Punishingly Intricate

It's an idea I've had for years and she's the first artist I've seen who has art that matches the idea in my head.

Thrive to spite them

I had to leave work early. I was feeling really bad. I think I'm just getting overheated too much.

It's really hot under the lights on the sales floor and then there is the 2 story stock room where I have to go up and down a lot....have no idea how many times a day but sometimes 4 or 5 times for 1 customer.

I also have to pull shoes for put out on a mass out or pull clearance.

I have water and Gatorade but this morning I was sweating a lot.

I'm planning on getting more dresses and some long skirts and wear those. But I don't know what else to do. It's just in the 70s . I am dreading when it gets truly hot. I'm also worried I wont be able to do this because of heat issues and that would really suck.

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

askye, I have awful heat issues too. I think it must be the medication -- I never used to have problems like this. The slightest amount of humidity, or temps above 70 deg F, and I'm a sweaty exhausted mess. whatever you do, don't wear polyester.

I wonder if salt pills or electrolytes drinks would help.

I'm a huge advocate of Ultima for electrolytes in the heat! [link]

I think electrolyte drinks will definitely help. I haven't been drinking enough water overall so that hasn't helped. I also need to lose weight I'm back up to my heaviest, I tend to snack a lot more since I've moved in with Matthew so I have to change that.

Matthew brought me Life water today when I let him know I came home early. It helped so I was going to get some more.

Pix. I'll check that out. I've had a weird reaction to Splenda and I can't remember if I've had straight stevia or not and if I reacted to it. So I say get the Ultima and try it at home so if I feel weird it won't be at work.

I'm having some adjustment time with the other peole in the department but the comission part is really good and I probably won't have as good a week as I had last week often but even I do about ok I can end up with the equivalent of an extra paycheck a month. So I really want this to work out

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Gatorade and coconut water both work for me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I need help in how to phrase something. My psychiatrist moved a few months ago, and I got assigned to someone else at his office, and I'm really just not comfortable with the new person. Like, he'd be fine if I just wanted meds management, but I've got more stuff that I want to talk about, and I'm just not comfortable talking about it with him. The local EDS group keeps a list of doctors that people have gone to and recommend, and one of the psychiatrists on the list is someone else in his office (which is in a good location for me, and takes my insurance, and even has a discount on the co-pay because I'm affiliated with the university), and she looks really good -- she specializes in people with chronic illness and chronic pain. I've got an appointment with him coming up in a couple weeks, and I just realized that I've got a conflict then and I need to reschedule. How do I ask to reschedule with her instead?
