Can’t study today.

I’ve been repeatedly asking C if I could drive every time we used his car during the past couple of weeks and he always said no.

Once he let me drive to the petrol station. It’s literally two houses down the street.

Another time he let me repark the car. It was on the next street and he insisted on coming with me but we had an argument so he parked his voluptious arse in front of the computer and turned all grumpy and I shouted if you’re not coming I’m going alone and he shouted fine and I stormed out of the house. I rageparked the car perfectly with just one u-turn.

After that I became convinced that it was a matter of one step at a time and persisted in asking for permission to drive. Tonight we were lazing around waiting for the right time for me to leave for the train home. C didn’t want to drive me because he already missed one game of HoN and I’m less important. However, we hadn’t eaten dinner and C was hungry. I offered to drive to Maccas and bring back food and I could almost see the dilemma in his head.

Maccas is on the way to her house.

But I don’t want to drive her home.

But I’m hungry.

But I don’t want to let her drive.

BUT I’M HUNGRY.

In the end I drove the both of us to Maccas. The roads were quiet. When a car on the right lane passed me he screamed.

I was a bit smug when I mentioned lack of accident and C said how about next time you drive to Caves Beach without a map or phone.

Thyroid is annoying.

Reasons:

1. Presentations of primary hypothyroidism are diverse and often atypical. Which means if you’re feeling a little bit off, it could be your thyroid. Or it could not. If your muscles are a bit sore, it could be your thyroid. Or it could not. If you’re a bit sad, it could be your thyroid. Or it could not.
2. Presentations of thyrotoxicosis (i.e. hyperthyroidism, i.e. the exact opposite of the above) are often atypical. Which means if you’re feeling any of the aforementioned symptoms, you could have either too much OR too little thyroxine. Or, of course, it could just be nothing.
3. Lithium, amiodarone and iodine excess can cause hypothyroidism or thyrotoxicosis. That’s like saying a sleeping tablet can either knock you out or keep you up.
4. In severe thyrotoxicosis, full dosage of an antithyroid drug is used, with possible addition of lithium, cholestyramine and glucocorticoids. Despite the fact that lithium can make thyroxine levels go either way.
5. Hyperparathyroidism is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Parathyroid hormone is used to treat osteoporosis. And that’s like saying if you burn your hand, burn it some more.
6. The parathyroid hormone doesn’t even have anything to do with the thyroid.

In regards to lithium and PTH, they exert different (in fact opposite) effects at different doses/concentrations but that’s just another reason supporting how retarded this whole thing is.

Bill Gates is a Crazy Person

Before I retire (I love using that word instead of “going to sleep”. I imagine pompous little men with monocles and a British accent) for the night here’s a Bill Gates email from emailsfromcrazypeople.com which is actually authentic, as evidenced by this article.
