I see that if you had any question, you were able to answer it for yourself.

Oh geez, that would be a great class to teach. I'd broaden it out a little to Religion and Rationality...
Thanks. For ever couple of students like you guys, community college profs are able to carry on without being institutionalized for depression.

I fight an incurable illness every day but I am more fortunate than others, especially a guy I met at a support group who has to take some scary meds with all sorts of side effects like cancer and some disease that rots the brain. Stuff like that reminds me to keep focused and just be thankful that I can still live normally day to day.
I'm sorry to hear that CJ. Of course, all of us go to the same end, some of us just know it more acutely than others. I think when the time comes, very few people are ready to go, whatever their age. I'm glad you can lead a normal life. That's a blessing. Best of luck with your struggle.

That's another relatively new series, and it's sort of a spin off from the Sandman mythos. It has an interesting structure with the main story/plot, and a side story (with a different artist than the main story) that reinforces the theme in the main story.
Ah, yes. You are correct. I had forgotten about its previous incarnation.

Ugh, what a morning. Up at 9 after a 3:45 (in the ayem) bedtime, eyes like meatballs from the pool and a leak in the CPAP mask, animals yelling and howling because they want food and drink -- as if those were necessities of life or something! -- girl dog chewed up my favorite berry lip balm (the one I save for special occasions), spent 15 precious minutes curling hair only to have the mist and rain undo all the work, needed gas so was late for said work, while filling up at the pump I made the Perception check to notice that the NEXT gas station's price was four cents per gallon cheaper, it's raining and the lawn desperately needs cutting, and I didn't get any breakfast, not even coffee.
Good morning!
What sort of weird post-apocalyptic land do you live in???

I get insomniac over the summer, my husband is away for 3 months, so during that time my sleep goes right out the window. It's not that I'm afraid to be in the house alone or anything it's just really hard to sleep in these different conditions.

Well, it is fascinating, in a macabre sort of way. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hmmm. I just finished wrapping birthday presents for a four-year-old on behalf of her grandmother. Grandma called and had me walk her through items in the store, picked out several, and asked me to wrap them. I told her it would be better for her to come see the store and be sure this is what she wanted, but she couldn't. Her arthritis is so bad she can barely walk, and she wanted me to wrap because her hands are now crippled. Her husband will be in to pick them up. She was cheery and sunshiny during the whole conversation.
Why is it every time I try to feel sorry for myself, something like this happens to show that I'm simply whiny?
I sometimes need these reminders to remember how good I have it, in the grand scheme of things.

We try. I still say "Doctor" (or "Proffessor" if I don't know their status or they're not that far yet) to them instead of calling them by their first names. Seems disrespectful to do otherwise.

Have you tried meditation? It may help relax you enough to be able to sleep.

Taig, are you giving notice today?
I gave my notice just before lunch. It was interesting. My boss pretty much knew it was coming. The funny thing was less than a minute after telling me that I made a huge (positive) impact on the team, she wasn't going to do anything to counter, because she'd already done that once before, and she only wanted to make the offer to someone who was "worth it".
Also, I have to be the one who tells the rest of the team that I'm leaving.

Not as dark as Adam's make-up. So, I could probably decapitate you and then spill my guts. Who'd be my second?
