crowdog66 ◾ ◾ Nortryptiline 4, Effexor 1

I took my first Effexor tablet last night, and my second one about half an hour ago. I felt a little dizzy and sick, but apparently that's to be expected, so I'm not too worried about it. At least I managed to complete my shift today at Ipsos-Reid -- yesterday, I was so badly off that I had to cancel.

The period showed up yesterday also (and there was much rejoicing... "yay"). I'm bleeding like a stuck pig, which is something new as of last month. Peri-menopause? I hope so, because that's the least alarming of the possible reasons.

An excellent session of roleplay chat with MR last night got me out of my own head for a while, which was a very good thing. Sure, it was full of angst and drama, but it wasn't MY angst and drama, so it was entertaining rather than nervewracking.

Also got an email from Kaja Foglio saying that the latest issue of Girl Genius that I colored arrived at their studio from the printers, and looks fantastic. *grin*

And now, off to kill a bit of time in Yahoo! Religion chat before going to bed. I'm actually feeling pretty good, and what a marvelous mercy that is.
