Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, flea. I hate those kind of dreams. May tonight be super boring.

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

(Also, seeing Cap's new shield gauntlets in the Infinity War trailer.)

I admit that I shrieked and rewound to watch it 3 more times.

msbelle, that's ridiculous, and totally an OSHA violation. Report that shit.

Sorry about the tooth problems, people. Quick resolution and less pain ~ma for all.

I'm having serious trouble with oversleeping. No matter what time I go to bed or how much sleep I get, I'll sleep until noon. I'm supposed to be at my desk by 9am. This cannot go on. I need someone to yell at me until I'm upright and dressed. Can I program an Alexa to act as an annoyed mom?

No, but there's alarms that will make you do math to prove you're awake before y'all stop. Of course, I realized I'm so bad at arithmetic that sometimes I got them wrong even when mostly awake!

Not javachik

I had an emergency root canal in November that was super painful. Sophia, better to do it, esp if you have dental insurance. When a tooth is pulled, unless the tooth opposite the void has a fake tooth to meet it, it'll get weak & sick (or something like that) just more $ down the line. For comparison, my uninsured RC through refilling the crown that was drilled through was almost $3K.

This pain control regimen worked great. Endodontist (and Dr. Google backed it up) this is better for dental pain than narcotics. I had to do a list to keep track. 24 hrs - 2 AM, 800 ibuprofen, with food, don't lie down for ~15 minutes. 4 AM antibio. 6 AM, 800 acetominiphen. 10 AM 800 ibu. Noon antibio. 2 pm 1000 aceto. 6 pm 800 ibu. 8 pm antiobio. 10 pm 1000 aceto. If you can get pain relief with 400 ibu, 500 aceto., better. I needed the max.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

msbelle, that's ridiculous. You should deduct the square footage of your bathroom as a home office! (Joking. Maybe.)

I had a bad dream last night that a buffista's spouse died unexpectdly, and am so happy to come here and see no sad announcement.

BTDT, got the door prize. I'm glad it's not true again.

That is a horrible notion, and proof that Satan is real.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary mis-set the alarm last night.(set it to CD rather than alarm) Luckily we have a furry alarm clock so we woke up a couple minutes late, rather than hours.

(We have a pillow that says "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast". All too true...)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, John Mahoney died. Played Martin on Frasier and the father in Say Anything. Such a great actor.

So sorry to hear that, he was awesome!
