I go to this hippie doctor for my fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome, one of those types that uses conventional medicine and homeopathic blah blah - it's kind of ridiculous sometimes, but she's done 200% more for me feeling better than any doctor I've ever had, so whatevs. Usually when I go in she injects... something into my surgery scar, which always really helps me feel a lot better generally. But today at my appointment, she told me that she has a new way to treat it, without injection, that involves - get this - a device that you point at the scar that apparently puts your body back into line with the vibrations of the earth. There is a crystal in the device. SHE SHOT HEALING BEAMS OF CRYSTAL AT ME. Hahahahahahaha. Strangely, I do feel better? I don't even know, you guys. It was weird.
The great thing about going to a chronic fatigue doctor is that they always act like I'm heroic for, like, leading a normal life and "only" sleeping 10 hours a night. Their eyes get all wide and they're like, "You're doing SO WELL. You walk to campus? Good for you!" Haha. Yes. I'm practically a mountaineer, let me tell you.
I'm on a lot of medication for this annoying medical stuff, obvs, most of which I've been on for years and years. The weird thing about the medication is that the pharmacy keeps adding warning labels to the bottles which haven't been there before - some of this stuff I've been taking for almost 10 years, warning-free, and yet. Some of the warnings are normal, like "don't take antacids within 4 hours of taking this medication," or "take with a full glass of water". But some of them have gotten WEIRD-ASS. One says, "You should avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial sunlight while taking this medicine." Um. (When I read this out loud to her,
moireach said, "Well, maybe you shouldn't be taking vampiricillin, then.") And another one says, "Carry or wear medical identification stating you are taking this medicine." Uh... no. I will not be doing that, but thank you. Why after years they have suddenly decided I should wear medical identification for this one, I have no idea, but it's creepy.
In television news, How I Met Your Mother got renewed! HOORAY! I was stressing about that one kind of a lot. ALSO, tonight is the season finale of The Office! *bites nails* (I'm still unspoiled, keep me that way!) In celebration of what has been a fantastic third season so far, here's a list of ten platonic unexpected character moments, where two characters you wouldn't necessarily think of interacting have some kind of moment together. (I would say top ten, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some - I am taking nominations of other moments in the comments!) So here they are, in no particular order.
