy. I'm tired as fuckall, but my brain will not shut up. I'm kind of bored with WoW, so I don't even have anything to keep my mind occupied, other than its own incessant rambling. Rob went to bed around 4am, came out around 6 & got a blow-job & then he went back to bed. There's not a lot of information out there about Provigil, but it's Schedule IV. Gives me a slight headache about 4 hours in. I don't like it much, never been big on stims, especially with the brain-not-shutting-up problem. My doctor doesn't seem to understand the difference between 'sleepy' and 'tired'. I am tired all the time & I only get sleepy when it's bedtime. I can't explain it to her any better - I've tried fatigue, I've tried to describe it to her by saying it's like I'm always walking through 4' deep mud carrying wet sandbags, but she doesn't get it. So she gives me a sleeping pill (which helps the insomnia) & a stimulant, which makes my brain act like a tweeking hamster on wheel. At least I can NOT take another one of these pills, I just have to wait for it to wear off. Soon, I hope.

Finally, I have typed long enough that my brain finally shut the Hel up. Bedtime!
