Feel Happier in Nine Seconds
Feel Happier in Nine Seconds | Linda Besner
1 post | 1 to read
Featuring a series of color poems sparked by a job writing nonfiction magazine articles about synaesthesia and Fisher Price refrigerator magnets, the poems in this collection are as alive as the world from which they borrow. Besner plumbs the depths of alternative physics, glamour, economics, and virtual reality with great attention to prosody and a bleak sense of humor.

gradcat That title annoys the hell out of me...don‘t get me started on the cover!! @Andrew65 Are you feeling any better? 5y
EadieB @gradcat Yes it does take a little longer than 9 seconds to feel better. What has it been for @Andrew65 ? Something like 9 weeks! 5y
gradcat I know! 9 seconds—as if! 😂 5y
Librarybelle Yikes! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB @gradcat Now ongoing for 10 weeks or so. What do we know so far, no ulcer or anything sinister in stomach. There is inflammation in the stomach, and gastritis. No Gall stones present but doctor still has a theory that a gall stone has passed. Liver readings an issue, abnormal readings although seem to have peaked (possibly) and come down again bit still not yet in normal area. Had a blood test yesterday so hoping gone down again. 🤞 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB @gradcat Still getting stomach pains similar to gall stones. Doctor thinks could be the gastritis. Not been as bad this week, it seems to peak at weekends at the moment. Possibly because of tests, this weekend could be telling as no tests. (edited) 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I hope you get some answers soon as 10 weeks is too long to suffer with this problem. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB I know, just don‘t see an end at the moment. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 So sorry because you are too nice of a person to have to be so uncomfortable for so long. Very frustrating! Hopefully the inflammation will die down soon! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks 😊I am hoping the liver readings may indicate improvements. 🤞 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 There should be some improvement if you stopped eating the foods that irritate your stomach. I guess when you get the final diagnosis then they will know what to do to help you. 5y
dragondrool @Andrew65 Hope everything gets sorted out soon. 5y
Andrew65 @dragondrool Thanks 😊 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Oh, Andrew, I‘m so sorry. I hope you‘re at least some bit better, because I know these tests & lack of diagnosis can be quite stressful. Take care of yourself and keep us posted...we‘re here for you, right @EadieB ? If you just want to vent, we‘re happy to listen. ♥️ 5y
EadieB @gradcat Of course, we are here to help in anyway we can. Went to the doctor's today and got antibiotics. I'm hoping my sinus infections will be better soon! 5y
gradcat @EadieB Those should knock it out—antibiotics, I mean. Sorry it‘s dragging on so long...it seems to be lingering with you. Is it cold up there yet? Do you get more sinus problems when the seasons are changing? I have more migraines when the air pressure drops! Hope those pills get rid of your issues pronto! ♥️ 5y
EadieB @gradcat Not cold yet! Still very warm and rainy! Chilly in the morning but heats up by afternoon. 5y
gradcat Still hot here. I wish the weather would break—it‘s disgusting here by the end of the summer—everything smells bad from all the heat & humidity—ugh! 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat @eadieb Thanks to both of you. 😊 Hope it helps the sinuses Eadie, and quickly, sinus pain is awful. 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Bad sinus headache this morning but trying to ignore it and keep reading! Hope you‘re doing better today! 4y
gradcat @EadieB & @Andrew65 Hope you both are feeling a bit better! ♥️♥️♥️ 4y
EadieB @gradcat Sitting up is helping my sinuses to drain! 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB @gradcat If that isn‘t bad enough, now got a heavy cold and cough. 😡 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Just what you need at this time! Does it ever stop? Any word from the doctor with your blood test? 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB No, not yet. 4y
gradcat Oh, gosh, you two...Andrew, I‘m so sorry you haven‘t had an answer yet, and Eadie, have the antibiotics helped at all? Hang in there! @Andrew65 & @EadieB ♥️ 4y
EadieB @gradcat I think they are helping but I woke up today with the worse sinus headache I've ever had. After drinking my hot tea, it's starting to feel somewhat better. I just need to get through tomorrow's babysitting day then we are going to beach house for a few days. Hope you are feeling better too! (edited) 4y
Andrew65 Ouch! Babysitting with sinus issues, can‘t think of anything worse. Not very evident over weekend as had a bad weekend. 16 hours for the Readathon was way below what I‘d normally achieve! @gradcat @EadieB 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes 16 hours is still good but normally you would have done better but you do have a good reason for your decline in hours. 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB True but as you know I like to succeed! 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 There is no other word than succeed in our vocabulary! 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Very surprised to see I have read over 200 pages more this September than last September. Currently on 7676 pages. A big surprise, and 2 more books than last year. Given everything very pleased with this. 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 That is amazing! 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks 😊 4y
gradcat Ugh...maybe the beach air will help? 4y
EadieB @gradcat Just might help! 4y
gradcat Good! ♥️ 4y
