JUST CALL ME "DOPEY"

Painkillers are beautiful things! And that is meant in all honesty. They must be one of the most beautiful things that I have ever come in contact with. Two things about them: they take away absolutely all trace of any back pain that one may be experiencing, and they make the world a happier place! Both are very true. All pain is gone, and I do mean GONE. And the world, well, it has never looked so good as it did today. Everything was just so incredibly nice today! I was smiling all day long! Unfortunately there is one teeny tiny side-effect. And this may not happen to everyone, but I think I took double the dose that I should have last night and so it definitely applies to me! Anyways, it makes me loopy. I might've mentioned that in an earlier entry, but I could tell ya the exact moment that those pills kicked in. The pain left, but so did my brain. It was like everything that I was focused on became fuzzy and distant and I couldn't quite get back my focus on anything. It's like my head sort of separated from the rest of my body and my body wouldn't listen to what my head told it to do. It's an outrageous feeling! Not unpleasant by any means, just really really weird. But at least I was sitting down this time. Last time I took them I nearly fell down a flight of stairs! But yes, I took the pills last night and I think I was still feeling some of their effects today because my head has been fuzzy all day long. Took twice as long for me to do the most basic things this morning. But they really are like uppers. I'd take them all the time if I wasn't worried about a little thing that I like to call addiction! Oh I'm sure it'd be wonderful at first, but it might be just a slight problem when you have to rely on pills to make you feel good. Yup yup, I may be dopey at the moment, but I don't think I'd like to be called that for the rest of my life (and my friends had better not be getting any ideas on new nicknames for me!). It's been a trip alright, but I think I'm going to end the ride by taking a nap. Maybe "Sleepy" is a more fitting name after all.
