Seriously, Universe, could you give the PixDesigns a break? I think they've more than earned it at this point.
This. THIS. PAY ATTENTION, UNIVERSE, AND START BEHAVING YOURSELF.
Trudy, I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need those Docs.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jilli, you don't need those Docs.
You might need the Mary Jane, however.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Seska, may the process of getting your house into accessible shape for you be the opposite of the buying process - surprisingly smooth and efficient.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Speaking of medical issues....
This morning Andrea accompanied me to the doctor to hear the results of my sleep study two weeks ago.
The bottom line of it is that my results set off alarm bells. Apparently I'm one of the worst sleepers they've ever seen.
He showed us charts and things that I will let Andrea describe, but essentially I'm not getting enough air.
At one point there were 40 second gaps in my breathing.
Scary, but really? Explains a lot about my general tiredness and lethargy the last few years.
So, next Tuesday night? Hospital overnight 30 miles from here.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
The friend I know who had similar news and got a CPAP machine has felt SO MUCH BETTER since she did. I'm glad they've diagnosed you DCJ and hope they get you set up with affordable help ASAP.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yikes, D! But good for you moving forward on getting diagnosis and treatment that can help you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Eep, DCJ. Hope the next sleep study can pinpoint the cause and suggest treatment.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've known several people who slept much better with CPAP machines.
Oof. After a while at home in the air conditioning, I'm not feeling much better. I really hope I'm not coming down with something. At least tomorrow is a relatively easy day, and then I don't teach on Thursday.

CPAPs are terrific, but now I'm afraid my body's been trained to not sleep without one.

"You're not fucking sleeping" as as clear an explaination as I've ever heard!
