No, but when I woke up there was still the smell of burnt toast in the air. i had to open a window.

Also I discovered at 9pm last night that I had not quite turned my iron off yesterday morning (it was on "1"), nor did I unplug it. I found it tipped over on my bed, with a slight scorch mark on my table top ironing board. I'm very lucky there wasn't a fire. Yikes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Sue, you might want to look into a new iron with auto-off. No burning down the house!!

Morning, y'all. I have a shitload of work to get done in the next few days. I can't decide if I should start with the little things, to be able to check things off the list, or save them for rewards for when I'm sick of the big things.

Do them first, Jesse. Then they are done. Reward yourself with stuff not on your list for your big things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just fainted. That was interesting. For all values of interesting that include "not very fun." There's nothing like losing consciousness (sober without getting hit) that makes you distrust your physiology.

Oh great, now I'm ear-wormed with the Talking Heads' song "Burning Down the House". Thanks Jesse.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Whoa, ita. Are you ok? I hope you didn't hit anything on the way down.

Oh wow, ita! You mean like just *poof* you were out? Maybe you should see someone soon, 'cause that's just not right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I caught myself halfway down (which was good, since I was falling by the edge of the bed), but wasn't aware of the second half of the fall.

My neck hurts, but my head feels clear, which definitely didn't happen last time I fainted, lo these 10 years ago.

Meep. That's scary, ita. Does this mean no going to work?

I'm gonna keep going like I was going to work, and see how it feels just before I get into the car. I don't think I'm more at risk of passing out again, or anything, but I want to be sure my head's clear before I control the ton of metal called Jetta.
