Also, you know I'm a Weird Magnet, right? The people most eager to catch my eye always have insight about the Lord, or some CIA brainwave infiltration thing. I'd really like to get past it more, even though I also kind of think my mother is in some denial about how much the person-to=person reaction to me would change if I could break this habit/pattern.(Stepmonster just used to consider it girly bonding to buy me drinks and tell me what was wrong with me.) But I should be able to look a friendly face in the face when she asks me things.

Once again, we are one in this. Have I mentioned the super creepy guy who I see around town who seems to think I should be his BFF? I can only assuume it is because he has a limp and he thinks that makes us the same or something. He really makes me uncomfortable.

BTDT...I wish there were an answer that was simpler and more proactive than "Hope he gets distracted by shiny object" but it seems to happen eventually.

The full moon is over so hopefully things will settle down now? A little? Maybe? A girl can hope.

I'm wondering how long it's supposed to take me to adjust to a new muscle relaxer. I've been taking flexeril for decades and while I fell *nothing* after taking it it normally buys me a full night's sleep. Of course with current visceral abdominal pain that is not the case so Doc switched me to tizindine. Holy chocolate oats that stuff hits me like a ton of bricks...like, can barely walk or *focus my eyes* when i take it and it's been four weeks! Granted, i'm not taking it all during the days (911 frowns on employees appearing to be stumbling drunk while at work) and it sure makes me want to flop into bed and stay there forever (which is a sentiment already in effect every moment of every day) but the sleep is still 40% tossing and turning and i'm still tumbling out of bed exhausted. Morphine has been mentioned. I'm ready to seriously consider trying medical marijuana even though smoking anything is absolutely off the table for me and the thought of anything that might stay in my system longer than i can accurately predict is terrifying...but if there's any chance of a full night's sleep without serious addiction repercussions i'm in. (iomn, still no diagnosis aside from the 6cm "mass" on my liver which is allegedly asymptomatic. more consults next week. wheeeeee.)

Congratulations, Teppy! Is this the really complicated one, or was there another sciencey job app in there?

Congratulations, Steph!! That's awesome. Go you with your bad/good self.

The really complicated one rejected me pretty quickly, which hurt my ego, but I expected it.

This one is for the AMA. (I don't know why I didn't want to put that in Beep Me.) Editing for all the AMA journals, like JAMA and the other bazillion journals they produce.

Thanks!!! Tim is a little sad he's not marrying a deadbeat, though.

NICE! You rock.

He is supposed to be making an honest woman of you. Self-sufficient is not a part of that. Please make sure you're barefoot as much as possible to salve his ego.

Fair enough, on all parts. Good onya for AMA, though! Way legit.

Who hoo! Now what can you do? Enjoy your wedding!
