Steps Forward and Steps Back

After a few months on a new medication, Shannon has reported decreased anxiety, better sleep, and fewer mood swings. I really miss her in college, but she seems to be doing okay without me (probably because she has her maddeningly adorable and perfect boyfriend).

Since it's Shannon, however, her medicine has some pretty ridiculous side effects. When she first started taking her medicine, it made her really, really drowsy. That passed just in time for her to start having blurry vision (she has to wear glasses now. Of course she doesn't look even a little bit ugly, that bitch.).

It also made her hair start falling out. Her main problem with this, since she isn't shallow like me, is that it was clogging up her hairbrush and shower drain.

Still, I think the side effects must be worth it. Being bald and wearing glasses are still better than being crazy.
