Ease

Dude. That's absolutely mesmerizing.

Also, I am in lots of pain. My knees feel invisible. But it's okay. Took stuff for it (DLPA, ALCAR). Pain is going away now. Oh, hey, did you know that guaifenesin helps? Mucinex, 200 mg. Seriously.

Adam and I showered together last night, and he had taken the extra shower head off the additional hose, allowing a single, steady, sharp, intense jet of water to flow from said hose. He used that for some therapy on all my pain points, also some Reiki Adam-style. If you have any sort of neuropathy and chronic muscle pain and someone blasts you with tons of water: Oh my gods. Most incredible sensation ever. Everything loosens up and relaxes and eases and stops hurting. Also, it's kind of ticklish.
I was so happy and sedate that the pain did not register. That's the key, says Adam. It's why he smiles all the time and laughs at the little things. He has chronic pain too. If he didn't allow himself to be so relaxed and joyful, he'd probably be curled up in a corner screaming.
I know that feeling.
So, I resolve to be happy, as much as I can. Boosts endorphins and such. Yes.

Fun with sci-fi

Last night with the new plasma TV. Having downloaded the latest "Doctor Who" episode, "Utopia" (yes, still too impatient for July), we start to watch it and the first scene is chaos. The Doctor and Martha in the TARDIS which is going nuts, the Doctor says in shock, "We're going too fast through time. We're heading to the end of the universe!"
I glance up and remark, "End of the universe, huh? I hope they brought snacks."
"Don't worry," Adam says. "There's a restaurant."

Ba-dum-ching.

No spoilers, and a reference to two brilliant science fiction creations in one. Yay.

"Utopia" was phenomenal and unbelievably edge-of-seat breathtaking -- but not as awesome as "Blink" (then again, I don't think any episode is more awesome than "Blink").
