Howard Hughes vs. the Deap-Sea Murlocs

[greygirlbeast]

Last night I might have slept close to eight hours, the most I've slept at a stretch in weeks. And I feel much better. All it required was having my Seroquel script refilled. I see my doctor on the 19th, and we're going to talk about Lunesta (Seroquel isn't actually a sleep aid; that's just a fortunate side-effect I've stumbled upon). Probably it's

I'm glad you are getting out and about, but I think your agoraphobia has come to visit me. I haven't left the house for ... hmm ... four days, and when I was out Monday, I wasn't at all happy about it.

If you have the inclination, it's an easy trap to fall into. Especially when your psychiatrist says it's okay.

Discussing how one maintains good health is generally considered polite conversation, and I don’t see why that shouldn’t extend to medication. (Vivid graphic detail that might disquiet one’s readers/listeners, on the other hand, is a subject requiring more delicate handling, or at least a cut tag for “TMI”.) For prudence, though, it depends on how you want to handle the boors who would attempt to use it against you. One could always brazen it out by implying that you’re a responsible individual who is successfully managing her own health and the boor is not: “One of the two of us is clearly off their meds, and it’s not me!” But keeping things like that in friends-locked posts where the boors can’t even see it saves the hassle in the first place

Not when I was growing up in Alabama...

I've never trusted friend's locked posts not to escape, so I mostly haven't bothered with it.

(Another aspect of prudence would be if you were revealing sufficient information that it could be used against you in a non-rhetorical manner, such as working out that it would be possible to burglarize your house because your sleeping pills would render you insensate at a particular time. But that would be an astonishing level of work for a common burglar. I’d be more concerned with the kind of over-sharing to which Please Rob Me was calling attention.)

Yep. That's what I don't do. Or provide enough information that the Dagon cultists can find me.

Couth, Chemists and Christmas Presents

[jessamyg]

It is very uncouth for LJ not to be able to spell couth. Living in England I forget that Chemist isn't the universal word in the English-speaking world, very colonial of me(gags at the thought).

And I have just received my Christmas Presents from the snowy North of England. Looking forward to reading The Ammonite Violin and to The Red Tree (again). Just had to tell someone - and will get around to reading the Will Shetterly, Emma Bull and Simon R. Green books too (his Nightside books, a guilty pleasure). I hope this has been long and rambly enough to send you into a deep sleep.

Someday I will compile a list of words that LJ can not spell (including LiveJournal).

Looking forward to reading The Ammonite Violin

I hope you like it.

My nose is still trying to capture the “nutmeg, mildew and ammonia” sensation. The sensory overload is nasty.

Did writing the story dismiss demons?

Nope.

I'm a few days behind. The idiotic security on my work computer will allow me on Facebook all day yet blocks Livejournal as a social networking site - idiotic. Something is wrong with the world.

I adored "30". Traipsing around the seedier side of Providence with you as a guide. Your willingness to share your beliefs about your weaknesses and your fears is most appreciated.

Spooky is correct. Stop smoking and don't start again. If you read the documents I read everyday, you would never touch another cigarette. We'd like to have you with us for many years to come.

Cheers

Been saying that for years. No one ever listens.

Thank you.

Spooky is correct.

I know....
