Rockin in the free world

Mr. Neil Young ( he hates when I call him "mister")
sings that song. i like the tune, can not understand the lyrics, I think he is on drugs, DUH!

I wanted to do a think piece.
THINK, think, Think!
something thoughtful, with brain on display.
Then I went and worked all day and the bright thoughts flew away.
I really do think a lot, but most of it is so random that I dare not try to catch it here.
I quit taking my Wellbutrin prescription this week, for several reasons.
and in the absence of this wonderful behavior enhancing chemical
I am a slightly different person. I also quit a much more friendly drug
that is in my coffee, caffeine. Whoah Nellie! Whole lot a shakin' going on.
I feel pretty good. I substituted a Chinese herb tea in for stimulation, and had enough highly focussed tasks to keep me on track. In four days I have formed and pured a yummy chocolate colored patio, and raised a small but sturdy deck above it, and crafted a set of thirteen steps to function as a fire escape from the upstairs rooms of this house. Today, just for fun the temp dropped to 33 degrees and we had snow on and off. In the past I might have bailed, instead I bundled and managed to get in a really productive, satisfying day.
So I need to hit the Ginseng, the herbs, the B vitamins, and head down the hill. because tomorrow is my dentist appointment, yay!
I think that is all .

Oh Yeah, Jennifer Thinks I am special, and gave me the thinking blogger award and I get to award it to my favorite thinking bloggers, which I will do sometime tis weekend, if I think about it. Go visit Jennifer and Hear all about her recent hearing test and her cochlear implant.

Thank Jennifer, I am honored, and tired, and thinking about a hot bath and bed.

Well, shoot. Why would anyone give up coffee, coffee, coffee?

This is a thoughtful post. Sometimes a re-unaltered consciousness is all it takes, I guess.

Jennifer has great insight, congratulations.

Michele sent me,

You have been busy. Don't try to give up too much at once and good luck with the dentist - always a good thing over and done with. Have a good week-end - sorry about the snow and Michele says hi!

Well now, I guess we have a lot in common. Wellbutrin, Caffeine as well as my Adderal for my ADD are my best friends. I don't know if I could quit them all at once, though!
