When I was in College I had a ritalin prescription. Mostly I used it to stay up late for partying purposes. Occasionally I'd take it to cram for a test I had months to prepare for but didn't. A year after College, my parents yanked me off the ritalin.. Concentrating for testing purposes was deemed important to them... Concentrating for my Magazine job, not so much. In retrospect, they were smart. Had I stuck with my Ciba-Geigy 20mg Ritalin, I'd probably be with Lindsay Lohan right now. Actually, why be negative? There is that slight chance I could have used the Ritalin for good and I'd be uber-svelte and on my fifth book tour right now. I digress...
Yesterday, as my fingers were flying, I was emailing Kelly about the "heart attack feeling I had slash how much I was getting done".... immediately, Kelly called me out.
Me: i'm finally coming down from the adderal.. seriously, i need to get on this crap. i got SO MUCH done.
Kelly: I will go back to our email earlier today when you felt like you were having a heart attack!
Me: but i got so much done.. the heart attack feeling is worth it, no?
Kelly: NO… I can’t deal with you being crazels
Me: i like being crazels.
Kelly: Shove Crazels, I have ZERO time for it. Got me?
Me: omg.. you just got aggro with me.
Kelly: You know it. I know how you think…
Me: true story.. you really do.
Kelly: I can hear the wheels turning from here. I’m putting my foot down before they really get going and I need to come down there and rip the prescription out of your shaking hand!
Fast forward to this morning:
Kelly: I'm still laughing over me giving you the business over the drugs yesterday. HA! What a hypocrite I am... get a prescription but give me some!
I actually thought about it a lot last night.. I seriously got so much done. What if I had that much motivation all the time? Going to the gym would be a breeze? Writing a bunch of short stories to show KC would be done in a nanosecond. Helping out my friend with his new business venture would be a snap? I COULD DO IT ALL. At the same time, that shiz makes me go a little crazels. As a sober person, I'm already a bit of a loose nut? Is the ability to do it all worth going back to being Mayor or Crazeltown? Yo no se.
BREAKFAST: Mungbean pancake (it was in the freezer so I nuked it).
LUNCH: Some Lay's potato chips (the aderol curbed my appetite but not enough to make me resist the golden Lay's bag).
SNACK: Atkins Protein Bar (I bought a bunch when I thought I'd wake up early and start going to the gym.. the waking up early bit has happened... going to the gym is slow to start)
DINNER: So, I went to Rachel Thebault's book signing in Tribeca. Since it was so nice out, I walked home to the East Village. As I was walking home I was texting Beej and waiting for GDubbs to write me back. I was hoping he'd want to grab a bite...which, eventually he did.. after I had already walked home.. As it was 9pm and I really wasn't that hungry, I passed on the dinner and had like five rice crackers and dill dip...My goodness, half an adderal is a wicked good diet.
OMG.. how could I forget this BOX OF GOLD I found in the fridge? I totes forgot the truffles they handed out at Del Posto. I found them in the fridge and threw one back. It was beyond rich and tasty...
