Buffistas have interesting lives. I cannot keep up. Um, Suzi got a raise, this is good! Teppy's back is hurting again, but seems to be easily fixable, that's a relief. sj didn't get the place she wanted, that sucks! Daniel burned himself, ouch! No blisters! What else? Oh, and flexeril hatesss me. Anyone want the rest of my prescription? I'm sure the postal service and the Feds won't mind if I mail it to you.
Former-Jilli reminds me of a girl I knew years ago in Nashville. Incredibly beautiful, very Goth. Unlike Jilli, somewhat nuts. I like Current-Jilli. Less intimidating. Also, what Laura said.
In me news, after seeing the photos from Prom, I'm on a diet for reals. No sugar, no wheat, lots of protein. Have lost four pounds. This weekend, I may even exercise! Whoa.
I'm glad that Suzi got a raise, and that Teppy's pain is in the easily treated category.
The fun thing about extended release versions of ADD meds is that the "crash" often comes while you are sleeping, and even if it doesn't, it is way milder than the regular stuff.
Does anyone know anyone who has had one of those implanted pain blocker devices, that uses electrical impulses to interfere with pain impulses in the nerves? Hubby's pain specialist has mentioned them, and I'm a little twitchy.
I've worked with clients who had a device called a Vagus Nerve Stimulator implanted to control seizures. It did wonders for them, with easily tolerable side effects. It was implanted in the shoulder, an electrode run up into the neck and attached to the vagus nerve where it nestles between the carotid artery and the jugular vein - needed a good vascular surgeon to do the job, but basically it's not a tough procedure. Generally done on out-patient basis, pain control for the procedure itself involved ice packs rather than meds. It works by sending an electromagnetic pulse at intervals to prevent seizure activity, and could be used between intervals to stop seizures. Last I had heard anything about it, it had also been used to successfully treat depression and was being studied for possible use to reduce appetite in obese patients. Is this the same thing? If so, amazing device, I'm a huge fan. If it's just a somewhat similar thing, I'd still be a big cheerleader for you and your hubby getting more info. It could very likely make a huge difference in your lives.
I consider my food poisoning this week a diet jump start. What? I can't have silver linings?
I had to google, because I had no clue who she was. But I can kinda see that.

Jo, on Supernatural. All brain roads lead to Sam and Dean, remember?
Oh, sure, Veronica Mars Brain! Think of her as Meg!
Ahhhh, a great afternoon to cap a much better than the rest of the week type day.
- K-Bug's team won (15-0 in 3 innings).
- Warriors won (ok, not a basketball fan, but am excited in a "support your local team" kind of way)
- A's won (we were there, FREEZING to the last out)
More A's tomorrow...and homework. But I'm planning on playing before working. I'm so bad.
Still bouncy about the raise (thanks for all the YAY). I won't see it for a month, but at the moment that is fine.
(This post brought to you by the letters Y-A-Y and the paranthetical remark.)
# A's won (we were there, FREEZING to the last out)
Jack Cust! Between him and DJ and Swish, we now have some actual power.
Daniel! Ouch!
Emmett went a little nuts with the camera just now.
Ok. I just love this. Captures how much can change in short periods of time. So fun!
I’m so pleased Suzi had a good day. It was about damn time!
All brain roads lead to Sam and Dean, remember?
Not a bad road to be on.
Morning Bitches! I work today and it suuuuucks.
Poor Ailleann! That's not fair.
