Scheherazade in Blue Jeans

Medical
Doubled the Lyrica, and am feeling not at all well; exhausted, fumbly, vision a little weird, and the face-tingly and tongue-tingly that I associate with Trileptal. Maybe the Trileptal doesn't like the Lyrica? We'll see.

Mild pain day. Yay for that!

Just stuff
* Elayna lost her TV time for today, due to not making her bed, feeding the cats, or cleaning up her dinner/dessert dishes yesterday.
* harkalark and I are like fourteen years old on the phone together. "Hiiii. I like you." "I like you too. *giggle*"
* Gwyn and I are going to Java Jive. Yay Java Jive!

A request
Good mojo for my Adam, starting noonish, s'il te plait. :)

To quote Cyborg: "Booyah!"

Hot damn, I love my husband. :)

Dear whoever sent me this:



24 cookies: 12 molasses ginger, 6 oatmeal raisin, 6 chocolate chip. :)

It arrived! Thank you! But with a card with no name. So I don't know who to thank. So. *wave*

Haiku re: these and avivasedai's brownies to be posted shortly.

Finally talked to Elayna about the hospital stay. I explained that I'd be in for a week, that there was nothing new wrong with me, that they just wanted to run some tests. I told her that I would have electrodes reading my brainwaves. :) And that Spooky was coming down, and her grandma might be coming up. This got a "yay!" from her. So. Kid has been apprised.

I got the info packet today.

* Visiting hours are 9 AM to 9 PM.
* I will be on camera the whole time, except when I go to the bathroom. The leads are long enough to allow me bathroom access.
* If I have a seizure while you're with me, push the red button!
* They may sleep-deprive me for 24 hours to bring on a seizure. It's like Blogathon, but without the money for charity, and with nasty hospital food instead. (Remember to go donate to RAINN, if you haven't yet! And I'll be working on the primer during my hospital stay.)
* I am allowed outside food. So if you want to get takeout and eat dinner with me - awesome.
* They encourage me to bring a laptop, but there's no info about 'net access; I'll call tomorrow and see.

Always bring coffee. Because I'm sure they're not going to give me enough. So just stop at the coffee place on the first floor and bring me up a cup, please and thank you!

I am at my downstairs computer.

There's an iSight currently hooked up to it.

It's staring at me.

"Tell me," he said
"Tell me a story"
This in itself was an aphrodisiac
