I had my first therapy appointment in almost a month. It went well, mostly catching up on the past several weeks. I'm in a much better place than the last time I saw my therapist. She was very glad to see the improvement. She will also be arranging for me to switch my primary care over to the Cambridge Health Alliance, however I will be seeing a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I will give it a try.

Before I got on the bus, I stopped by Brooks Pharmacy. I saw a new product at the counter: Jolt Gum. I picked up a pack to try it.

I caught the 77 and to my surprise there all the seats were upholstered. Soft, slightly fuzzy, and cushy. An MBTA bus with comfortable seats, who'd have thought it would come to pass. I have a feeling the bus was an anomaly, but it would be nice if it were a sign of the future.

Back at home, I popped in a couple pieces of the Jolt Gum. Wow! Some of the caffeine absorbs sublingually, so it hits immediately. I started chewing about an hour ago and I'm still wired. I love this stuff. It's essentially chewing crack. Furthermore, it's cheaper than buying caffeinated beverages: the gum equivalent of 6 cups of coffee costs $1.30. I'm definitely getting more.
