Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Compassionately intolerant

eta: Um. Not to put too fine a point in it, my 'feeling the same' here was in response to Windsparrow's comment.

I feel the same. I love a good hot water bottle and, frankly, am resisting reading anything about this steaming process. Don' wanna know.

My fancy schmancy teas (of which, I hope ita would approve...lo, how I wish I could ask her about temperatures...) are keeping me pretty relaxed and invigorated.

Thrive to spite them

I have comments but I'm mostly um Nope nopenope to steam.

I'm home early from work. I cut my finger open on a cardboard box, which wasn't fun. And made it for awhile until I started getting hot (no one else was) and started having trouble sentencing.

Which is how I described it to my supervisor. "Um, so I need to go. I'm not...you know.. I'm hot and I had trouble with the ...thing with the customer (transaction) because ....I'm having trouble sentencing. Talking. long sentences."

Which at that point he let me go. I left my boots at work (wore my work shoes), dropped my keys at work. Then at home walked into the drainage ditch trying to get to the house. (it's full of snow I thought it was solid ground).

I'm calling the doctor on Monday. This spacey ness is stupid.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Definitely doctor time again, askye.

Second best are those low-heat pads you can wear under your clothes for eight hours at a stretch.

I prefer the ones that stick to skin instead of clothes. They tend to stay better in the spots I need. And, amazingly, the adhesive doesn't irritate my skin.

Askye, I'm sorry. Take care of yourself.

Thrive to spite them

I'm calling the doctor on monday and asking if they'll do a culture or smething because I've been on antibiotics since Tuesday I should be feeling better not worse.

And now I have part of a song stuck in my head. I can't remember the lyrics so I just remember the drum beat and I know that it was made into a Spike vid (later seasons dealing with him being re-soulled) I vaguely remember the choruse but not enough to be able to do a google search on it. It's not Nine Inch Nails but it kind of sounds like that. I had the album at one time but then ripped it and then the music got lost. And it's driving me crazy because I can't thin of the name of the song or the band.

And I found it after being really round about! Tool and I kept thinking the song was off an album Palabras but it was off Lateralus. My brain is fog today.

Some have a belt arrangement and no sticking at all!

I love the belt arrangement ones! And I can get them at work really inexpensively!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Belt arrangements wriggle with my odd proportions but mostly they don't work well for me because I'm very noncompliant and want to wear them longer than eight hours, including for sleep. They've mostly petered out but it's a nice, steady low heat that still helps me for most things. Except the belts move or tear.
