Man, that sucks. I hope you get a solution soon.

I think for some folks there's something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can't shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can't freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.
I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we're still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.
The scene where they're all buried and poisoned while the den is torn apart and the rabbits are trapped, desperately trying to push nose-first past all the bodies clogging the dead-end passages.. I had a lot of bad dreams from that one!
Seconded! I found out in my late twenties that I was waking up every three minutes, all night long. I used to sleep 10-18 hours a day if I could get the time, and was still exhausted.
I won't even nap without my breathing machine now; the difference is shocking.
I am so glad to discover that Notley is still at it! I've added BtAF to my rss list, thank you for the post.
The squirrel suit will save me!! :D
I would like to try hang gliding but also don't want to admit this is likely a terrible idea!
Here's a few! While I mostly use the RSS feeds from these sites, I often read the web versions too:
- Hack a Day, wonderful place to get clued into ground-up explorations of technical topics from the outside
- BBC News, good for a world perspective that's not fully US-centric but still in English
- OSNews, Operating System news for nerds like me who get legitimately excited for things like installing plan9 on bare metal
- Ken Shirrif's Blog, the paragon of long-form teardown & explanation of vintage electronics, deeply insightful, terrifyingly technical but still approachable. Okay, not a daily update, but worth the wait
- Create Digital Music, solid and considered electronic music instrument news and articles, for us unreformed synthesizer geeks
Strawberry preserves here!
TuxCart is pretty good!
Cards With Cats is a solid Hearts game.
PySolFC is a slightly clunky but workable solitaire.
I love Lexica, a word game similar to Boggle.
Finally, CrossWords is a good scrabble clone, though I've had issues with network multiplayer buggering itself. Good for local play still.
