Couldn't get to sleep last night because Thursday night  I took Nyquil and my body likes to do Instant Addict ie if I take something that makes me sleep one night, even as a byproduct, next night I'm stuck with a sulking 'more more more said the baby' scenario. So got up and read one-eyed until past two and eventually fell asleep, only to have a queasy-making semi-nightmare where I was in some kind of ethnic supermarket and met the Little Girls' mother, whose hair had gone silvery because she had cancer and was having treatment. Followed by the usual frustration dream topos of not being able to make my phone work, not being able to buy the cake I needed to, not being able to find my wallet etc etc.

Blawblaws pharmacy doesn't have braces or tensor bandages for reasons best known to itself. Doesn't have any form of Tylenol either, for reasons I once knew and have forgotten. My endeavour is to *avoid* Tylenol, which is damned difficult because it's in everything, and always exta-strength. My sinuses stay blocked because Sinutabs have acetaminophen. I have to separate my Robaxacet muscle relaxants because they have acetaminophen. I once found pure methocarbamol, the relaxant component, last year but never since. Now it's take a turkey skewer and try to prise the white bit off the green bit without making it shatter into powder. Annoying.

In any case I got to the independent pharmacy at Bathurst and they had ankle braces. Or ankle brace, single, in an M size. Sounded like it might fit so bought it, but of course it would fit an unbloated foot. When it first got cold my ankles did unswell, but though it continues chilly, I have pudgy feet again and weight has gone up. Water pills, encore une fois. And stay in tomorrow.
