"[...]a vessel cleaving the dungeon of the waves[...]"
You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by
sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give
consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the
one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions
barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff
could get you killed.

Never miss a word
You're Infinite Jest!
by David Foster Wallace
While you1 consider yourself2 to be clever,
there are those3 who think you're just full of yourself or, perhaps worse,
playing a joke4 on everyone around you, and yet you are pretty sure that
you really are that brilliant after all, since people would hardly take the time to
get to know you5 if they didn't care very deeply about what you had to
say to them, to wit, about their lives, their hopes, their dreams, their fears, their
drug habits, and of course what videos6 they prefer to watch, since,
after all, your impressive vocabulary and tendency to go on and on7 makes
you seem superior, able to educate them, and really drive a sense of something
ineffable into their measly little skulls while you are not above making a cheap
gag or really going after anyone or anything or telling them about incredible
futures involving tennis, geopolitics, and
1Meaning you personally, not someone like you or your own
personal daddy, for example.
2As well as you can see yourself, which, frankly, may not be that well.
3Though we wouldn't deign to be so peripatetic as to name them here, mind.
4Jokes, though not common in Victorian England, were known to originate
sometime in ancient history, perhaps as early as the time of Babylon, or even before.
It is thought that the history of the joke plays an integral role in the mindset of
the characters depicted here, though you may disagree at this point, in which case I
am facing quite the dilemma in relaying this narrative, no?
5It is rather time consuming, after all.
6Ha!

You're The Metamorphosis!
by Franz Kafka
Though you think you're in the midst of a dream, the fact of the
matter is that your life has become a nightmare. The nightmare at first seems
horrific to you, but you are slowly able to adjust to the facts of the matter
and settle down and make do with what you've been given. There are those that
would say you're pointless and absurd, but you're really just trying to
demonstrate that people can (and do) adapt to anything, no matter how absurd
it is. Not that this will really inspire them to change, because they probably
don't understand.

About Me
- Σφιγξ
- possesses wholly unmerited academic pretensions; examines love as an entomologist; collects haunted dollshouses; notes the lunar phase as regularly as the temperature; peruses field guides; reads like a serial magazine subscriptionist; functions through coffee and "mood" music; draws to the very corners of the page; takes notes on unlined paper; reads poetry as prayer; observes textual authority with the incredulity of fiction; suppresses the smart-ass answer(s); adapts as well as anyone beseiged by her own bibelots; she is a sensation seeker in spite of all of this.

By my accounting, I have elided over Exercises 67-76, where I changed Exercise 67 to 77, and Exercise 82. Even though it is confusing, I could make Exercise 82 correspond to XI. Avoir vingt-deux cordes à son arc. It will go here.

I know, I still have Exercises 67-76 to do; I will do them, if unattached to a Card. The numbering would otherwise be confusing.

I will put Exercise 86 here, too.
I read the local paper for the obituary of a patient named Berlyn, admitted with the worst anasarca I have seen. I cared for her through the week, and I remember that her nephew brought her egg salad sandwiches wrapped in foil. I scan the pages, not be macabre, but because I remember these details when I see their faces.

For the first time, I was written up by a hospitalist because I charted a 1.5 liter IV bolus that she had ordered the night before that was not cleared on the IV pump when I came on my shift (administered 2100-0500; IVF without a P-BNP and hypervolemia, problematic). This was not administered on my shift, so its contribution to the intake/output column should have disappeared into the ether. Caroline was educated in the Dutch Caribbean, and I not sure if her insecurity with her practice exacerbated our relations. She refused to send a patient with bilateral pneumonia in the setting of underlying lung disease (sarcoidosis) home with a rescue bronchodilator or any inhaled combo steroid treatment. I questioned this, and even notified the supervisor about this inappropriate discharge. He was consequently readmitted that week and died in the ICU with ARDS. Sometimes it is too easy to cite the race card, but I think he received hastened, inappropriate care because he was black.
Anyhow, I dreaded working with her, so leaving that area was best. In either case, any actions may not have changed the trajectory. She probably thought I was being a cunt, too.

The thought of the break of continuity, after we have come this far, is very upsetting. Similarly, the thought of us being treated with disrespect given the blank check a clinic bills (the endpoint and total a surprise) is devastating.
Yes. The Instituto Bernebeu in Alicante recommends itself for assisting complex cases and diverse couples, but it also provides some much desired privacy. I would not want to pass my co-workers on the way to the clinic in my hospital.
Apparently, high caffeine intake does not diminish anti-Muellerian hormone (AMH), and, I can have it drawn locally and processed in five days. The results are emailed, and I can pay with my HSA. I wi be on this, soon.
I will strive to be more constructive, but then I get very upset when it is the habit of others in my work life and home to burden me with excessive responsibilities, and I cannot think of having a life outside of this.*

I will get the lab test Thursday, 3/12/20, and then I will post the emailed results here.
Quest labs is overwhelmed with test processing; I will follow-up on this as able.
Yes, the Exercise with the Egyptian funerary box could be inside view of the garden in Exercise 86. I misnumber frequently due to their recursive theme.
What upsets me more than the thought of my grandmother, who weighed 89.6 on March 8th, dying of starvation and dehydration now that the facility is closed to visitors, is that her passing liberates some of my connection here. I will losr my maternal rootedness, as I gain some other connections.

I will try again with the lab.

The stats are worthless either way (adequate or miserably low AMH levels) to me. I will pursue it again, sometime, but not because I am hoping that it convinces you.
Or dissuades you.

"Great! Based on your answers, you'll test 6 hormones: AMH, TSH, FSH, E2, PRL, and LH."

I ordered it now. To be honest, I never tracked my period in terms of days because it was never an issue.

Results for October 17, 2023: all normal
AMH - 2.83 ng/mL (2–6.8 ng/ml)
FSH - 8.32 mIU/mL (4.7 to 21.5 mIU/mL)
E2 (Estradiol) - 99.1 pg/mL (30 to 400 pg/mL)
TSH - 3.00 uIU/mL (0.5 to 5.0 mIU/L)
LH - 5.98 mIU/mL (5 to 25 IU/L)
Your Ovarian Reserve hormone, AMH, FSH, and E2 indicate:
You may have an average number of eggs for your age.
You may reach menopause around the average age of 51.
A doctor would expect to retrieve an average number of eggs in a single treatment cycle. Pursuing egg freezing or IVF isn't right for everyone. The decision often involves thinking through your reproductive goals, finances, relationship, and your beliefs.
Your normal AMH means you can likely expect to retrieve an average number of eggs for your age in a single treatment cycle. A cycle is >$12,000.
If you are able to retrieve 10 eggs to freeze today, one study estimates that you would have about a 45% chance of having a baby using those eggs7.

My niece is starting the comparison game early. My generation shopped at Claire's, the gateway skank store, in fifth grade. Now, it is absolutely required that she get a minibag from Claire's for summer school before first grade.
She feels insecure because her tutor said that she is slow to pronounce polysyllables in the prescribed workbooks yesterday. I told Keith she should do her workbooks, and then she can get the satchel at the Valley View Claire's.

I still take the Ritual vitamins for stress, which depletes folate and B12, too.
