Oh, to see altitude sickness at work, Michael Palin's series on crossing the Himalaya is educational. They nearly had to ship him out of there.
Sounds interesting.
Consuela, avert your eyes! It'll be fine! You'll do great!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Krenkel especially goes into my file. DAMN. That's some great black and white work. Why were you watching him work, Ginger?

Well, it could be "OK, this was supposed to be horrible, but I feel OK, so I'm doing well." I figure forewarned is forearmed.

Drinking lots of water (like, drink until you think you've had enough and then drink some more pretty much constantly for at least a few days before you go) is supposed to help, according to the mountain climbers of my acquaintance. New Orleans-based climbers are pretty aware of change in altitude effects, as you might imagine.
I have firm plans to meet my mom at 3:30 tomorrow morning so we can go walk around a track for an hour or two. By the time we are done with that and go out to breakfast I should be ready to be all kinds of productive around the house before it's time to watch football (which has a tendency to just eat up my Sundays)...

They needed people for the overnight hours. These things happen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Last night I wrote out a list of everything I wanted to get done today.
I am pretty sure it's laughing at me from the other room.

Lists are not the boss of you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Even so, that's still early.
But then I'm going to have to wake up for the prep dose at around 3 AM to allow for enough time before I have to leave for the procedure.

That sounds less fun, frankly.
