I must report that the mini-cupcakes of the pumpkin-gingerchip variety make an excellent breakfast along with some trader joe's pumpkin creamcheese. Oddly, they taste like apple spice cupcakes/muffins, even though there is no apple in them. But they are quite delicious.

Now if only they also magically made my headache go away...argh. Anyone have magic solutions to make me stop clenching my jaw in the night? I have a biteguard thing from the dentist, which should (if I wore it all the time) stop my teeth from falling apart, but doesn't stop the crazy muscle tension and headache in the morning...

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

ION, I can no longer stand in long lines without pain: just got back from my free flu shot. Almost an hour in the line my back and my feet tell me that they would rather have the flu.

This why all I wear anymore is these: [link] They are wicked pricey, but they last forever. AND NO MORE FOOT OR BACKACHES!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently the only answer is crazy muscle relaxants. Which I have not pursued myself, but do wonder about.

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

So did you guys see the story about the bearded Sikh woman that a redditor snuck a photo of and then proceeded to post on reddit and a bunch of people mocked her? And then she was pointed to it, and she gave a lovely "the outside doesn't matter, I'm working on my insides" speech, which prompted the redditor in question to say he'd been a shithead, and reddit isn't about that, and he apologises to her and to reddit for being crappy on it and to Sikhs in general.

It's all kind of amazing...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, that was an awesome story.

It was great. I was really interested to see a woman wearing the turban, too -- that's not common, I don't think.

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

Yeah, that story definitely shocked and surprised me in a good way, ita!!

Jesse, I have a lot of flexeril from my migraine doc (who at one point gave me a scrip for 30 of them every month....after I filled it a couple times I just stopped because I had so many!). But taking them at night makes me groggy in the morning (and only is vaguely helpful with the clenching)...but taking the other muscle relaxant I have doesn't seem to help at all. Boo, self. I was hoping acupuncture would help, but while it felt lovely to nap with needles in me (no really! very relaxing!) I don't know that it did much otherwise.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have had my first Graeter's pumpkin ice cream of the year. God, I always forget how good it is.

Oh, boo. So I have no idea what the answer is.
