and I know I could be more clever

My name is Matty and I'm 15. I love soccer, video games, and my best friends Zeke and Cameron.

I think I’ve baked too much. Anybody want some free cookies, brownies, and/or cake? Ooh! I’ve also got some cupcakes.

[sunshinematty]

Yes, please! Oh my god, I love baked goods more than life.

"No no no no no—" Cameron cringed, breathing out a curse word. "You really shouldn’t have eaten that."

[sunshinematty]

Matty quirked an eyebrow, his cheeks stuffed full like a hamster's as he chewed. "Huh?"

[silentlittlesydney]

I just wrote a Christmas song!

I can’t wait to share it with people.

[sunshinematty]

I didn't know you wrote music!! That's awesome!

[zeke-lynn-blog]

I was meant to come home at the end of the week but uh...surprise?

[sunshinematty]

ZEKE!!!!!!

[zeke-lynn-blog]

There's literally nothing better than scoring a goal.

[sunshinematty]

I agree--it's the best!

Except maybe playing with really cute puppies. That's pretty awesome, too.

[sunshinematty]

I hate this so much.

[silentlittlesydney]

Why are you on medication?

[sunshinematty]

My ADHD. I don't think I could get through school without it.

[sunshinematty]

I hate this so much.

[campbellcommaaustin]

  What are you taking? Is it for ADHD?

[sunshinematty]

Yeah, it is--it's Ritalin.

[sunshinematty]

I hate this so much.

  Then tell your doctor so you can try a new kind of medication.

[sunshinematty]

I have a follow-up next week, so I'm gonna tell her then. But I've been doing a lot better at school since I went on this one, so I don't know how eager my parents will be to switch me off it.

[sunshinematty]

I hate this so much.

[jayjay-chang-blog]

How long have you been taking it for?

[sunshinematty]

A little over a month.

[sunshinematty]

I hate this so much.

This new medication makes my brain feel all fuzzy, plus I get really bad headaches now. And I find myself getting super agitated sometimes--I'm not normally irritable but it's a side effect, I guess. I don't think being able to focus better in school is worth feeling so crappy all the time.

Adjusting to new meds is hard.

[spencersimagination-blog]

I’m pretty sure there’s caffeine in chocolate, hun.  Warm milk?

[sunshinematty]

That might be a better idea.

[sunshinematty]

Adjusting to new meds is hard.

[spencersimagination-blog]

Drink something warm, babe.  Tea, maybe?

[sunshinematty]

I don't like tea. And caffeine isn't a good thing to have with these meds. Maybe my mom will make me some hot chocolate.

[sunshinematty]

Adjusting to new meds is hard.

[spencersimagination-blog]

You should rest, babe.  Maybe a nap might help?

[sunshinematty]

Maybe...if I can even fall asleep.

[sunshinematty]

Adjusting to new meds is hard.

[spencersimagination-blog]

Awwh, hun…have you tried ginger ale?

[sunshinematty]

Uh-huh. It doesn't help my headache, though. Just the nausea a little.

[sunshinematty]

Adjusting to new meds is hard.

I feel super sick.

[sunshinematty]

Found a princess to dance with me! I love my friends.
