A Change of Hands

Today I have a little treat in store for you all- I decided to let my fiancé guest post here. Alls fair in love and war, and since I poke fun at him constantly I figured he deserved to get in some digs publicly as well. I remind you, I’m currently taking ambien so I refuse to acknowledge accountability for my actions. When you’re finished having a good laugh at my expense, don’t forget to enter to win a starbucks prize pack!

Hi there, I’m Chris Wardzala, and you may know me from such films as “I’m Maggie’s Fiancee,” and “chriswardzala.com.” Today I would like to talk to you about drug use.  Not the scary kind where you get addicted and all whacked out, but I mean the fun kind.  The use of prescribed medication.

You’ve all head about my fun times of incoherently talking in my sleep, about random pretzel adventures and the like.  But today I flip the coin, and we talk about Maggie and her use of a sleep aid.

This morning, Maggie and I both left the house at the same time, so we rode the bus together.  On our way out the door, Cady, our cat, escaped.  She ran a bit down the hallway, but we caught her fairly quickly.  While chasing her down, Maggie exclaimed, “YOU BITCH! I’M GONNA TURN YOU INTO A HANDBAG!” I thought this was a little extreme, but whatever. While I was wrangling Cady back into the apartment, the elevator arrived, and the door opened with a man inside.  He looked at Maggie, and she just stared at him.  He looked extremely uncomfortable, and the door closed on him without Maggie getting inside.  I closed our door, and called the next elevator.  Maggie was now talking again. We went down the elevator to catch the bus.

A few buses were coming, and Maggie for some reason really insisted that we get on all of them that were really packed.  It was kind of weird how stubborn she was being about it. (This will all make sense in a bit, I swear.)

The final weird thing that happened was on the way to work, she was saying how sluggish she felt, and how weird she was feeling.

“I’m almost too tired.”

Her: “I feel drugged.”

Me: “You are.”

Her: “Oh.”

The final bit that really made me suspect something weird was when she mentioned how much she felt like a zombie, asked me for my brains, and then let out a rather loud zombie moan on the bus.  A lady sitting near us then took that moment to move far away.

Maggie then left the bus, and I went to work.

On our way home, I asked her about how much of the bus she remembered.  She really didn’t remember much, and thats when I began to clue her in.  She began to laugh, and I think I got a few tears out of her as well, because honestly, she says some pretty funny stuff.

I can’t wait to hear what craziness awaits me tomorrow.

Hahaha next time she takes it make her stay awake you will have even better stories.

That is hilarious! I love hearing these drugged stories.

Oh Maggie. I think we need to do an intervention with the kitties. They’re worried about her. And, I would give ANYTHING to hear her scream that at one of your cats. Seriously.

Hahahaha I love that you just stared at the man in the elevator. Also, what exactly does a zombie moan sound like?

My roommate sophomore year of college took ambien and when I would come home from the library at night she would pop up in bed, mumble some nonsense about where I was and what flowers she liked, and the go back to sleep. No recollection of it in the morning.

HAHAHA nice. All of this actually falls under maggie`s mo though. One, would have killed Cady. Two, would have killed man in elevator. Three, would have killed you for opening your mouth. But its absolutely hilarious that even while somewhat sleepwalking, she acts exactly the same.

A zombie moan?! Awesome!

Dude. Fuck Ambien. I took it for the first time last night and have been projectile vomiting since 3am. And crying. Apparently it makes me cry too?

Wtf.

Ambien is insane.
I took it for a brief period of time about three years ago and would wake up in the bathroom not remembering how I got there. Or was convinced the room was spinning so had to use MY HANDS to walk along the wall with. Or suddenly woke up HUNGRY and THIRSTY and it wouldn’t stop.

I woke up feeling hungover, exhausted and totally not myself.

Tylenol PM on the other hand is not quite so bad, though I’m sure you’ve already tried that.

I vote for the 2 or 3 benadryl approach, or the Tylenol PM ( a very similar drug family member to the benadryl). They too can make you feel groggy in the AM but are far less likely to cause psychosis! :)

I gave this to Heather one night to help her sleep and stayed up all night worring that she would not wake up. She kept telling me all the stuff on her dresser was floating around and that she loved the 8 tv in her room.

Me in a nutshell



I'm just a 20-something girl who can't decide where I want to live. I moved from Pittsburgh to Chicago and back in a 2 year span. I'm a fianceé, a lover of celebrity gossip, a wannabe baking diva, a kitty mama, a VW driver, and a die hard Penguins fan.
