Watching "Furious" and damn, Quincy Tyler Bernstine (who plays Nora) is so GD good in this. The faces she pulls during an employee outreach meeting reaching out to folks with PTSD. Fantastic.

I hope the outrage about this and coverage includes the fact that many other men were in that group chat and none of them called the police.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Unexpected convo re physics with my doctor today: Doctor: You could even go through a window in your sleep. Me: Oh, we close and lock our windows. Doctor: Yeah. Well. Not to be alarmist, but I mean *through* a window. The glass. Me: Oh. . . . Like Chuck Norris.

I told the office cat to call it for the night and go home to his family, but he is so damn commited.

Overheard: Mom (to her kid): Do you have a license to drive? Kid: No. Mom: Then you don't have a license to cross the street on your own. Kid: . . . Mom: Did you hear me? Kid: What, do I need a license to be annoyed, too?

In its last act of defiance, while lugging the ancient inkjet printer that has ruined my life for weeks out of our home, an ink cartridge exploded all over my hands. I look like my bank robbery just got foiled by a clever teller. My fingernails are going to be cyan for a week.

Working with my docs to figure out if my DEB is RBD, TSD, or some other expression of PTSD. And if RBD, whether it is iRBD or secondary to N1, maybe, despite my current N2 diagnosis. Fwiw, I don't have RLS. Understand these acronyms? Let's be friends. Losing my mind.

Had such a good idea for a novel in my sleep last night. Woke up for a few mins and thought I typed a note about it to myself. Apparently, what I managed to do is Google "literary agent" instead. Damn, that must have been one good idea.

Still missing Callie like crazy. Our neighbors are amazing. They've dropped off all of these gifts and cards and the coziest blanket I have ever owned.

Weird pre-bed routine I assume everyone else does too after taking an edible: Announce you're going to bed. Wander toward kitchen. Say, "I'm just going to have a look - to see - for tomorrow." Open a cupboard door. Look at nothing. Close cupboard door. Say "huh, okay." Go to bed.

Thank you for all of the love and support. This hit me so hard. She was my service dog for years and I don't know if I'd be here without her. Everyone in our bldg loved her and I keep opening our door to find little gifts. Tea, a very cozy blanket, flowers, and cards. I am so touched.

I just gave my dog the "one minute" finger when she needed something while I was on a call and then got mildly annoyed at her when she didn't understand what that meant. I've evolved into the final form of attorney monster.

My sister changed the default error sound on our first computer (Mac OS) to audio of a quote from Cool Hand Luke: "What we have here is failure to communicate." My mom yelled "what the fuck" the first time she heard it. After a day it became infuriating. My sister never changed it back.

Sometimes, I like to imagine I am just one of many narcoleptic attorneys who is plotting and executing secret little naps to get through the day. Like, if you searched any courthouse, you'd find half a dozen of us taking tiny covert naps in inconspicuous places.

The point of an anti stalking order is for the police to know whose door to knock on first after they find your body.

Fix anything lately that you're proud of? YouTube DIY successes count. I inherited a record player with missing parts, and figured out what a "headshell" is. I realized a turntable works like most rotating parts on a car and that mine was missing a "belt." Fixed it. Plays beautifully.

If your sleep disorders get weird enough, your doctors will start advising you like you are a werewolf who may turn at any moment. Moving furniture, securing objects, anticipating falls . . . alienating loved ones for their own safety and caging yourself in a cellar during full moons, etc.
