Killing time

These painkillers are paying merry hell with my sleep pattern. They don't leave me feeling too great, either. They dull the pain (most of the time) but leave me incapable of doing very much at all. And I really don't like how fuzzy and lethargic they make me feel. I really can't understand why people would want to use opiates as a recreational drug - being dosed up doesn't feel like recreation, it's just debilitating.

Plus they make me drowsy but I can't sleep more than two or three hours in a row. So, I'm sitting here at gone four in the morning, drinking tea, talking to the cat and lazily scanning the internet until it's time for my next dose and then I can maybe get some sleep.

That's a big "maybe".
