I chuckled as well, but I know that when Kristin is in the midst of struggling with ADD she has a very hard time joking about it. Chalk it up to me be extra defensive of her on what what had already been a stressful day. Didn't mean to over react.
Nah, it's a good point to make. I've been in that place where I can sit on the couch for literally 48 hours struggling with myself and utterly unable to pick up the thing I desperately need to be working on. Up all night and crying because I just need to do it and I simply can't.
It's a very different thing from my more usual putting-off-of-important-stuff-because-I-don't-like-doing-it-well-past-the-point-of-reason schtick. Which also sucks, but in a difference universe from the former.
Also, Teppy is my hero. ijs.
Me? What did I do? (I have a fierce migraine, so all I can remember of recent posts is Babyfras and ADD; I have no idea what I might have said recently that is hero-esque.)
And Tom Scola is made of win.
Always true.

OTOH, Baby! Welcome, wee one, to the Family Fras and the larger family of Buffistas! There're a lot of people who've been waiting for your debut, foremost among them a pretty darn nice set of parents.
Teppy is my hero, too.
My migraine-addled brain is honored but still confused.
I gotta talk to my doctor about a better migraine drug than the weak-ass one I take. IIRC, my doctor didn't want to try Imitrex and other triptans unless we *had* to, because of some scary side effect -- maybe heart stuff? So what I take is a fairly older drug that's a combination of tylenol, chloral hydrate, and isometheptene (which constricts blood vessels). It's kind of crap, but often works if I take it early enough.
This time, I did not take it early enough. Sometimes I can't tell if it's sinus or migraine. I chose sinus yesterday. I chose poorly.
It's like the elephant kicking my face is also stabbing me with an ice pick. That's one talented elephant.
I experimentally had only one cup of coffee this morning.
No headache. First time in weeks.
So now my question is, WTF, coffee? I thought we had a good thing going here! Why are you breaking up with me????
Thanks sj. The ibu's helping, so hopefully, this is just a mild bug. The only problem right now is I'm hungry and just not ambitious enough to anything about it.

Me too! There were three shots of espresso in it, and it was a big cup, but there was only one container.
And kudos to the local Caribou Coffee, with it's kind barristas who clearly speak "undercaffienated." From turning my mumbles into a large cappuccino to gently directing me to the ginormous display of packaged coffee (I'd run out, hence my morning problems) to "The door's on the left. Er, the other left," they gently helped me through the first, fuzziest part of my day.
