Meanderings

 

Some Stuff:

Last night I couldn’t get an internet connection and it bothered me way too much.  I felt panicky.  Am over reliant on it as a source of entertainment and connection to the world.  Must try to get out in the world more.

I’m not doing much at the moment since I stopped volunteering.  I probably did need a break but I’ve got to try to plan what my next steps will be in the world. 

I took three diphenhydramine hydrochloride pills yesterday (50mg each) because I wanted to avoid taking benzo’s but I wanted to sleep.  Trouble is once you get used to the diphenhydramine (an antihistamine marketed as an OTC sleep aid) it stops working.  Shouldn’t have ‘overdosed’ but as my mood is generally depressed right now, I’m rather careless of whether I’m harming myself or not.  Groggy today so far.

On the back of the Sleepeasy (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) packet:

WARNING:  may cause drowsiness. If affected do not drive…etc

Funnily enough I had considered the possibility that my sleeping aid purchase might make me drowsy.  Hell, I’d have been mightily upset if it hadn’t.

On my see-through bag of cashew nuts:

WARNING: packaged in a factory that uses nuts.  This product may contain traces of nuts.

I think there’s more than a trace of nuts in there, mate. 

Mass production has a lot to answer for.  One warning fits all.  Madness.

    i have 1 cable connection that is doing the job 99% of the time. But it’s only a matter of time until the provider is down.

    Can’t u get a secondary connection? Even using your mobile as a modem…
