Serial Coffee-Implicated Encounters

I was so jittery by the time I made it to pdoc's office that he told me to go home and take lithium and ativan. I couldn't go home at that point because of my other appointment afterwards, but it just goes to show how much I was affected. When I told him my thoughts were racing he dropped his pen. "Discontinue it," he said, all avuncular with furrowed brow.

So I'm waiting to come down. It's starting to dissipate, but I'm still plenty jittery. It's ironic, too, that I had four encounters with coffee or coffee shops today. Reena's deck, where I drank fully caffeinated high-test stuff that would put hair on your chest, and then decaf experiences for the rest of the time. Manny and I went out for coffee at Peet's after the other appointment. For the most part my coffee experiences were of the decaf variety, but still, when I was completely out of my mind jittery I think even the decaf went in and bounced a bit.

But it's been kind of nice being semi-manic. I haven't been in much emotional pain today and certainly it was easier to get through our "other appointment" pretty well.

I thought I was being all smart buying my books off the used part of Amazon, but it turns out I bought the earlier edition of the book. Damn it! The fuck.

You probably already know this, but decaffeinated means reduced caffeine, not caffeine free.

Yeah, I know it. And on jittery medication to boot. Tomorrow will be better.

I'm telling you, that Wellbutrin messed me up!
