Note to self: Do not operate heavy machinery...

I just realised something today. You know when you're sitting down in one spot, talking to the same person, and drinking alcohol? And you both decide to change rooms at that party, or hunt out some snacks?

You get up and suddenly realise that you're staggering, and you're WAY drunker than you realised you were?

The same principle applies to codeine. When I arrived at the doctor's office, I'd taken codeine just before I left the house to knock some pain on the head. I got to the appointment just fine, I found my way in with no problems and was perfectly coherent at the beginning of the appointment.

By the end I realised I was feeling a little dopey. Just the codeine, I thought. I can handle it.

Just you watch me try to find my way OUT of that building. They had a fire drill during the appointment, so ONE door was closed that wasn't before, the one that lead to the lifts. I was SO freakin' disorientated I had to ask for directions out of the place. I got down to the floor level and had to ask again - and I was five metres away from the exit. I was THAT fucked up on codeine.

Now? My eyes are wonky. Man, I'm so high. LOL. And it's totally pointless talking to a psychologist when you're high.

"Do you have any problems connected with the [insert issue here]?"

"Hmm? Uhm... naaah. I'm fiiiine!" *big dopey grin*

See? Stupid.

Anyway, the doctor said that if my current distraction techniques work (doing art, reading ONTD and playing neopets) then I shouldn't worry myself and stick with them until the surgery.

Why do I have a feeling I'm going to be an internet bum all my life? :(
