At the moment my new medication. When I saw my doctor on Tuesday, she replaced one of my medications with two I have been on previously.

Jesus! I’d forgotten how hard they hit while you’re getting used to them. Been sleeping lots and lots. I haven’t managed more than five or six awake for a few days. Generally it’s awake for two or three, then sleep for four or five hours.

I know my body will adjust. It did the last time I was taking these. But it’s a stepped-up medication, increasing the dose every couple of weeks until you reach the level they want you on. So just as your body adjusts to it at one level, it needs to start adjusting to another level.

I wish they’d left them alone in the first place. I never got on with the replacement, which is why they’ve switched me back. So all this for no benefit, apart from discovering I had problems with the medication they switched me to.

Idiotic drivers on the road.

I’m learning to drive, I know it can be frustrating being behind me but that is no excuse for what i’ve seen some drivers do. Today one overtook me in a 30mph zone (which I was doing) by going on the other side (which was separated by a concrete island) whilst approaching a bend and then proceeded to jump a red light. We caught up with him 2 sets of lights later. 

Its so feckin’ frustrating seeing this when you are learning.

I’ve also seen a car try and join the motorway by trying to go down the wrong slip road and cause chaos. The driver then tried to reverse and barge passed me, he didn’t succeed. 

If it makes you feel any better, somebody drove up on a curb to overtake me- how did they pass their test?!? 

Also there are some idiots who feel they have to overtake me just because I have the ‘L’ plates, I will be driving 60km in a 60 zone and they bloody have to make a big show of overtaking me, doing exaggerated loops around me….w*****s.

Today I drove at 80km/ph my fastest yet (hey shut up you, stop sniggering back there). My mam promptly told me to slow down- she’s no fun, that and she’s so bloody annoying to have next to me, particularly if I’m driving through urban zones, I can see her out of the corner of my eye pressing down on her imaginary brake and clutch and then she randomly flicks her arms out at various intervals, which is quite distracting to say the least.

That and she keeps on turning down the radio when I get in- every single time I take off, Queen starts playing and she always turns it down 

My real driving instructor said I’m doing very well though- especially because I’m driving a beast of a car!

Do you have your own car mmm? Or do you use your instructor’s car?

IT HASN’T STOPPED RAINING SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND IT’S SO BLOODY WINDY!!!!

My Dad is at somebody’s house right now because the river next to yer man’s house breached its banks, so now my dad and him are trying to pump water of the house- poor fella.

I was driving to the main town today and as I was going slowly through a flood on a corner, some f**ker on the opposite side sped past me and threw water up on my windshield, I was lucky I didn’t go onto the other side of the road and get whacked by the oncoming car.

Also the wind was constantly trying to pull me over onto the right side of the road. 

 

And as regards AD40’s question, don’t you have to be around 21 and have your full licence to be allowed to rent a car from the majority of companies? That and you have to pay extra to rent because you’re under 25 (it’s under 23 in Ireland, cause we’re great, so don’t visit the UK, go to Ireland- t’is/’tis much cooler- that and you can just visit Northern Ireland and that’s the UK ticked off your list >.>).

And when I woke up this morning it was lovely and sunny – I blame global warming 

The man whose house my dad was trying to save- was pretty much wrecked. All of the ground floor is f**ked. Damn nature
