While in Ktown for the weekend, we stayed with the Lizrents. The Lizrents have a cat. A sweet, pretty, stupid cat with long hair. This means that my allergies start to overwhlem whatever anti-allergen I throw at them after a while. To survive, I bring out the nuclear option - stimulants. Pseudoephedrine and caffeine keep me perky and breathing despite the cat.

The downside is that I don't sleep well with all that in my system.

Sunday, I loaded up with tea and advil cold+sinus to get to "normal". Then we left and headed home. By the time we got there, I was bouncing off the walls. My stomach is also unhappy, whether due to turkey or caffeine (or egg nog) I am not sure.

I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night.

Yule vigil (staying up from sunset to sunrise tonight) is going to be *fun*! I'm hitting caffeine now to make it through the day. I don't want to touch stimulants after sunset, since it feels like cheating. If I start nodding off, though, I may cheat with some absinthe.

Good luck, hon. I can help you stay awake if you like? Board games?

Well, I'll be home if you feel like wandering by. But we can talk about that at S&B.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of using stimulants for allergy! Though the sideeffects of decongestants are a pretty nasty list.

I have a sweet, pretty, stupid long hair, too :)

Enjoy your vigil as much as possible.

I imagine the sun has set over Toronto by now. I'm also functioning on rather less sleep than I would prefer.

I'll let you know if the sun comes up over here.
