9th day sober. I'd gone and run around and gotten all that stuff yesterday, to include melatonin drops and took a normal dose, 30 drops to make 3mg before bed and didn't feel sleepy so took 15 more, and didn't sleep worth a damn. It's a weird sleep, where I'm having dreams yet it's like I'm still awake, hearing the industrial sounds around here which normally, frankly, lull me to sleep.
Dreams like I/we were supposed to meet my Mom at our old Punalu'u place and be sure to ring the bell on the bus to stop in time but somehow the bus driver (who was kind of a crab) drove us up by Kualoa and zoomed around the parking area which was partially dirt-paved (it's not in real life) and was turning around to take a loop around Punalu'u after all....
I have to suspect this sleep trouble has something to do with liver damage. With next to no access to health care, all I can do is stay off the sauce and wait and see if things get better.
I had my vitamins and some almonds and checked up on Ebay, pretty soon it was time to go over to Berger Auditorium for my 2nd shot. Traffic was heavy going over there of course because it was for 2:35 in the afternoon. The line was longer too. I filled out a 2nd consent form and got in line, and it actually moved along OK.
Pretty soon we were going through the twisty passages inside the building and to where we actually get the shots. I got a nice Indian lady who wiped my arm down very thoroughly, scrubbed it really, had me relax and before I knew it, zip! the shot was done. Kind of the way a wasp or hornet can inject you super quick. It was painless. Even now, hours later, my arm's only a little sore. I guess when you're doing 1000s of vaccinations you get kinda good at it.
It was really hot and I decided to just do some shopping at H Mart and call it a day as far as going out goes. I got sashimi and TP and routine things, and came back here and had sashimi and the last bit of my last O'Doul's and some pickles.
Pretty soon a guy who'd bought three things on Ebay just wanted to pick them up, and that actually went pretty easily. I packed a few things and after a while he called and was right outside the door and I just took his three things in a box out to him. A bit over a $1000 sale and then he didn't even sweat the normal shipping charges so we "made" those too.
