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."
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
the midnight sun, or complete lack of sun. She said, yeah, it pretty much just sucks either way.
I loved the midnight sun. So! Much! Energy! Blackout drapes are a necessity, though.

So we are looking at 5.5 hours of dental fun.
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.

I did not wear pink.
But I did trick grace's doc into telling us how much longer we have to do this by mentioning Grace is desperate to swim.

Oh man, you guys. Can I brain dump for a moment?
I'll delete some or all of this shortly, but I need to say it to *somebody* just to get it out. Feel free to TLDR.
I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster (OF DOOOM...) and man, I just want it to stop.

Hil,
apparently she was not totally Deaf when she was born and was wearing a hearing aid at age 2.
