So I'm trying really hard to not go on a lengthyrant about paper straws.  So hard!  It's just that they...  No.  Resist the rant!  Got to my happy place.

Owww... Kittens!

Ah, that's better. What was I talking about?

It really sucks that the medication doesn't seem to be an ongoing option for you.  But as you say, you do seem to have adapted to having little sleep.  I'm really not sure how you'd still be awake at this stage if you hadn't.

There's different types of intelligent sh!t.  You don't have to write long explanations about quantum mechanics to be intelligent.  Being a compassionate, caring, and sympathetic towards others takes intelligence.  Intelligence isn't just learning a bunch of random facts, it's how we think and our ability to see outside of our own immediate needs and desires.  You have that in spades.  You always know what to write to someone.  That in itself makes you very intelligent in my eyes.  So it must be true because I'm smart as sh!t! 🤣
