Squee is so damn cute, it's almost unreasonable.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Paging Teppy the medicine goddess--I'm on antibiotics for a shin wound that is being crotchety, and I've been having ongoing anxiety worse than my typical anxiousness. So I Googled (bad Dr. Google) and found several references to antibiotics, specifically one I'm on, exacerbating existing anxiety. Is this a thing, or am I falling prey to anec-data? Heck, just knowing it may be a drug interaction cuts a lot of the vicious circle in my head.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Jilli!
FTR, yes, you can get a whole new passport in 24 hours or less so long as you can get an appointment and your ass to one of the passport agency offices, of which, there are not many.
That's what happened to me! My trip to Ireland, I discovered on the way out the door to the airport that my passport had expired the day before. A few frantic phonecalls later, my sister picked me up and we drove to Philadelphia, got me a new passport, ate ice cream, drove home, and I made the next flight out. So, yes it's possible, but I don't recommend it. Renew your passports now! You never know when you'll need to flee the country.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday Jilli!
I had an exam this week. That finishes off the very last subject in my Master of Finance. (This being the one I began just after Ryan was born, i.e. over seven years ago.) Achievement!
Biyi is already asking what I intend to study next.

Cereal: following Dr. Google, I found an amazing website on coping with anxiety, well named Anxieties.com. I was looking at the breathing section of the Calming Method, and holy fuck, I've been doing deep breathing all wrong. I've always pushed out my chest when deep breathing instead of letting my stomach protrude, and it makes a huge difference! Stupid singing teachers!

he posted it immediately AFTER he shared a link from FoodBabe, without a trace of irony
Hahahah. OMG I had a hard time stopping myself from commenting on a friend's FoodBabe post earlier today and just going OFF. Ugh. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Singing teachers should have been teaching you to use your diaphragm, too.

Dude, well done! What next sounds like a valid question.

There was lots of talk about putting shoulders back as you breathe in. And they never said *how* to use the diaphragm. Also, I was in the 6th grade, what did I know? I just care that this shit is working.
