Everyone owes to the pillar box a debt they can't repay

Rabbit, rabbit! I went out to mail the rent and took no pictures of the last of the daylight I walked around in, but it faded very beautifully like hand-tinting behind the slopes of the streets. I had intended to get out of the house earlier, but once again there was the immovable repose of cat.

I slept very little last night and can expect to sleep very little for most of this week because thanks to some upcoming testing, I have been obliged to stop all of my allergy medications since night before last and therefore developed immediately a face-crunching headache and the sensation that my skin is trying to secede from itself. I understand the medical necessity and object to the experience.

[personal profile] spatch has determined that the Electro-Matic and similar local relics of traffic serve as shrines to Hermes, but disagrees with me that we should obviously then put dicks on them.

I believe I officially outlived Alan Turing just about a week ago, which is a weird thought.

I am sorry about the lack of allergy meds! I hope the tests will be useful.

Ow. I mean, even without the face-crunching, that'd be a lot. *hugs* very gently if of use. I hope that the tests return clear, actionable results.

I laughed, and I agree with you :-)

Do you want Alcibiades? That's how you get Alcibiades.

Good luck with the testing.

Duolingo keeps asking me "What is in the lararium?" but never explains what a lararium is. I keep picturing an aquarium with one solitary little Lar swimming about, bereft of other Lares and Penates.

Eeep, skin trying to secede from itself is a very successful simile, and I am terribly sorry. How long before you can restart the allergy medications?

If you were to announce a new cult requiring that local relics of traffic be adorned with dicks, I PROMISE you, your number of adolescent boy adherents would skyrocket.

Fingers crossed the testing is useful, after the misery of prepping. *gentle hugs*

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this. I hope you don't have to be off too long and that the results of the test lead to improvements (and getting back on the allergy meds).
