I've been partially unmedicated for the past week thanks to having a reaction to one of my meds. And I NEVER have adverse reactions, so I couldn't believe it was this one particular pill. Needless to say, once I stopped taking it...the shit hit the fan.
I had the meltdown to end all meltdowns at the Chicken Express last Saturday, and my sister was even there to witness it. She could not stop laughing and I'm surprised she didn't videotape it. I know I would have if the roles had been reversed.
We were at the drive-thru, and after Kelly told me her order, I decided I wanted some gizzards. Yes, I eat liver and gizzards. Anyways, the person tells me that they've been there a while, do I want something else. Okay, no big deal. I'll get something else, something simpler....you know, like chicken. That was not to be. It was going to take them at least 15 minutes to make NEW CHICKEN.
And that's when Courtney left her body and Piper emerged. I totally went off, screaming at them and my parting shot was "Scratch It! Scratch everything you chicken scratchers! We'll just go somewhere else!!" I've toned it down a bit, but you get it.
We ended up at Braums, and my sister had already Facebooked about it, saying she hoped Braums had ice cream, or else it could get even worse.
She got a little upset at me for telling the Braums people about Chicken Expressless, but I am my father's daughter and make conversation with anyone. I asked the dude if he was going to spit in our food since they had been our second choice. He just laughed and made me the best chocolate shake ever.
I had an appointment with my pill pusher Wednesday, and she decided to take me off my main drug and give me something new. It's less sedating, but still helps with the "dysphoric mania" that people like me tend to have. I started it last night, so we'll see how good it is. I never get the pills that have commercials, and even though she said this had been around for a while, it was a new one to me. And I know my drugs, legal and illegal.
Me, my friend Will (Sunday Fundays) and his girlfriend went and saw The Dark Knight rises. We snuck a flask in like teenagers and had the time of our lives. The movie kicked ass, even if it was very long. I only had to leave once! Very impressed with myself. The place was packed, and every time Anne Hathaway was on the screen, Will would say "Slut", and the couple sitting next to me would just die laughing. Then we decided that Bane's voice sounded like Space Ghost, and it was just downhill from there. When we left the theater, at 10 pm, it was still 98 FREAKING DEGREES. That's not the boy band, that's the actual temperature.
Texas has been a nasty, hot, sweltering bitch. It got up to 108 the other day, and I can't decide if I have no energy because of the heat or because I'm coming down off my meds. Probably a mixture of both. I don't even like eating right now, that's how bad it is. And I love my food.
Speaking of food, I'm trying this half-assed no gluten in my diet. By half-assed, I mean only some of the foods I eat are gluten free. I've lost almost eight pounds, so I'm stoked about that.
Me and the Lot Lizard are planning to go to Biloxi at the end of September. Gambling is one of my vices, so I'm saving up big time. I always hope that I hit it big, but then reality sets in and I remember I have the luck of the Bowdens so I better have plenty of extra dough on me. I don't mind losing, but as long as those slot sluts let me play on a $20 for a while, I'm having a great time. Plus the free alcohol. How can you go wrong?
