ita, I'm sorry you're so sore today. But surely the glow of accomplishment cushions at least some of the worst of it? Best of luck on averting the rest as best you can. And I did say congratulations, right?
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Best of luck Calli, that sounds like a sucky situation. I have a basic theory about MLM schemes. If the product is really that good, then you don't need to market it that way.

Thanks for the info and support, folks. It really helps to be able to discuss this stuff here.
I hope the soreness passes quickly, ita.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, as long as the body pain doesn't trigger headaches (it's my mission for the day to avoid that), it's a welcome change from before. Which sounds all kind of ill, perhaps, but "at least it's not a migraine" is a big deal for me.

ita! I saw people congratulating you in my skippings, so I looked a bit back. Now I have this urge to call you and shout "khagora khooma!"¹ in celebration. You're amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm taking a sick day today.
YAY. And of course body pain that you chose is better than head pain that just shows up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to go to the dentist this morning, for a cleaning. I wish I didn't.

Oh! I remember when you taught me that phrase and I kept forgetting it. Now I want to shout "khagora khooma, mother fuckers!" but it seems beyond rude to morph something from someone as nice as Nilly into profanity.
But I already called my mother and used a great deal of swearing to convey my feelings on this belt. I'm aggressively relieved.
And grateful for everyone's support--both at the centre and here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.
I like the phrase "khagora khooma."
So, if you ever have to fight a cleaning robot, would you yell, "Khagora khooma, Roomba!"?

A man with a loose shoelace fell down a flight of stairs in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England on Monday and shattered three 17th/18th century Qing dynasty vases. The museum has vowed to glue them back together.
