ok...now where was I?
Oh yeah, off the Effexor and doing fine except for one extremely annoying symptom, the God awful insomnia!
My spouse has been working out of the country, nearly EVERY week, Monday-Friday. So at first I was thinking, as I'm wide awake at 2 A.M. , "man ,I can't sleep when you're gone."
That made no sense. I was home alone in America for months at a time, I slept like a baby.
Well, also home in America, I drink caffeine free diet coke, they do not have that here, AT ALL. So I had switched to Pepsi Max (just because it tasted better than the "coke light" ) That is what I've been drinking for months.
Well ,one day , I dragged my exhausted ass out of bed, after being awake half the night and went out to run my errands.
Here in Denmark it is RARE to find a place where you can buy yourself a nice fountain drink, to go.
So as I grab a 16 ounce bottle of lukewarm pepsi max, I notice, for the first time ever, these words “maximum kick, no sugar"
I thought to my exhausted self, OMG, I wonder if there is extra caffeine in this shit?
Of course I googled it up as soon as I got home, imagine my surprise when I saw this:
"The Max Factor
In addition to being a zero calorie soft drink, Pepsi Max
is also marketed for its increased caffeine content and the addition of ginseng,
both of which give it the appeal of an energy drink. In comparison to the 38 mg
of caffeine in regular Pepsi, there’s 69 mg of caffeine in Pepsi Max."
Now, I'm having to wean myself off my extreme caffeine over dosage, am I feeling like a bee-otch? Why yes, yes I am. Senile? Yes, feeling that too. Shaking my head.
Hey, I said it was stupid, not exciting :)

Well, let me see .....what else is new since I haven't been blogging.
I have been spending my spare time going to flea markets and yard sales, (great fun! ) however ,now that it's about to be freezing ass cold, those are about to end. :((
I have tired to offer myself up as a volunteer, and since I do not speak Danish I have been rejected like the plague. Then, as fate would have it, this co-worker of hubby's asked me if I would be willing to help his daughter with her English.
All Danish kids take English in school starting about 4th grade(maybe)
I'm still in the discovery stage. I go meet her once a week and give her things to do in English, during the coming week.Then we discuss it all ,when I meet with her.
Oh, she will be 15 tomorrow so it's not like I'm starting from scratch. (Thank God)
So, we'll see how that goes.
Cavuto has begun licking his stomach bald once again. This time I think it's because O'Reilly keeps beating him up.
Picture it: the middle of the night, Cavuto is out prowling the house hunting for bugs or whatever, he starts his loud howling . Meanwhile, O'Reilly is lying next to us on the bed. First he wakes up, lifts up his head and listens ,then he gets all huffy, storms out there ...and the next sound we hear is Cavuto squeaking because O'Reilly has just pinned him down and started biting him.He is stifling that poor baby's personality. I don't know what to do about it ..except off to the vet for another steroid shot for Cavuto.Or maybe I'll start spanking O'Reilly. LOL
Tonight we have an entire Chinese family coming over for dinner. My little friend TingTing is bringing her hubby, Mom and baby . So, I must get busy. My spouse was home all weekend and we were trapped here because there's a screw in one of the tires.(meaning ,yes, the house is a sty)
Happy Monday Peeps!
Love me
