Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, guys!

In other news, here's an amazing podcast on Johnlock fandom, with an excerpt in text: [link] The podcast opens with Willa Paskin talking about how she was a Brenda/Dylan shipper, which feels like a nice grounding for if any non-fandom people are listening.

Our wings are not tired.

Eeep, going to get my hair cut. I has been a couple years. It is below my shoulder blades at this point. I also had grown out my bangs. Plan is to still leave it long enough to put in a band or up and bring back the bangs. I've cut my hair a remarkably few times in my life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's hard, sarameg. Dump as needed.

You and me both, Calli.

Graduation gifts are outside my experience.

No desire whatsoever to work today. And yet, here I am.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Right now my massive annoyance is a whole slew of people telling my nephew's fiance that he needs to have a sleep study because he must have sleep apnea because he snores. His mother chiming in with testimony that both she and his grandmother have sleep apnea, so he should get the study done. His mother and grandmother are both seriously obese and he is an athletic mid 20s guy in great shape. People with sleep apnea often snore, but the vast majority of people who snore don't have apnea!!

I've had a number of people "helpfully" tell me I should do a sleep study for this. Look, I know I snore like a buzz saw, but I have since I was a kid, and I don't wake myself up with shortness of breath or suffer excessive daytime sleepiness. Go play Amateur MD with someone else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Have a good haircut, Laura.

Migraine gone! Steroids in full effect! I know because they kept me up until 3AM!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hubs insisted that I see an allergist and demand a sleep apnea test because I snore. The allergist said that I probably didn't have sleep apnea, but he couldn't say no definitively. He offered to schedule a sleep test, but (six months later), nobody has followed up with me on that.

I guess I just have to accept that I snore like a wildebeest (in the words of a hospital roommate).

Hair is gone! Bangs are back and hair is shoulder length which is long enough to tie up when I go to the beach. I went to DH's barber because I hate that the general hair salons insist on shampooing my hair and then using a blow dryer when they are done. Just cut it! Wetting it with a spray bottle is fine. My fine air takes approximately 2 minutes to dry without a blow dryer.

Migraine gone! Steroids in full effect! I know because they kept me up until 3AM!

Excellent! Yay steroid energy.

I will say that I don't normally snore (or only for a minute or two) but do have sleep apnea. The biggest difference I find with wearing my CPAP is that I don't clench my teeth at night (and then wake up with a headache). I didn't realize those were related but apparently they can be.
