ugh

i got less than 4 hours sleep. I have a massive sinus headache but it was the sheer heat in the room that kept me awake. I ended up sitting outside on the porch with the snow trying to cool off.

then the anxiety crap started (thank you diabetes) so i couldn't sleep.

at least the snow looks like a field of diamonds and that's pretty

I don't have the diabetes or anxiety problems, but I'm with you on the sinuses. Ow.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it STILL hurts like hell but ti's not sinuses, oh no, not according to the sinus specialist. Forget about the fact i've been told it was for 30 years or more or that I have classic symptoms and i get a sinus infection yearly. Luckily me, i found an old idiot.

That is, like, the exact opposite of my problem. My room is far, far too cold. I need an electric blanket. Honestly, this house has heat. I know it does. The problem is the heating ducts need cleaning.

So I'm screwed and wake up with every inch of me absolutely aching after four hours or so of actual sleep.

I also have my mother telling me it's diagnosing myself to know that the cerebellum controls the muscles.

Oh, how I wanted to walk away. She wanted to know why I couldn't stand up straight.

I don't know what she wants -- a smart daughter or a dumb one, I honestly don't know.

Anyway, feel free to send some of that heat up here, if you please.

you can have my heat. Sorry your family is still being so frustrating

I'm used to it. All I really need is a good distraction -- like fanfiction -- and more often than not I'm no longer angry in about ten minutes or so, usually.

Just to check -- the cerebellum does control the muscles, yes? I don't want to be annoyed for no good reason.

i'm not that quick to get over things

the cerebellum controls the muscle movement to a point but initiation of muscle movement comes from the area just anterior to the central gyrus in the frontal lobe and the basal nuclei and the strial-nigra formation play a role.

[angelfirenze.livejournal.com]

Is the central gyrus the same thing as the fusiform gyrus or are they two separate types?

Also, is the strial-nigra formation anywhere near the brain stem like with the pons or the cerebellar tonsils?

I also wonder, had I not been born with neurological underdevelopment, would I be so interested in all of this or want to be a physician at least of a sort?

Guess I'll never know.

I am actually reading Gray's Anatomy from the beginning because it's very relaxing and I need that. I've managed to retain most of what I've read so far. The last thing I mainly recall were yellow elastic fibers, I presume for the tendons?

It's not specifying at the moment. What I'd like to do is stop procrastinating and finally finish the TINY little part of Human Anatomy: From the Renaissance to the Digital Age I have left. Like, less than thirty pages, but my usual habit of getting near the end of a book and just stopping (it took me four years to finish Slaughter-house Five for this very reason) is kind of getting in the way.

That and I keep going back to examine the lithographs. Must concentrate!
