Hello to new readers cornfields and dinyel!

Medical
Taking brain drugs now. As for the rest of me... this is the second night in a row pain has kept me from sleep. And last night, I took Ambien! This is ungood.

Also ungood
I haven't been writing. Nyargh. *sigh*

Blogathon
Remember to sponsor me! I am currently at $35, thanks to Anonymous, solcita, and dinyel. I know I can do better than that. Remember, this is for RAINN!

Daily Science
Tons of stories for the price of one! Well, none, really. Although you can send me books or BPAL if you feel like paying me.

Yes. Anyway. The Synapse, a neuroscience carnival.

Daily BPAL
Harvest Moon update is up! And there's nothing else in the update. Frustrating! I wanted to be able to order more than one thing at once, so's to save on shipping, but Carnaval Diabolique has not landed. And I have no clue when it will. If I knew it wouldn't be up til August, I'd throw in a bottle of Chaos Theory, or Bengal, or Drink Me.

Important disability-application question

I see the disability doctor later this week, so she can evaluate whether the epilepsy and side effects disable me enough for a gummint check. (Yes, I'm terribly nervous about that, thanks for asking.)

Since I started the disability process, I have developed another condition that would qualify me for disability.

Do I tell this doctor? Do I have my primary-care doctor (who I have to call today) tell the adjucator? Do I call the adjucator? Do I include a note with my epilepsy-related paperwork?

This is complicated. And I have been running on not much sleep these last few days, which impairs my decision-making abilities.

On the other hand: I think there's a reason for everything, and that maybe the reason for this is to allow me to try Lyrica or Neurontin, both of which are cleared for use in both epilepsy and neuropathic pain. And maybe the reason we're still in Atlanta is so this could be uncovered by a doctor that I have an existing and friendly relationship with. And I'm going to go call her office now, actually. (EDIT: Called and left message. I am a good girl. *decisive nod* Am now on hold with the opthalmologist's office, because this is the month we check and see if I have glaucoma yet.)

Okay, it has been a long-ass time since high school French.

Crazy request.

I have untouched 50ml bottles of the following perfumes:

Insomny, by Michel Klein
Annam, by Tan Giudicelli
Love, Etc., by Corinne Cobson

All three are discontinued.

I cannot find any info about them on English-speaking sites. Lots in French. Lots in Russian.

Can anyone help me figure out what these might be going for?

(Yes, missakins, I think I need to see you about putting some stuff on eBay. Perfume, business suits, corset... a Barbie exactly like this one...)

Very brief BPAL review

Black Annis smells like very bad body odor. With a hint of licorice.

*looks at site* It's the civet. Civet = evil.
