Punishingly Intricate

Gah. I got to take the trash out, and Mister Kitty does what he never does: shoves open the screen door and bolts out. By the time I extricate myself from the trash cans, he's two houses down and Loki has dove deep into the wild postage stamp. Sheesh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Trudy, I just got diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia and started taking iron. Even though it will take a couple of months to get my iron to good levels, I can already tell a difference. It used to be at 4:30 or 5, I literally could not keep my eyes open and would crash for about 45 minutes. I still get tired, but not like that. It's amazing what a difference it makes.

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

Just don't start lying to people (above or below you in the chain) to (try to) make yourself look better. I think that's the fatal error of a lot of my bosses.
Ha! My boss does this all the time. He is currently doing it about something that I think will get him in the deepest of shit if it's found out. Actually I think he's lying about something he hasn't done, blaming the big, big, big boss on it being delayed, and counting on the fact that noone is going to bother the big, big, big boss for it.
woohoo, I lack ambition. I AM THE BEST!
Me too! Wheee!

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

My bus smells like feet. Or stinky cheese. Or stinky feet cheese.
That is all.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Today included working from home, maintenance installing new CO alarms and putting in a new air filter, then out into the cold to see the dentist.
Gahhhh, I hate the dentist. I wasn't smart enough to take my Lorazapam before hand to stave off an anxiety attack. I'm home and I'm still shaking.
As for the Trazadone, it has worked for me. I was on generic ambien before and while it helped me fall asleep better, I would wake up a bunch during the night. The first while on Trazadone I felt like I slept but I also felt aware instead of deep asleep. It doesn't feel like that anymore, but I can't say how long it took for the deep sleep. Now when I have insomnia issues it is because I didn't follow my usual routine or I took the meds and didn't try to sleep within a half hour. I can't imagine taking it 3 hours before bedtime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She says taking it three hours before bedtime will help the fogginess in the morning. Obviously Ambien wasn't perfect, but I prefer waking up to not falling asleep for four plus hours. But the feeling like shit in the morning can't go on, not if I can't drive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
extended use of Seche made my nails peel like crazy.
This happens to me with any nail polish that has formaldehyde in it. It takes months for the damage to grow out.

I started taking a seaweed supplement for iodine, and it has made such a difference in my mood and my ability to stay awake all day, almost from the first day.
ita, I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this unhelpful crap from your doctors. Anti-helpful, even.
