The CEO of the company I work for came to the store today. His first words upon entering the store were, “Does this bother anyone else?” Not a good start. He was complaining about the giant sign advertising one of the anchor stores that was hung in front of our entrance, obscuring our signage. Bets as to how long it lasts? G said that I should grab his ass. That no one probably does that anymore. Yeah, and I’m not about to be the first. Funny guy, my G. I’m just glad that I wasn’t at work yesterday or Sunday; we worked hard enough Friday and Saturday without the imminent threat of the CEO’s visit to worry about.
As soon as I got home from work, G and I walked down the street to the library to vote in the mayoral race and for Supreme Court Justices. I voted all over the ballot, staying as far away as possible from the anti-choice candidates (you say right-to-life, I say anti-choice). I hadn’t done my homework and checked out the Supremes, but I figured I was safe enough voting Democrat for at least that. I spent a relatively long time in the little booth, accompanied only by my indecision. The votes in Peekskill are never very well attended, so I know for a fact that my and G’s votes really counted. This is an important race; the city’s biggest developer has threatened to pull out if the Democratic candidate wins. Her platform consists of wanting more (MORE) low-income and subsidized housing (when there is already a huge surplus), and wanting pretty much nothing in the way of economic development for the city. She thinks that you can tunnel under existing buildings to build more parking. Hello, gravity?
Tonight G told me that I sound more like my old self. We’ve been talking about that very thing, and it happens that I was barely medicated when I met him; Wellbutrin, and nothing else. No more Wellbutrin for me, it stopped working long ago, and my pdoc and I are tweaking my current regimen to the following: 40 mg Geodon and 12.5 mg Lamictal in the morning, 40 mg Geodon a few hours later, and 80 mg Geodon with 12.5 mg Lamictal at night. Breaking up the Geodon is supposed to belay the drowsiness I’m getting ALL FUCKING DAY. According to Wikipedia, “…antidepressant effects have been reported at as little as 25 mg per day, but typically begin at 100 mg a day, and mood stabilization takes place between 100 mg to 200 mg a day.” So here’s to believing in it, and hoping that I’m one of the lucky ones who feels the effects right away. Go, go gadget brain!
