The only think that kicks the crap out of severe congestion and flu for me.<\/p>\n<p>The reason you have to sign for it now, is because some morons decided it was a great substance with which to make <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Methamphetamine\">methamphetimines<\/a>. And since the current US government treats its people as more likely to commit a crime than be honest, the drugs are no longer over the counter.<\/p>\n<p>Amphetamines were known by another term in the 70s.

I pretty much fell over in exhaustion congested to the back of my head at midnight. But not before taking to Pseudophedrine. At about 2:45 I woke up. Jittery and WIDE AWAKE.<\/p>\n<p>This is not going to be very conducive for the rest of my day or weekend. I&#8217;m solo parenting &#8220;a&#8221; this afternoon and evening while &#8220;H&#8221; does mass. I obviously must be awake and focussed. This is humous while I sit here on a Saturday before 6am scratching at the feeling of the hair on my arms because I feel slightly like a strung out junky.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose the good side of this is that I only get this wired on the stuff when it&#8217;s reaching the end of its usefulness. Translation: If I take it easy today (and its a non-work day) I should be healthy by the time I go to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>This would be exceedingly good because <a href=\"http:\/\/lordandrei.livejournal.com\/628643.html\">the mantra<\/a> I have this weekend is, &#8220;When I awake tomorrow, Grecian travelers will be en route home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2628\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/14\/this-would-have-ben-more-impressive-90-minutes-ago\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2628\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/14\/this-would-have-ben-more-impressive-90-minutes-ago\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-2628\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/14\/this-would-have-ben-more-impressive-90-minutes-ago\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/14\/this-would-have-ben-more-impressive-90-minutes-ago\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still shaking the last vestiges of June-Goo &#8217;08.
