A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Trazadone made me a zombie, literally staggering around like the shuffling undead. Just....stupid and slow and TIRED.

Yet it didn't PUT ME ASLEEP. I still had insomnia, but I also had a sedative drug in my system. It was awful. Horrible.

Happily, ION I just had leftover roasted cauliflower from last night and it was so YUM. And I have a pot roast in the crock pot and may make a cobbler. Plus, I have rocked out on my article today. SNOW DAY WIN.

Also, it's still snowing here. I am (ever so) gently starting to entertain the possibility that there might...also be a snow day tomorrow. Maybe.

(Don't jinx it!)

Thanks, P-C.

And hey, btw, did you ever get to read that book I sent you?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Came home sick. Lord, I hope it's just a cold, but I'm worried it's flu or strep. It came on pretty fast, my throat is very sore, I feel like I have a fever (battery dead in thermometer). Hope I'm just being paranoid. And no, I didn't get a flu shot yet, mostly due to those two courses of prednisone. Uggh. My strategy with getting sick is come home before I'm totally miserable, on the theory that I'm probably most contagious and the hope that if I rest a lot at the beginning I'll be sick a shorter amount of time. Idk.

Coincidentally, just found out that because of abuses, we're only going to get 4 hrs sick time a month instead of 8, but now I get two weeks vacation time, so I guess it balances out.

Oh, and my coworker was fired this morning. He smelled it coming weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't fired for the reason he thinks.

I haven't yet, but I will! Just got to find the right time/mood. It seems like a serious read.

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

Erin, that's precisely my trazadone experience. I was terribly unrested in the morning, but too fucked up to drive. It was lose lose. Also, my headaches got worse.

Poor smonster. {{}} feel better, indeed.

And that's cool, P-C. I just wonder about your thoughts of it, once you'll find the time.

Wishing you a quick recovery, smonster.

Maybe I'll read it after I finish The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. And The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, which will be a nice, fun transition piece.

Looked in the mirror with a flashlight, saw white spots, called doc, in waiting room.

Thanks for the ~ma.
