Life's bumps and Adderall


Day 18! (of taking adderall for adult add) -

Yesterday I experienced some minor bumps on life's road; you know, those irritating glitches that can sidetrack the best laid-plans. And if you have ADD, these just add to the difficulty of trying to keep going.

AS soon as I got out of bed, it was clear that I had some sort of bug. Staggering to the bathroom, the sound of rushing water greeted me. The bathtub faucet was flowing, and when I tried to turn it off, the flow became a torrent and would not stop. Then, a glance in the mirror revealed really, ugly stains on ALL my teeth...seriously, all in the space of five minutes and I had to laugh. What the hell?!

By day's end, I had seen a doctor/paid a ridiculous amount of $ to a plumber/had my teeth polished (stains a result of a mouth rinse they had given me a week earlier).
All the bumps smoothed out...

Did I manage to salvage some of the day's grand plans - with my new and improved abilities on the attention deficit medication?!

Not really - I managed a laugh or two...these are really minor and no big deal...and that is just how I would have responded pre-med. I did not attempt much, though I did try. Guess sick/bummy days are just that.

Though I was kind of hoping for superhero powers...K
