Why do you have to leave the house?

Apparently it has something to do with setting a circadian rhythm. Changing clothes is also supposed to contribute.

I've run errands in my sleep clothes, when my sleep clothes are a t-shirt and yoga pants, and the errands are short and trivial and urgent.

I have a big head, but I also have a long neck. I've never thought about how I look in turtlenecks except for how they make my boobs look bigger.

Jilli, you're totally compliant.

I want argyle sweaters. I do have argyle socks.

I was talking to the new Finnish au pair at the bus stop, and asking about the midnight sun, or complete lack of sun. She said, yeah, it pretty much just sucks either way.

Remilling the crown to get a better color match. So we are looking at 5.5 hours of dental fun.

Pictures of the new glasses, Kathy?

I know the brand but not the model number, so I can't find them online right now. I'll post a pic after I find out the info from the doctor's office.

I have a pretty normal-sized head, but barely any neck at all, so if I wore a turtleneck I would look like that guy Morty from the Bazooka gum comics. My skating coach is always telling me "Long neck." and I finally said to him, "Dude, I'll try, but this is all the neck I got."

I loved the midnight sun. So! Much! Energy! Blackout drapes are a necessity, though.

Good lord, Suzi! I'm sorry. Hope it goes more quickly than they expect.

Another thing my sleep psych said (bear with me--she talks a lot, and it's on my mind) is that I need to have a peak operating time during the day. I don't. I never have. I've been just as good in the morning as in the evening as at noon. But apparently that's bad.

Video of a Deaf woman who hears her voice for the first time after cochlear implants.

That video is leaving me with all sorts of questions. There are clearly a few places in it where she has her eyes closed or her hands over her eyes, and the technician asks her a question and she answers it. Everything I've ever read about cochlear implants says that an adult who gets an implant will not be able to understand speech right away, or perhaps ever, unless they became deaf later in life, after learning the language.

Yikes,Suzi, that's a long time in the chair!

I am wearing pink, but it's the same pink I slept in and it doesn't look like I'm leaving the house today, so I don't know what to conclude about that.

I like turtlenecks in theory, but in practice I spend all day tugging on the neck to relieve the being strangled feeling they give me. Crew necks sometimes give me the same sensation.
