I got home a little earlier than expected last night. I had a big list of stuff I wanted to get done: feed the cats, take my meds, fold laundry, scoop the litterboxes, subq the cat, do a load of dishes, edit an important letter I need to send soon, divide a roast into serving-size containers, and test some handsets for work.

Start at the beginning, right? With cats all locked away with their separate special diets, I took the "evening" portion of my meds. There's not enough space in the pill minder to separate "evening" from "bedtime", so I picked out the ones I needed.

I now realize just how much hydroxychloroquine (generic for Plaquenil) resembles Zolpidem (generic for Ambien).

I did manage to get into the bedroom. By crawling.

If only you could find some way to learn the same cooking skills, but locally...

Oh, well.

Hmmm, anti-malarial. I recall that a long-term side effect of quinine is hearing loss. (Random trivia researched for an old role-playing character with Addiction: Quinine.) I guess this one isn't quinine-based but still goes after a sensory organ. Wacky.

Edit: And then I actually looked at the name and see that it ends in "quine". My reading comprehension skills are really diving these days.

It's the synthetic, but the recent versions aren't as toxic to body parts as earlier versions.
