Dear Brain

My dearest, precious, little Brain: We need to have a little talk, you and I. I appreciate your decision to decide to kick into overdrive and start really firing on all cylinders all of a sudden. But, can you not do it at night, please? I find myself rolling over and jotting down all sorts of notes just to capture everything you’re coming up with, but it comes at a price. Now, I think that this may be related to the steroids I’ve just started taking for the poison ivy and, if so, I have 8 more days of steroids to go, so you and I need to find a compromise if I’m going to get through this with my sanity intact. I’ll give you between 8 AM and midnight every day to just go nuts. Process as much as you want. Throw as many magnificent thoughts, to dos, reminders and all sorts of marvelous things that I might otherwise forget at me as you can possibly create. Because I really do appreciate your incredible power and I’m getting a lot out of these sessions with you. But midnight to 8 AM is time to shut down and take a break, okay? Do you think you can do that?

Please and thank you.

    Sorry to hear that you got poison ivy! ewww…. but your post made me smile. 🙂 Hope your brain stops racing so you can get some sleep.

    I had the same issues with certain steroid courses 🙁 I would fight it with a bit of caffeine in the evening, but that may be counter-productive for you… LOL

    If you have the usual course that reduces the number of pills over days, it *should* get better sooner than 8 days from now.
