Ms Littlefish

Somehow this makes me imagine dead victorian ppl in a ballroom... Sort of dance macabre vibe. Love it.

We used the rest to make a super spooky fog effect for the rest of the day.

...Fun! (Honestly, I could never do what you do @Ms Littlefish. I'd go nuts in a day. Much, much respect to you.)

Liquid nitrogen... Wow.

Haha. I appreciate that!

More on my point is I've gotten to a point where I sleep well during the week, which definitely drives my ability to take care of myself like an adult. I still let myself get out of bed ridiculously early on the weekends and then I eat and drink ALL the things. XD

OMG! I think the exact same way. I understand that people need to rest, but knowing that doesn't change the fact that they have a huge negative impact on me. You're right, holidays really do have a strange, alien atmosphere to them. I guess they feel so weird because I don't enjoy them, and they have such a harmful effect on me. Oh, and Christmas day always feels like the world has suddenly ended. lol.

I'm also the same when it comes to new things. I just need time to adjust and prepare for that new thing.

I get migraines behind my left eye, so I bet it must feel pretty similar if it’s not one already.

No idea if it's a migraine or not. What I do know is that regular painkillers don't help, and that they're prevent me from doing anything until I get enough caffeine. lol.

RIP caffeine? Or RIP new medication?

Yeah, sleep looks like privilege instead of necessity nowadays...

I've had similar struggles lately. Basically I'll get through about 3-4 hours of sleep but then wake up suddenly to battle with anxiety for a good 30 minutes before I can sleep again. Turning all the lights off helps, so does meditation. I've also heard good things about melotonin.

I don't get terribly anxious usually. I just wake up and feel fine. I'll sit up for awhile and read I just don't fall back asleep sometimes. I do all the "things" I'm supposed to do for sleeping but...I'm just an insomniac.

I have tried to color my red hair. I was... not overly successful. I think I'd have to bleach it first and I'm too cowardly. ^_^

Yeah...even though my hair is somewhat light already, the one time I was blonde, I still had to double process it and tone it to get a WARM blonde. LOL. So...I’d hardly call bleach a solution. I only do deposit only colors because I really do love my hair color. I just wanna play like everyone else!

Once you get it out, hold it directly over your head.

Not sure if I'd say I like digging, but it lets me zone out. When I help out at the gardening project, I tend to do the more laborious tasks because I can just lose myself in them. Only task I can't stand doing is weeding. I can't seem to zone out while doing that, I'm fully aware of how boring it is.

For some reason, I just find it so satisfying when I find the spot with the biggest give and get the root ball to pop.

Good luck! Hope your migraines go away soon

Then...no sleep.

Maybe you can lend a hand there, or do something else to help them out, when you have some free time. Hope you're feeling better now.

I missed a phone call from a Detroit number last night and I have a feeling it was my manager there going “pls...pls don’t leave. We need you. pls.” Like...I love my colleagues there but that manager. Woof.

Oh, that is actually very nice.

Chrono Trigger and Persona 5 are my two favorite JRPGs and they both have amazing soundtracks (and artwork).

Persona 5 is my other obsession lately! They're SO SO good!

And when do you sleep?

When we're fully staffed. XD

Agree. I've always liked these.

no way, i didnt know about this... well, beter late than never, thanks for sharing!

Quality will out. Expect to be running the department soon.

Do your best senpai!

I suppose it is a "we dub thee competent" except the know it all who will forever see me as "new girl." XD

Ah, you're almost there! Make/grab something delicious after 15:00 and ENJOY it!

(And as for the tech... force him/her into an X-Ray room and see what's hiding beneath that human mask! )

She had her crazy eyes on. To be fair, I warned her the nurses in ER were being all bite-y.

For some reason...all I want is broccoli. XD

Awwh. Such a caring soul, even when sick you still think of others. I hope you get well soon.

Oh, by the way, I like your profile picture. Looks awesome!

Thanks! My dearest Vexed made it for me, once again. <3

I was at my Detroit job. The winds came in so hard the automatic doors to the ER couldn't shut.

Rapid drop in temperature followed by strong winds... sounds like a cold front came through.

Exactly!

*sips tea under 51C°* ....

*stays inside AC controlled apartment and plays video games all day*

Also, this hospital is way, way, way smaller than the one I used to work at. So...das a lotta peeples.

Are you doing a full this time?

Still a half. I've had to scale back with all the health issues. The doctors obviously like that I'm active but they want me to be careful with how much I run since my weight is only now getting normal again.

Awesome! A half is still an amazing achievement. I was just curious.
