"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yeah, I can see that. But I'm not sure my internal rhythms match up with my job's expectations of me!

Same. I know my internal rhythms want me to go to sleep at 2 AM and get up at 10 or 11, but ltc is up at 7:30 and needs to be at school for 9. That being said, I really need to make some changes to my diet and exercise routine, but being exhausted all the time doesn't help with making changes. Also, I know from my Gestational diabetes diet from when I was pregnant, that being super restrictive makes me super miserable.

Our wings are not tired.

Upending cycles. We'll see. Nothing else has worked! See also the whole eating because you are hungry and not because it is a certain hour or because you are pissed off. She's a terror I tell ya!

I have my exciting girly appointment this morning. I haven't been in mumble mumble years. I figure my PCP will send me gold stars when I send him the report.

Best of luck, Laura!

I'm always hungry. The only way I can control this is eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours or so.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just offered to buy lunch for the two office I support if the other workers would use their inter-office IM for the next week. Half an hour has passed, no one has responded and no one has logged on.

I guess they love me yelling my questions at them and calling each other 50 million times a day on the phone.

Le sigh.

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

Wow, msbelle.

The only way I can control this is eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours or so.

That seems like a good way to live to me.

I'm in the office. OMG so much to catch up on! Well, it'll get done or it won't, kinda past caring

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Some people really do love that, huh?

Our wings are not tired.

In the past I have done the eat every couple of hours thing, and my SIL does that. It really works quite well, but is a whole lot of work to prep a half dozen mini meals/snacks a day.

ION, I just got back from the doctor visit and all my girly parts are beautiful and perfect in every way. (I don't have to go for another decade now, right?)

Huh- something in the movie thread triggered the web blocking on my work phone!!!! No!!!!! This is the only way I can be on here while at work.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You guys, I like my job. Really, I do. But the articles they've been giving me lately have been so freaking depressing. Last week I had the one about gun violence, I've had a lot of articles about opioid overdoses, and today I have one about the mental health trauma of children in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. This is heavy shit. I need a happy medical article, dang it! Like "this person was sick, but she took this medication and now she's healthy and happy and plays with her pet unicorn every day!"

Because books.

There are just not enough articles about pet unicorns, period.

Between Luke Perry and Alex Trebec's diagnosis and the ongoing trash fire of the US government, I could SO use a pet unicorn right now.
