I am awake and waiting for the coffee to brew. Awake is way overrated. Every time I hear my husband snore I weep with envy.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi, ita. My migraine waves at your migraine.
Also? I hate airplanes. A lot. Airplanes should be eradicated and then we would take long cushy luxurious train trips.

That trans-Pacific track to Hawaii would be a bitch to lay, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That would be some migraine-inducing travel, right there.

Oh God. My first visit to Disneyworld back in '88 I waited in line in the hot Florida sun two hours for that ride, which turned out to be the nearest facsimile of Hell I've ever experienced outside a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, you are brilliant! I was able to get my voicemail at home to text message my cell phone when I have a message.
Woo hoo! Yay technology.
I had an excellent airplane experience on Wednesday. I love flying the shuttle during actual business hours -- on a half-hour flight, they actually gave us lunch!!

Through some miracle of Internet-ma, my very late-booked reservations from Atlanta-Oakland through Phoenix wound up being first class for the first leg. My husband kept expecting the gendarmes to come march past the curtain and drag us back to the peasants, but instead we had adequate legroom and real frozen waffles.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just experienced a long cushy luxurious train trip. I got on the train at 8:30 this morning, arrived at Union Station at 9:11 this evening and got off the bus and into my apartment around 11pm.
