Last night was a rough one. Not sure if it had anything to do with the lithium; probably more a case of a particularly typically awful day at work. 2016-12-14 (Wednesday) Woke up early today. Took the first morning 300mg. I’d divvied up all my morning and night doses in a pill reminder box. I could skip a day with just the Wellbutrin and friends, but don’t wanna miss one with lithium in the mix. Got to work early, too....
Went to bed yesterday around noon-thirty while spending a sick day at home, mostly out of boredom. Woke up at 5PM. While finishing leftover potatoes and brussels sprouts, I watched the tail end of “Don’t Make Waves” with Tony Curtis (with Sharon Tate), then a few episodes of “How the Universe Works” before settling into a funk that had me definitely wanting to flick the switch. I took my double-double of Klonopin and lithium and went back to bed around...
After exhausting the pharmacopoeia of most depression-fighting medications, my drug dealer finally prescribed lithium. After I’d suggested it. A special fellow crazy person to whom I am attached has been taking it with spectacular results, although with a bipolar history. My disorderly mental health record has consisted mostly of deep and dark troughs and void of manic highs save for the few hours after my morning Adderall. Nevertheless, lithium is (one of?) the only medications proven to reduce rates of...

Beginning a series of copy-pastes of my comments posted on Google+, since few people read G+, and the comments are usually buried so deep that even fewer people will read them, and the ones I pick are usually worth a wider audience. Like fazigu.org. Yeah. I probably have a larger audience than Google’s social network. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. Anyhoo, this was one of those flash-polls on the Star Wars group. Two buttons with two logos: Disney and Lucasfilm...
Six months. 31.5 times six. 93 days? I’m not particularly mathematically adept at this time. Nevertheless and irregardless– off the wagon. First, it was the party for a friend of my lover. Strong through an hour, maybe two. Then anxious. Then was asked to get a drink for her. Hers were weak. I nod and smile. To the bar. Drop a twenty. “Double vodka.” It was downhill from there. Down into “Proud Mary in the...
Blue Angel. 1930. Before most of our parents were born. In Europe, lusty lust was not lost, but America diluted its fire water into warm milk. I’m gonna try to capture the spirit of Frederick Hollander’s lyrics made famous by Marlene Dietrich. Apologies to the dead for this poor man’s rendering of “Falling In Love Again”. Some side-wise beauty flickers, Some “je ne sais-pas-quoi”. Like fool’s gold, a glimmer, but the shine is faint and dull. And then my eyes catch yours, and then we’re face-to-face, and...

Tried to get taxes done tonight. Found out the 401k (early-withdrawal due to previous employer closing its...
For an “alcoholic”, there is only one problem– alcohol. At that first AA meeting, when I raised my hand and said, “I’m Quinn and I’m an alcoholic”, I bargained with myself that it was some sort of truth. Major regrettable events had transpired which, without alcohol, would have been mere forgettable incidents. I have problems associated with alcohol, like a racist has problems associated with race. So, I’m an alcoholic, right? No, I’m not– and I won’t call myself that again. I’ve...
