Like maybe getting dressed.

Again, overrated. Unless you REALLY need to confront the world outside your front door.

And by the way, Juliana is EXTRA SUPER awesome at taking care of people.

And Consuela (and Laura Shapiro) are very good at soup and bread and conversation.

Again, overrated. Unless you REALLY need to confront the world outside your front door.

I was thinking I might go for a little tiny walk, just around the neighborhood, to get the blood flowing.

Blood flowing is good! But you barely need to get dressed for that.

Go for it, Perkins. The stir-crazy sets in fast. Just take your phone.

Ummm. There are $25 C-clamps, aren't they? [link]

I could stay in inside pants!

eta:

Just take your phone.

I can do that!

I am only good at taking care of people because I am bossy. And blood flowing is good. Just don't lift anything heavy.

And yes, Ginger, those are C-clamps painted with ironwork black and sold for $25. On the plus side, that gives me a home decor Idea.

Cravings I can see, as there's now a physical part of that other person inside the recipient and you'd expect maybe the interaction with foreign genetics to change tastes and the like. But purely mental changes when it's not brain tissue at issue is pretty freaky.

I think there are neurons in other parts of the body. I don't know this for sure. That could make sense though, you know, if its true.

But those are hand-cast iron $25 c-clamps!

Holy crap. There is (A) Waaaaay more stuff in the garage of the ex's than I thought. I'm going to have her husband look at it when he is down in October, and tell him that if there is anything they want, he needs to mark it and make arrangements to have someone take it and store it elsewhere, cause I'm going to sell what saleable, and then chuck the rest. Probably not all at once, since there is SO MUCH OF IT, but I would like to have enough room in the garage for a car this winter.

Also, I have cleaned out and rearranged the kitchen pantry and my bedroom closet. Someone please tell me why my darling husband owns 8 hampers and laundry baskets, 3 of which are in our bedroom? CRAIGSLIST/FREECYCLE.

ita, I am glad you are seeing a sleep specialist, but I can tell you, the first thing they will have you do is do a sleep study. Within your system, try to research your specialist as much as you can, and definitely ask what the study will be looking for. Start keeping a sleep log now (there are examples on-line) as this may chop a big ol' chunk of time off the solvation process.

If you don't have one, establish a sleep ritual and examine your sleep hygiene (look it up if you don't already know.) One of the first things they will rec is 2 hours TV, computer, any kind of monitor-free before bed.

IJS.
