Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil, tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy.

Thanks! (My doctor has told me that, if I was born a couple decades earlier, I would have had that done by the time I was about six, but when I was a kid, the general thought was "We've been removing too many tonsils for no reason, so let's stop doing that," and they wouldn't remove tonsils unless they got infected something like four times within a year, and I never had more than three times.)

It wants to know if I have "history of cholesterol"

Can you write in "I had a Denny's Moons Over My Hammy this morning"? Because I would.

Hah. That reminds me of when people enter abnormal lab values as adverse events in my studies. And instead of like, specifying that it's hypercholesterolemia or whatever, they just put "cholesterol" or "white blood cells" and I have to say "so, 'white blood cells' by themselves are not actually a PROBLEM?"

Our wings are not tired

There's a section where you have to enter the names of all your immediate family members, and then check off whether any of them have a history of various things. One of the things on the list is "Adoption."

As someone who is adopted I actually appreciate it when this is listed as an option. I have to deal with far too many forms that ask all sorts of family medical history questions with no option to explain that I have no way of knowing, so I just end up drawing a big X through all of it and writing adopted across the whole thing.

I'm chilling and waiting for my second therapist appointment. I think today we talk about Tim, because I spent the entire first appointment talking about my family of drunks (which is a bit telling, no?).

Then at noon I get 2 fillings for my teeth of chalk. Then I will nap the nap of one who has righteously adulted.

Also, my level 2 improv class starts tonight, so that's a good.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Have an excellent day, Teppy! Parts of it may well be the opposite of fun, but may they have the effect of increasing your health.

You have suffered through much adulting, you deserve a break.

Therapy is stupid. Personal growth BLOWS. t /sulk

(I know it's helping, and will help more as I continue to do it, but it's harrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I hear you, Teppy. I hope that on balance you finish the day feeling productive and fulfilled.

Okay, now back out the door for the dentist. Meh.
