bandit king of lunch and string

super grumpy lately and v annoyed at fatigue. i can barely keep my eyes open even though i got a full night's sleep. this is dumb. there's so much i want to be doing, but i can hardly make myself go downstairs. i hate this. :(

 

minnesota weather. gotta love it.

 

that's appallingly perfect i love it

 

got a physio appointment today. fortunately i'm a bit less fatigued and achey than the past few days. seebs was feeling it too, and nick was just sleeping with cats all day every day, so it was a virus rather than a new and horrible stage of my disability. relief! anyhow, today is a perfect day, and i'm not going to let anything spoil it.

though i am probably going to my appt with a neckbeard and 80's hair, because there are limits to my energy.

btw NEW ICON i wish i knew the artist but it's been stolen by so many t-shirt sites you'd need stronger google-fu than mine to source it.

 

awesome, thank you!

 

i was really looking forward to swimming as soon as i got over the whatsit, but looking out at the snowstorm, i kind of... don't want to deal with it. i know it's warm in the dome. but i'm still not sure i can make myself go.

 

only if they've got science facts. :P

 

had another dentistry yesterday, switched to the place just a couple blocks away since the other place doesn't keep the gas on site. i should've done this ages ago. these people are awesome. particularly the hygienist named theresa, who is now my bro. we bonded. since i was the only customer in there and there was a snowstorm and everything was problems, she put on a hard rock station and we had acdc and aerosmith while she probed my gums.

she told me that since on my intro paperwork i said that sensory processing disorder makes dentistry hell, they'd been reading up on it... and she gave me sunglasses so the lights wouldn't bother me. BRILLIANT. it helped SO MUCH. she and the dentist both listened to me and adapted, they were so great. they warned me before they did things, and when i needed a minute to settle my stomach they let me have it and didn't hover. so far all three of the places i've been (place with no gas, the surgeon who pulled my tooth, and this place) have been good about my SPD, but this one's been the best. the sunglasses, man. so smart.

i've got a consultation scheduled with an orthodontist to talk about whether we can shift my jammed-up front teeth to close the gap rather than getting an implant. i never considered orthodontics an option because having things in my mouth is too sensory, but apparently they've been pioneering some much smoother options lately and i should check them out.

the world is slowly getting more autism-friendly, and to my delight and astonishment, dentists are on the crest of the wave.

 

i mean '12 hours of fjords' could mean silent pans of scenery, or it could mean a guided tour, or a science documentary series, or ??

i would absolutely be up for a documentary series about the wildlife and cultures and geology and everything of the region. silent scenery not so much.

 

what are the firewood ones?
