"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dudes! My EF was in the NORMAL RANGE for the first time in eight years! Everything read as normal, in fact. Normal, normal, normal. What a happy word.

Right the fuck on!

I'm flashing to Young Frankenstein and Igor waltzing off with the Abby Normal brain...

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Dudes! My EF was in the NORMAL RANGE for the first time in eight years!

Hell yeah!!!!

There is apparently an active shooter situation somewhere in our general vicinity? Like, in the same city, not right here at work. "Stay away from the windows" we are told, and my desk is nowhere near any windows, so ok I guess. First time I've been told that at work...
