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.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.
