My nerve block is done. All hail the greater and lesser occipital nerves. Bilaterally.

OK, what is a nerve block?

What's the best way to ease digestion of a too large meal? I almost never overeat, so I'm not sure how that works. Lie down?

Lying down is the time-honored traditional way. Maybe not flat on your back, though. At least if you're me. This is why god invented recliners, I figure.

Whew, I'm glad I dind't have to do it!

I am getting all confuzzled among my kats.

Just do it, chica. Excuses are for chicas.

They've injected long-acting painkillers into my nerves. It remains to be seen how long the effect lasts -- days or weeks. I'm leaning back on it now, and it just feels weird. I may have to lie on my side.

Oprah's just a weird interviewer. She has no structure, and there are way too many reaction shots. However, there's a whole lot of cute onscreen.

And, also, WRT Oprah....Jake is pretty charming. Even if he did knock out Peter Sarsgaard.

The Baltimore school system is....fucked up. There was one super in recent years who is hiding out in Florida now. Or was. Not sure if she got charged or what. Then there was the year the teachers got to vote on whether to take a 10% layoff, 10 day furlough for all staff or...I think it was a pay cut. And someone has been embezzling lately. I think. I'm a little fuzzy on the details. That's not even counting the sorry state of the physical infrastructure.

The romans reclined during their food orgies. They also puked, but I don't think you are interested in going there. At least, that's what they taught us in sixth grade.

All gods help me. I got sarameg's last post.

Cup of tea, ita? Black if you can take it without milk.

ita, peppermint tea (or water with peppermint extract in it) usually works for me. But I think peppermint is a road trip to migraines for you.

It is done. I will claim Gus as my inspiration.

Yay, Kat! How are you?
