Here is kind of a shot of our comic books. It was mostly M showing how he posed the stuffed animals

Nice!

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

My menopause thing(as my thing in general if I feel off) is that I vomit. A lot. We bought some extra fans, so it's been a few weeks now, and, you know, I'm a chucker, but it's a little better. Guessing it's the extra heat--almost wrote "heart"---Dr. Freud would say there are no typos, I'm not sure myself. (Also, weirdly, somewhat hard to recognize, compared to, say, Nausea Classic, in that there is more discomfort and pressure than queasiness, really, up until the pivotal moment.) I hate that I always have to wonder if that is about reflux or a CP thing(doctors want stuff to be a CP thing cause they don't have to know and they could "What are you gonna do?" it, but because this is not puberty there are no bigger girls to take cues from-- I am the older girls, and doing my usual bang-up job of it, too. I got Rick-rolled, sort of, at the DMV getting my ID updated.

That suuuuucks, erika (the nausea, I don't feel as strongly about getting Rick-rolled these days although I am curious how the DMV would manage it!)

That which does not kill you should RUN

compared to, say, Nausea Classic

None of the versions of nausea (Classic; Nausea 2: Electric Boogaloo; Nausea Strikes Back; Nausea: This Time It's Cyclospora!) are awesome.

I keep getting random weird things. My eyes will randomly statt feeling dry and then that goes away.

There is my Mystery GI symptoms, ehich i guess is IBS and GERD . But then i get worried because i didn't have a colonoscopy because i had just had one....but what if my issues aren't because I ate too much dairy or corn or does my bowel movement look abnormal what if it's not the GI stuff but colon cancer.

My joints will randomly start hurting. No hot flashes in a while though.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

(Commentary from a friend: "I just imagined the actor who is playing Lestat in the TV show reading that and ended up laughing so hard I choked.")

Oh god, I can hear it in his voice and it is PERFECT.

Well, they do have video screens at the DMV satellite thing that show pet and Funniest Home videos so I guess they *could* possibly pull off a true RickRoll somehow if somebody was an adept trickster, but I guess that was my way of being funny about hearing that song for the first time in a long while.

It was the Big Boss birthday yesterday so I joked that we all chipped in together and brought him big wins in Michigan and that somebody paid a lot for shipping.

Whew all the fun nausea for everyone! I was at a dance convention last weekend and Friday night I puked right after bed, but assumed it was because I had pizza shortly before bed and shouldn’t have. But then Saturday I wasn’t feeling hungry and Saturday night I got super sick every 30-45 minutes for 8 hours. It was miserable. I was still in very rough shape the rest of Sunday and couldn’t take any of the classes or DJ like I was supposed to! And I still felt pretty bad Monday and Tuesday and even a bit yesterday (just nauseous, but still!).

Leaving on Sunday for Iceland!! Not at all prepared and not accepting that Sunday is in three days.
