Before going to bed last night I viewed the Battlestar special 'Razor' and all it's special features. It was a good episode for the series and should (IMO) be viewed during the 2nd Season, between the episodes "The Captain's Hand" & "Downloaded" - it does set up something for Season 4, but the placement of the episode is a no-brainer, and it ruins nothing. So I'm done with Battlestar Galactica until Season 4 until April. I'll be sending my discs to Mollie next week sometime, or at least that's the plan.

I slept fairly well...though I woke up in distress. I've been ill all day. There have however been bright spots. I got to talk to Jennifer, and she helped me make some decisions and think of things in a new light. Also, my Dune books arrived and I starting reading the first chronological story (Hunting Harkonnens), which I'll finish soon. I may then dive into the first novel.

I've decided to begin an experiment with a drug that has been perscribed to me. The drug is an anti-depressant called Cymbalta, but it's not been perscribed to me because of depression, but because of the side effects of the drug which would be good for my stomach. My doctor told me to mess with the dosage until I found what was right for me, but I never got around to it, because the reactions I had to the meds were new to me, and kind of freaked me out. When you first take it, it makes your skin crawl for about a week (taking it everyday), but then that goes away, and it helps my stomach problems immensly. And while it doesn't prevent me from desiring sex, it does make it impossible for me to have an orgasm (or at least I've never had one while taking the drug). It was so odd for me, that I stopped taking the drug altogether. I like sex. And I just decided that if I had a bad spell with my stomach I'd take the drug, and then get off it again. But I don't think that's the best way to go anymore. Now I'm thinking I'll take the drug, and see how long it stays in my system...and go from there. I'll use that information to decide how often I take it, and hopefully I'll be able to get some kind of balance going where I can have my cake and eat it too, and not get sick from it afterwards. Wish me luck. I think I might need it.

Oh. And if I turn into a raving bitch, I apologise.
