You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Kalshane is near Wisconsin.

The last two days at work I've been favoring my left shoulder since it seems to hurt any time my elbow leaves my side. Now the muscles in my right shoulder are sore. woo-hoo.

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

My definition of millionaire, I realise, wasn't >=$1M in assets, but that they grossed at least a mil a year. The relatives that I have that are millionaires (by my terms) are small business owners + doctors with their own practice.

What are simple wages? Does that mean no investments or lottery wins?

Uh...no need to answer right away. I have to go pop some pills and burrow under covers. I have no clear plan for surviving tomorrow, except the knowledge that if I don't make it through the day, I don't get to the nerve block.

And I refuse to take a sick day. I just can't.

I think that was bugging me too. I haven't the slightest idea what "simple wages" are supposed to include or exclude.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

Kalshane is near Wisconsin.

Oh dear.

aurelia, ow. Want a Percocet? I haven't needed one for a couple of days, touch wood.

ita, I hope you have had a restful night's sleep before reading this. Best thoughts for getting through and getting what you need today.

I'm going to try that sleep thing myself.

I have drugs too. Soon they will work, and there will be tomorrow.

I'm watching the Terry Gilliam episode of the Python retrospective. So far it's been forty minutes of non stop animation.

He was smoking the bad crack. Or possibly the good crack. Or both.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Where Python is concerned, methinks it was the wise crack.

Heh. I don't have anything stronger than Advil. The right shoulder is just muscle soreness that will go away. I would very much like to trade in the left shoulder though.

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

I went to sleep a short while after I got home, and just woke up a litle while ago.

This seemed like a much idea at 7:30 than it does right now.

I was up from 2-5. I knew at the time it was not a good idea, but there didn't seem to be much to be done about it. I read Georgette Heyer in the kitchen and ate crackers.
