Oh Lady today was an abnormal, yet pleasant day. I never do nothing – cannot recall the last time I allowed myself to just lounge in the chair soaking up the sun and chilling with various neighbors. At one point I remarked to one of my friends that I should do something.

I am sure it would not have hurt – but as he remarked “sometimes you just need to take a day to relax.” clearly, in the end I decided he was right; did not do a dang thing all day. No doubt I will feel differently on the subject in the morning and work twice as hard, but for now I really am glad to have spent time with folks.

I know I have talked about it before Lady, but there truly is an irony in the fact that now, as I get ready to leave here forever, now I start to get to know folks. I guess the old saw about “better late than never” is certainly true – still, the timing is funny.

My drugs came today. I could not, even with a magnifying glass, read the inscribed amount on the pills – I was mildly surprised to discover that no where on the bottle or label does it give the pill dosage. As the doctor described it the meds come in two varieties; 12.5 and 25 milligrams.

He was very clear that he wanted me to take 12.5mg which meant if they were 25mg I would have to split the pills. As I said I was not able to determine the milligrams so I had to wait until Mary was available to read them.

I am glad I did – on two scores. The first, and obvious, was that the pills are indeed 25mg and need to be split. The second is that, while I took the pill about an hour ago, I now feel utterly wasted. They told me that drowsiness was the most likely side-effect I would feel. I have to assume that, given my lack of expended energy today the pill must be to blame for my sudden drop.

…I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be eminently clear simple from the rambling discourse I am creating here.

There are all the “normal” side-effects listed range from dryness of mouth, dizziness, and headaches, to a simulation of Parkinson's Disease – ironic isn't that? Clearly I must give the drug more than a single dose before saying I have any effects – of any kind. But my god Lady – I feel stoned tonight!

…I think my dear that I am rambling for more than normal. I shall shut my mouth before I get myself in trouble; had I typed the two paragraphs I just deleted I would have gotten in extreme troubles. One was on familial matters, the other on more drug effects.

In any event, short or not, I will smartly end this note – now. Dream Well my Lady.
