Antsy pantsy

I took a Claritin D this morning, hoping it would help with my cold/allergies/whatever. It did, more or less, but now I'm high as hell. I can't sit still, my head is buzzing, I feel like talktalktalking at blazing speeds, and my eyes are vibrating in their sockets. Seriously. Decongestants do this to me. It's kind of interesting and annoying at the same time.

Also, it's the last day for one of my coworkers, and I just want to get out of here so we can celebrate/commiserate with some fried foods and cheap booze. I will miss him lots. His office is right across from mine, and he has a couch, so I go over there at least once a day for a chat and the latest gossip. He was my first boss, too, when I started as a freelancer here, and he is much wiser in the ways of the working world than I (since I spent most of my 20s in a highly insular and tiny nonprofit), and so I've always turned to him first for advice. I trust him, and I'll miss him.

So, those two things added together make it very difficult to concentrate. Instead, I want to go across the street to the park and run around in the fountain and swing on the swings. Maybe I will. Why the hell not?
