Good news from my improv class: the fellow who had the seizure last week was accepted into the clinical trial at Duke! He goes down there in 2 weeks.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

That is great news! I hope the trial exceeds all expectations.

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.
I bow before the Empress' smiting perfection.
smonster, you deserve all good things, and I dont know how to bend space/time to thwart all this badness and turn it into the good that ought to be there.
Steph, I'm glad to hear about the guy getting into the clinical trial. And I hope that the Cymbalta does good things for you.
I wanted to sniffle a little at work. D, the person who was the lead for years where I am now, has been so encouraging, telling me that she is so happy I took the job, that she knows I will do great, and that I will be there for the long haul, so she is handing over her "cheat sheets" of important info. I feel the kind of manageable overwhelmed that you do when you have an enormous task ahead, and you aren't quite sure how to do it all - but the feeling is directed at all the training I have to do to learn the job. So I also feel good that all I have to do is get through the training so I can get into the meat of the job.

That's great, Steph! If there's anything I can do to help on the NC end, please let me know. Profile addy's good.
WindSparrow, you're gonna be great!

WS, that's wonderful! You've got this.
I've been trying to wake up a little earlier than ltc and have my first cuppa and read until she wakes up. It's really helping with my anxiety. I need some quiet in my life so as not to get completely overwhelmed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, it sucks you have to deal with all that. I hope your landlord does the right thing and you find a better job soon. And your roommate gets a cluesticking.
Steph, that's good news about your friend! May Cymbalta do the job for you!
Empress, I've missed you and your smitings!
WS and sj, overwhelm~ma.
I am up almost before the sun. My life seems to work better if I have a couple hours before work to get stuff done and have a real breakfast. Let's see if I can keep it up this time.
(Yes, I work from home and nothing's really stopping me from having a real breakfast at any time. But once I'm working, I'm zoomed-in on it and it's hard to make myself stop and do something else, or even notice that I should.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That's understandable, Zen. I'm home with ltc all day, and even with feeding. Her three good meals a day, I still often fail at feeding myself proper food.

Oh, smonster. That is a lot. I hope you have a day of rest and some spoons appear. At least the election will be over in 5 days.

Okay, I just want to say I feel like a giant cliche, going to therapy and talking about my mom the whole time. (But then, I suspect parental issues are therapists' bread and butter.)
Also, I think I cannot take Cymbalta at bedtime (I read about the side effects, one of which is drowsiness, so I figured I'd take it at bedtime and use the drowsiness to my advantage), because I was WIRED and up until after 2:00. Possibly that was from the World Series, but I don't think so. I'll take it in the morning starting tomorrow.
