What might make life run smoother!

I wish I would be able to get one of those beautiful-sounding oboes that I had been eyeballing before. If I had it, then I would be able to sound good in an orchestra setting again.

My cats Cora and Tilly are both within reach, which is rare. They are listening to the coos of the birds out the window.

Yesterday I had been watching a woman describe two oboes.

A crow or raven is singing along after her snippet.

The following video is about antidepressants. I tried one once before, didn't like it, then stopped.
It said there is a research gap in that study!



I think it might be useful to that study if all of his abbreviations were spelled out, since I don't know about you, I get lost with all of those weird confusing-to-spell-out letters.

SSRI: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
SNRI: Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
ADS: Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome
MOI: Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor
TCA: I'm not sure if it's Trichloroacetic Acid, Tricarboxylic Acid or Tricyclic Antidepressant. (The links are to a free dictionary site online, I couldn't be bothered to type the two previous ones out like the last one since my elbow is a bit sore and I don't remember where the brace is that I watched a video about wearing before so I just have a longsleeved shirt wrapped around the joint supporting it at the moment.)
To metabolize is "to use chemical processes in the body to turn food into energy, new growth, and waste" - according to my family my personal metabolism is fast, so if I were to have one of these drugs in my system it would metabolise quickly.
lateral: relating to the sides of an object or plant or to a sideways movement
MAOI: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors - these have generally been replaced by antidepressants that have fewer side-effects.

I have tried an SSRI but not an SNRI before.

No clue wrt genetics, but I did not experience withdrawal when I stopped my trial of Sertraline. Maybe it is since I didn't take the drug for long enough for any to come about. (The doctor is a professional from ReMed, a place I had visited about 45 minutes from my home for therapy after my car accident until I noticed it wasn't helping.)
I think it would probably be harder for changing my seizure medication.

I checked also that Sertraline is AKA Zoloft and is used for a bunch of mood problems and for panic disorder, which I have noted I've had, and for OCD, but I stopped researching it because of my fears it would make me do something I was unprepared to handle.

I was emailed there's an artist network with a final submission date of my birthday, tomorrow, but however I am planning for my trip instead so my half-finished Malagasy Sand Blindsnake is still pending my recovery from my sore throat.

The draft has a bit of what the description noted of where it lives though. In general I try to depict my animals in where they live, i.e. like the dioramas I remember making.

Every now and again, I sketch a little bit more of the snake, but it still looks nothing like the model, or not very much.

Maybe I should give up. My current drawing is nothing I would want to associate myself with, after all.

However, meanwhile, I finally looked up what the word "obligate" means when I read that cats were "obligate carnivores" in the literature! That means they have to eat meat.

Mankind is different. It can eat anything it puts its mind to. I saw an article a few days ago about a girl who was eating the wall of her house.

(The news bulletin rambled in the background that in my area it is going to get uncomfortably hot.)

... this cat documentary came about 17 years before I was born but is fun for what it is. I have found the books I researched seem more useful so far but to be fair I haven't watched the full thing before judging it, and I might be slightly against watching more than four and a half minutes of it due to my poor experiences with flautists in the past.

*sings the beginning of Kotchi wo Muite to Tilly while looking at the kanji page* She liked it!

The book I searched for valiantly at the library but couldn't find came in, according to my email! It says I ought to pick it up by the 25th. It is called Cold-Hearted Rake. I have never read anything by the author before. I am mildly expanding my horizons in what I will tolerate. It sounds potential but I will drop it like a cinder if it is bad.

The historical time period it describes that it is set is close when I know the most about.

So these are my thoughts.

psychiatry, rambling, birds, angst, medicus, english, memory, hope, snakes, drugs, illness, heat, complaint, eating, flute, fam'bly, listening, oboe, singing, cats, library, research, monday, fear
