Ages ago I heard a radiolab segment where some fisher guys freed a whale from netting out in open water and after the whale fucked off he came back and like stuck his head out of the water at each guy, which they took to mean "the whale is thanking us".

I made a gratin tonight and not only did it...take exactly the amount of time the recipe said (????) it also came out a little loose because I forgot I didn't need to compensate for ADVERSE CONDITIONS COOKING CLUB so I still added more liquid than I needed to.

Obvs I am not inside their bodies, maybe they do have a thing that simply be ruled out.
I just feel like if it were true, they wouldn't be complaining about how they "can't [activity] like they used to" or can't think straight after a few hours of work, or never feel rested.

6. They confidently tell me Dr. did not dx, therefore =/= chronic illness
7. They continue to struggle and decline
8. I remind them that I had to go though many Dr.'s to obtain a partial dx
9. Repeat steps 6, 7, 8.
So. That's fun.
