Randomness

Today's random phrase from my subconscious: "fevered lizard."

As cold-blooded animals, lizards cannot become fevered unless they are overheated. Is my subconscious mind trying to tell me that I am overly stressed and need to move to a cooler, calmer environment?

Interestingly, infected lizards will induce fevers in themselves by moving to warmer areas if at all possible, and studies have shown that laboratory lizards who are allowed to do this recover from their infections more quickly than lizards who remain cool. Maybe my subconscious mind is trying to tell me that in order to fight some disease of the soul I need to move myself into a more exciting place?

Or maybe my subconscious just thinks that "Fevered Lizard" would be a great name for a rock band.

In other developments, because I arrived at the Social Services office today too late for an interview, I now have an appointment for Monday morning at 8 a.m. Have I mentioned lately how much of a morning person I'm not? I'm gonna have to wake up before sunrise! It's not natural! ::whine::

(Little-known fact: The hummingwolf was once a morning person. She outgrew it.)

Other plans for today: Wait for people in assorted offices to return from lunch and make some necessary phone calls. I hate that my life these days revolves around the telephone. Why can't the folks I need to talk to for disability & job hunt related things correspond by e-mail like sensible people? Sheesh.

Okay, it's Halloween--time for chocolate.

Although lizards do not get fecers, they are prone to colds, and URIs. Which is the reason you will often hear people talking about "sneezing lizards."

You are a very strange man.

Of course your mention of URIs made me think of Uri Geller, so now the lizards in my head are bending spoons with the power of their fevered minds.

Just as long as they don't sneeze on the spoons. No one want to clean up after sneezing lizards.

You are a very strange man.

What if I'm normal?
