    Do caffeine, sucrose and dihydrogen monoxide count as medicine?

      Hey, that’s when I took mine, too! I’d usually be taking them about now but I was under the impression I’d be leaving the house this morning and wanted to be prepared.

          My condolences to your partner! I hope they feel better soon.

          My plans for the morning were to take the wife and kid to a local breakfast buffet, but I exacerbated my chronic back injury yesterday. I was still gonna try to power through it but the kid woke up saying they feel sick, so we decided we’d try again next weekend. (We hadn’t told the kid so they’re not disappointed.)

          I might still go and try to pick up food for the family if my back allows, but no adventures on the docket anymore.

            Thank you, same to your kiddo! And you for your back! That’s good they won’t be disappointed. It makes me think they’re so good with surprise outings that you didn’t need to tell them too far in advance, which might be helpful in life. Idk, I don’t have a kid 😂

              Well, so far they appear to be on the upswing. Hope the same applies to your household. Thank you for the well wishes and good night!

    Wasn’t going to, as it’s just a lazy day home caring for a probably sick toddler. She sounded awful when she woke up, but now after medicine and time sounds and is acting fine. Besides being the hungriest two year old in the world. Wonders of youth.

    But I realized I was getting slightly more frustrated with her normal toddler antics than I should be (she’s at the age of testing rules and boundaries), so I took them a few hours ago. Better now.

    Don’t be like me. If you’re supposed to take psychoactive meds regularly, ones that have effects on your mood and emotional response to things, don’t just fucking skip them out of laziness. It’s not fair to put the people around you or yourself through having to deal with a worse/less controlled version of yourself due to laziness or lack of enough self control to just take your damn meds. You’ve been perscribed them to help you, use the help. If they arenct helping, go talk to your Dr.
