Went up a dose on Zepbound, and godddddd the insomnia is real. I need Tim to clonk me in the back of the head with a frying pan and knock me out Looney Tunes style.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Cool! First meeting was pretty nice. It was a *lot* of people and apparently there are regulars who told the owner in advance that they wanted to do this but wouldn’t be able to make it tonight, so there will presumably be even more next time, but everyone seems nice and interested in what other people have to say, I think it’ll be good.
Gonna mess up my watching Josh Johnson YouTubes but I can catch up on Wednesdays while I WFH

Getting the dosage right on frying pan head clonking is very hard, Tep. Pretty bad side effects. Hopefully some alternative treatment will be effective

Insomnia is a side effect I hadn't heard about! Interesting! I've mostly just had the occasional nausea, and burping.
I realized this week I went dancing tonight (Tuesday), have a meeting for the dance programming committee tomorrow, Thursday I am DJing, Friday I am dancing, and Saturday I am DJing. No wonder I feel like there's too much dancing stuff going on! (Thankfully next week it'll be back to our usual just twice a week, not five times!)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
It looks like a road crew is finally getting around to doing something about the gravel-filled sewer repair hole that's been in front of my house for weeks. So far it's just removing the metal plates partially covering the mess, but I'm crossing my fingers that repaving is on the agenda sometime today (rather than digging things back up).

Good luck, Matt
Just having my usual Wednesday morning “get up and work AGAIN?” blahs. Three days in a row really is too much, we should break up the week more.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Went up a dose on Zepbound, and godddddd the insomnia is real.

The insomnia has happened with every dose increase; for the first couple-few days after the shot, I just cannot fucking fall asleep. By night 3 or 4, I can sleep normally again. This pattern lasts for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then the insomnia goes away. It's maddening. I'm so tired right now that I'm bug-eyed and twitchy. Tonight had better be a sleep normally night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Shir thanks for the frequent check-ins.
