Ugh, I feel queasy. Figures that the one most common side-effect to the stuff I'm taking is nausea. I called my doctor and he said it shouldn't last more than a few days, no more than a week. That's good, but bleh. I suppose it's not that bad. I don't feel like I'm gonna puke or anything. Just kinda that feeling like when you've been in a car for 4 hours in the heat with no air-conditioning on a bumpy road with a bad driver and you're trying to read a book ^^; (That's my closest approximation to feeling car-sick, since I just don't GET car/travel-sick. Only if all that stuff is there, then I maybe feel a little bit queasy ^^; Maybe). But yeah, I guess that's what it's like. Feeling mildly car-sick. And worse if I move around, so I think I'll just sit here XD;; Like I need an excuse.
Actually, I really ought'a get up and do something that's not on the computer. I was gonna try a mild workout to see if that'd help with mood-stuff. But yeah, I don't think so... I'd fall over XD; Maybe I'll just sit down on the floor and try to do that 500-piece bi-plane jigsaw puzzle I picked up from the Christmas Fayre a month or so ago.
Hardest thing (for me) about taking medication? Swallowing the damn tablet. Seriously :( I suck at swallowing tablets. Three pints of water later... success!* It must be wrong to feel so proud ;_; It's only a TINY thing ^^;
I reckon the last... oh... 4 or 5 icons I've made have been stress/anger/blah mood avatars XD; ::Checks:: Yep, the last 5 ^^; ... well, have another one. More resigned than anything else, I think. For a character who's supposedly so cheerful and happy all the time... there's a lot of pics of him not XD Hey, I have happy icons too :P Plenty!
Brr, cold. Okay, so it's not that cold. 9ºC, with a 4ºC wind-chill outside. But I'm shivering :P Jai no like the coooold. But I have peppermint tea. Which is doubly good because it's hot and it helps with icky tummies. Plus tea of any variety is awesome anyway. I'm a tea fiend. Yep.
I know I shouldn't expect the stuff I'm taking to kick in and make me feel better immediately. It can take weeks, even months. He'll up my dose if it doesn't seem to be having any/much effect in a month... but dammit, I wanna feel better right now :\ Ah well. We wish to hold the moon in our hands. We cannot. :P I'm still truckin' anyway.
*Actually, today I managed it pretty quickly. Maybe just two or three sips. QUICK. GET THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS ON THE LINE.

Hope you get better soon.

I love making icons and graphics. I'm not as good/professional as some people I know, but it's fun so that's why I do it.

...and I'm commenting ten minutes before I have to be dressed and downstairs again. xD; *runs*
