Is Darcy going to get Harris to tell her about the thing with the tank?

“I’m working on it.  Dear God, I’m working on it.”

“Every chance she gets.”

“He’s proving to be more resilient than expected.”

“She didn’t expect much.”

“I’ll be honest.  Yes.  That is true.  And I am a master of subtle interrogation.”

“She brings it up during sex.”

“Damn straight I do.  My hips create loose lips.”

“Darce...”

“Tell me about the tank.”

“No.”

I listen to audiobooks at night. Books I have read, know and like. This gives me something to focus on when the brain is busy, and let me know that I really did sleep even though it didn't feel like it because I missed a chapter.

I've downloaded a white-noise maker app w/customization of sounds for it to help sleep, or I've listen to Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Star Talk podcast, as his voice is soothing to listen to. Both help for quieting my head in times similar to yours. :)

I have music that I listen to some nights, and I've done podfic and audiobooks too. I've always done audiobooks -- as a kid it was popples and coversational klingon and patrick stewart doing A Christmas Carol.

But the number one thing to help me sleep? the dulcet tones of my twin brother's echolalia. I am seriously considering asking my parents to record a night of it for me. It's immensely comforting.

Mental illness is like fighting a war and the enemy tells you there is no war. I'm with you, love. I take my Effexor every day.

THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE.

@lilbrarian, @someoddsense

You two have won something, but you do not have asks open. Either fanmail your addresses if you live in the USA/Canada, or let me know what other arrangements you'd like to make, be they a short drabble, headcanon, world-building question answered, whathaveyou.

ZzzQuil is Benadryl. It depends on how you react to antihistamines.

Oh lame... no wonder it doesn't do anything for me... I was totally that allergy kid everyone knew growing up, so my body is so used to antihistamines that they don't make me drowsy at all :/

OMG probably better not! One keeps you up the other makes you super drowsy! I can’t take either, they make me high (literally!) Theraflu has always helped me (the powder mix)

Yeah I figured it'd probably be a bad idea... I've never been overly sensitive to meds but I figured 2 am was not the right time to start experimenting. I definitely think I should make someone pick up some threaflu for me at some point today...

Reflexology. Seriously. There are points in the fingers and toes that help your sinuses drain. Toes are more effective, but fingers are easier to reach. You can tell when you’re at the right spot because it hurts.

Oooooh.... Any websites/tips/whatnot? I'm willing to try basically anything. :P

I don't think so? I mean I feel pretty alright except for being exhausted. 

yolandaash said: missing REM sleep? or low iron?

I've been sleeping pretty deeply so I don't think that's the issue, but you might be on to something with the iron. I had issues with anemia when I was in high school but it corrected itself once I was through with puberty... but I haven't been eating a lot of meat other than turkey or chicken lately so it might be worth buying a couple steaks and pairing them with a spinach salad and seeing if that helps.

Because again I slept over 9 hours last night and have only been awake for 13 hours and I only worked a half day so it's not like that was overly tiring but I'm struggling to keep my eyes open.

lady-banner replied to your post “My NYCC (tentative) schedule:”

looks like our saturday panel schedules are p much the same! *g* and I'm gonna be at the tumblr meet-up!

Whoo-hoo!!!!

I'm really hoping KS announces whether she's going to be at the All-New Marvel Now panel before-hand. I assume she will be, simply because of the last-minute nature of her trip, with Fraction staying home + no solicits for Captain Marvel for the last two months. I mean, I'm hoping so hard, but I feel like Marvel will break my poor little heart.

If she's *not* going to be there, my chances of hanging out and waiting for the Agents of SHIELD panel pretty much skyrocket. 

lilbrarian replied to your post “My NYCC (tentative) schedule:”

The only day I'm sure I'll be there is Thursday. I'm hitting the Pro "Fandoms in the Library panel at 1:00. I'll try to hit the Women in Comics panel, too, but I know I'm heading home before the Tumblr meetup.

Awww, :( :(. But they have a shot called "Harry Potter"! And I might or might not be dragging my 5-mos pregnant baby sister along!

lilbrarian replied to your post “i am a big fan of your promises and pie crust story on ao3 and I've gotta ask, can you give the recipe for the green eggs and ham breakfast pie? I would love to try it out”

I will have to try this recipe. Although I think I will do pureed spinach instead of green food coloring and leave out the onion - both because of allergies.

Ohh the spinach sounds nice.. pureed or not. I am a big fan of really simple base recipes that you can add whatever you want to. I don't often make quiche but every once in a while its a nice Sunday brunch treat.
