    Another day.

    I should probably get going at some point, but meh.

    Negatory. My head is full of crud. My stomach is better though. Everything smells funny. Like a bag of pennies.

    I have a confession to make. Maybe this belongs in TFP Confessions? Anyway...

    I didn't go to bed when I said I was going to—the couch was too comfortable, or I was too lazy, or whatever. I curled up on my side and dozed off, woke up again, channel surfed till I landed on Lorenzo's Oil and watched that off and on between cat naps until about 2:30. Went upstairs. Wrote a little—on my phone, under the covers...yeah—and finally fell asleep around 3:30.

    Ouch. And really stupid. And ouch.

    I probably would have done something similar but with infomercials, had I not already been in bed with Netflix turned off when I left.

    Did you at least finish The Matrix?

    I did!... not like I really needed to. ;)

    Is there some patron saint of Circadian rhythms I can pray to so I can get my fucking sleep schedule back on track?

    I think it's really just called not watching The Matrix before bed. That shit amps your brain up even if you don't think it does.

    I'm on a roll today, people. You'll be seeing/reading a lot of me today, since I have no desire to get any work-related shit done.

    Have decided I am a huge fan of customer support live chats—yay for not having to pick up the phone and actually talk with somebody. Like, out loud.

    I love that. One, I hate talking on the phone. Two, I prefer to see and think about what I say.

    Oh, man. Infomercials. I will sit and watch the CD collection infomercials all the way through. That '60s collection that Davy Jones told me all about is so on my wish list.

    Personally, I prefer the kitchen appliance ones. THIS BLENDER WILL DEMOLISH ICE AND BRING YOU A FIRST BORN IN 30 MILLISECONDS.

    So many of those tempt me, but I've never actually ordered anything. I want those knives that can cut through granite, damnit.

    My best friend is having a kidney stone removed today. A camera/claw tube thing through the penis. *whimper*
    The doctor told him he's had that thing floating around in there for about two years. He said it's partially in the ureter and the bladder.
    The dude's usually a pretty tough guy, but this stone has brought him to tears.

    After tugging the front of your costu.....er......."uniform" after standing up and dramatically pointing a finger. Using a British accent would help as well.

    Kidney stones are the WORST. When I had my new patient visit a couple of weeks ago, the med student and resident taking my history both said they had heard from multiple female patients in their rotations that kidney stones were more painful than childbirth. I don't personally know whether this is true or not, but I do know that stones were more painful than my worst menstrual cramps, and my cramps used to be so bad I frequently missed days of school and threw up from the pain. I can almost guarantee that any pain your friend feels from the procedure will be minimal compared to the stone itself.
