Because I know I had you all on the edge of your seats. Turns out the lyrics are easy to understand when your mate doesn't have the hifi in full overdrive  . Impeccable description such very language.

My ex's dog used to react to the intro of this song by cocking his head inquisitively at every "O-oh".

Needless to say, I've heard it a few times.

God, I had to take a double dose of my meds last night, and now I just feel... slow. It just feels like I've been robbed of my brainpower. Ugh.

[Caz]

>_> are you supposed to do that? It seems like it would be unwise somehow.

[King Zultan]

Why would you have to double up on your meds?

[methylatedspirit]

Eh, my shrink tells me that I'm allowed to do that if I'm really suffering. I see it as the SCRAM lever to my brain. Personally, I don't particularly like my meds, so I don't double my dose unless I have a damn good reason; only in cases in which I would prefer brain death to suffering any further. Speaking of which:

Why would you have to double up on your meds?

I was agonizing over something to such an extent that I couldn't think of anything else while I was trying to sleep. The only fucking thing I could think of was that. I had two choices: lay in bed in mental agony for hours on end, or practically kill myself just to get the pain to stop. I chose death over torture. I quite enjoy living, so that was a difficult, but necessary choice to make.

At least I have most of my brain back right now. It's just that the meds really do make me feel like I'm dying at double doses (I merely tolerate the regular dose, mind you), so I try my hardest to not use it if at all possible.

It's been snowing recently. Normally that would go in the happy thread, but a lot of it was powder snow, and apparently, the wind has been blowing it below my roof tiles.

Up until yesterday, I was stuck working on my laptop for several days, due to some logistical issues in getting back to my PC caused by the snow. So when I finally got back to my PC yesterday, I was quite happy, as pretty much everything about working on my laptop is less comfortable than working on my PC. More appropriate screen position, better chair, more mouse buttons, more powerful machine, everything.

Now that it's getting a little warmer, all of that snow under my roof tiles is melting, and now I'm seeing several drops of water per second coming out of the edge of my ceiling. Almost poetically, all of the water is coming in exactly where my computer screen is. So I have to disconnect everything and move it away from the wall, for fear of all of it being destroyed by a single drop of water. And just like that, I'm back to working on my laptop until the snow is gone.

My laptop is plenty capable of handling the tasks I give it, but my PC is just better at everything I need it to do. Hence, mildly upset.

Also, one of my posters got wet. Fortunately, after taking them all down and just placing them on the floor for a few hours, you can barely notice it was wet.

I shouted at someone (rare occurrence, in this case 1000000% justified) and I think it set my throat back a bit.

Two months of little-to-zero speech versus ten seconds of anger - which will win? 

[Rolan7]

I've felt that too, even before covid19.  Fortunately not recently.  Going all out like that... really stresses the body.  My throat hurt for a couple of days, each time.

[Caz]

yeah voice endurance is a thing I guess? I stopped singing for a long time then even one song would make me tired afterwards. not 'tired tired', but as in the voice wouldn't make the correct sounds easily.

I'm just happy that you can talk some again

[TD1]

Thanks! So am I. So very, very happy.

I didn't speak a word for six weeks straight. It was... not good.

The shouting was a terrible idea though. I can speak a bit, but it comes and goes, so extra strain was not helpful.

[scriver]

Congrats, dwarfious!

[Caz]

Damn, what happened to your voice?

[ChairmanPoo]

Damn, what happened to your voice?

He gave it up to a sea witch in exchange for legs

[Caz]

never. trust. the. sea. witch.
