Iceland is amazing! I loved my visit there. The Reykjavik cathedral is gorgeous, and there's art all over the city. If you like seafood you're in luck, 'cause it's amazing. If you like food that you only eat on a dare, well, the rotted shark is for you. Make sure you have the schnapps they call "the black death" on hand, because that's the only thing that will get the taste of rotten shark out of your mouth. There's a wang museum. There's a very walkable downtown. There's a rotating restaurant on top of some water towers--great food and a terrific view.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Update on the doctor-evil - saw a new doc yesterday, who is awesome and, within 5 minutes, gave me an actual likely diagnosis using REAL WORDS, and said soon-to-be-ex-doc was probably happier delivering babies and not so good on the things I need her to be good on. She says there's an easy fix, and I am happy to believe her and do whatever she says because the "This happens sometimes", the "let's just keep an eye on it", and the "you're too needy" handling of things for the past six years was really, REALLY, getting me down.
I was so relieved I came home that I slept for four hours.

Six years, Sox?!? Good lord. Well, I'm glad New Doc is on it and I hope the easy fix is truly easy and actually fixes.

There is a museum in Reykjavik that displays the male reproductive organs of almost all mammals. When I was there, the proprietor told us they had examples of all of them, except for a human. And apparently a human promised them they could have his as soon as he was done with it. That was probably 10 years ago, so they may have that one now, too.

Yay! The new doc sounds terrific.
