Life as a Possible–or Probable–Narcoleptic

29-Jun-08

It seems like I might finally know why I fall asleep all the time, and it my not just be that “button on my butt” that I inherited from my grandpa. It might actually be narcolepsy, which is also genetic–makes sense to me.

Waiting Room Humor: I’m Here for a Hearing Aid

12-Jun-08

Yesterday I had my monthly visit to the ear, nose, and throat specialist. It’s a joyful trip that includes getting off work around noon (sometimes I go back to the office) and sitting outside in the hall before the door opens from their lunch.
