Have had half a dozen heart monitors - you should be okay as it's usually just a little box you clip to your waistband with the electrodes + leads, so as long as you don't snag the leads/can tolerate laying on them during physio, you should be fine. I did gym classes wearing monitors without issue. And be prepared for the echo - they're not terribly comfy to have done, just bc they have to press to get a good image.

Thank you for the heads up! Everywhere I’ve read said to expect some “discomfort” and I was like “what does that mean”, but I’m not overly worried over it. I can take a little bit of extra discomfort to make sure my heart is doing what it’s meant to be doing. What I can’t take is my chronic pain getting worse cause I keep having to skip physio meaning I lose my mobility and my ability to shitpost. That’s the real travesty here.

Laszlo Kreizler Headcanons Part 2

Headcanon 5: 

(Slight spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't read The Angel of Darkness) 

Laszlo views Sara Howard as a sister like figure. In The Angel of Darkness we learn that he has a sister who lives in London, who he is no longer close with. I think the way Sara thinks and how resourceful she is kind of reminds him of himself in some ways. But how head strong and powerful she is reminds him of the sister he was once very close with. I think that's why he openly shows her love, comfort, and kindness in the last half of the second story. 

Headcanon 6: 

He goes to the opera often, because it helps clear his mind. The music and singing gives him a sort of outlet to get lost in. It's a place where he can press all of his thoughts and worries to the back of his mind. I also like to believe that Don Giovanni by Mozart is his favorite. 

Headcanon 7: 

He's actually very artistic. In his dealings with children he uses creative things such as building blocks, toys, and art to help the kids open up and feel comfortable. I like to believe that John gave him a few drawing lessons. Obviously the two of them ended up arguing within the first ten minutes, but everything worked out in the end. Also, he seems to have a thing for poetry in Caleb Carr's second book. 

Headcanon 8: 

He dreams of having children of his own. I think the biggest reason why he wants kids is to give them the life he never had. From working with children there's no doubt that he'd basically be the perfect dad. But due to the way he thinks he'd raise his children to be accepting of all races, sexualitis, and religions. He'd be the father of the most modern thinking kids ever. I think that's so beautiful and pure.

38, 41, 43 for the end of the year ask meme? 😊

38. What was the best moment of the year for you?

I am very fortunate and have a pretty good life and can think of many, many excellent moments from this past year. So I’ll give you the first two that come to mind: (1) my mom has wanted to visit England for her whole life, so going on a family trip there with her last fall was very cool; and (2) tonight, for the first year, both our kids stayed awake till midnight to ring in the new year, and we bundled up and walked to a building near us and went up on the fire escape so we could watch the fireworks at midnight. 

41. Did anything happen to you that you were sure wouldn’t change you as a person but it did?

Probably? But I honestly can’t think of anything at the moment.

43. What have you learned about yourself this year that you didn’t know in the years prior?

I like gin! And gin & tonics can be delicious! Who knew!?

thanks, Meg! Happy New Year! :D

talk about your TBR

I was tagged by @novelogical​! 

I don’t actually have a TBR list anywhere. I have a pile of books on my nightstand and unread books on my Kindle and a couple dozen more books scattered around my bookshelves that I plan to read someday, when the time is right. So I literally just walked around my house counting all the books I could find that I haven’t read yet. :P 

rules:

Look at your TBR pile or list

Get 3 numbers from a random number generator 

Talk about what books correspond to the numbers you were given. (Why are they on there? Were they recommended to you? Etc.)

Tag people to do the same

I counted 43 books in my house/on my kindle that are TBR.

41: Medieval Lives by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira

Yes, that Terry Jones, of Monty Python. :) This is a history of the European Middle Ages that I’ve actually been reading on and off for a couple years, mainly on airplanes. I think this is one of the books I bought at Blackstone’s when I visited @pepperf​ in Oxford the first time.

13: Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady’s Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners by Therese Oneill

This is more or less exactly what it says on the tin, a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek guide to what everyday life was like for Victorian women. The author’s note is titled, “Hello, Slattern,” which should tell you all you need to know. I bought this on the recommendation of my friend @noirbettie, who is never on tumblr anymore, but still has excellent taste.

4: A Feast for Crows, aka the 4th book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, by George R.R. Martin

I caved and started reading the books. The only bits of the TV series Game of Thrones I’ve seen have been in gif form (and a two-hour compilation of all the Jaime/Brienne moments), but that was apparently enough to get me to read this series, which so far I’m enjoying very much. 

Hmm, judging by these titles I like history and/or faux history. :P (It’s true, I do.)
