Mostly lurking...

I wish I felt the biofeedback were doing more.

I felt the same way when I was doing biofeedback. I was a champ at it...could raise and lower my temp, etc. But, it did nothing for my headaches. So frustrating. I hope you have better luck.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Beautiful haircut, Theodosia!!

Can you call about the appointment, ita? And do you know what the average length of time is that resuls manifest themselves in biofeedback? I'm clueless about the whole thing, so I don't know if they take some time or not.

In mememe news, I got up at 6:45 to get my laundry started before I head off to work, and ended up with six loads of wash (and two shirts that couldn't fit into those loads, so they'll have to wait until the next laundry day). Unfortunately, only two dryers are working right now, so the last batch of clothes will probably end up on the drying racks in my apartment so I can head off to work on time. At least those will mostly be workout and lounge-around-the-apartment clothes, so wrinkles won't make much difference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're pretty much me. If I catch myself way at the beginning, it might work, or if I catch myself about to get the sort of tense that'll bring one on, I use it pretty successfully. But if there's already pain worth noticing, I'm fucked.

Can you call about the appointment, ita?

Their phone system is kerfucked. I can either call the doctor directly (how weird is that?) or the automated service that bounces me around. I don't have the number to the actual desk where I check in. Can't find it. But I'll have to try.

And do you know what the average length of time is that resuls manifest themselves in biofeedback?

Not sure. I also have to say that his assertions of "live with it, lose the bitterness" are good, and I do try and follow them, but I'm also insanely excited about the nerve block that happens in one week, so I'm not quite (even nearly) zen.

For the record: Snuffleupagus -- bronze; one of the Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip muppets -- silver; and in a stunning turn of events, the gold medal went to....GUY SMILEY!!!!!

That's only because it was daytime and Puppet Angel wasn't there to kick their asses. Speaking of which, what would have happened to Puppet Angel in direct sunlight?

Somebody tell Frankenbuddha that it's really Friday now. He's not imagining it.

Oddly enough, today feels more like a Thursday. I can live with that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Part of my brain thinks it's Tuesday. I'm trying to come up with ways to punish that part.

Señor Sock looks a lot like my childhood cat. Even the nose blotch! (His was only half, with pink on one side and a beauty mark right next to the pink.)

How sad is it that today I woke up thinking it was Saturday? On a four day week?

Uhg.

So you want to be hyper-aware it's Friday rather than be pleasantly surprised at the end of the day?

More like I just want to make it to the end of the day with a minimum of... unpleasantness.

5:00 on Friday is like a golden beacon of hope, giving me strength to make it through the day. Unlike 5:00 on Tuesday, which is more like a mangy donkey.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I wonder if I have any fun clothes left to wear that are also clean. Maybe I can find something blue, and then wear my turquise chucks.

I did go back to bed, msbelle, eventually.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm at work, and the buzz of the floor is that the Blackberry network is due to be shut down. We've googled for news, but the only thing we can find so far is that a judge is going to decide, soon.
