Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was taking Omega 3 for a non babymaking reason, but I never burped fishy. I don't know if it was a me thing, or a brand thing.

Me too, on all counts. Though not all Omega 3s are fish oil; there's also flax and some other kind. (I get mine at Trader Joe's, and the label says something like EFA [essential fatty acids, I assume]).

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

YAY Jesse!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh -- I get to nine pills (fiber, minerals, vitamins, EFA, one prescription) daily if I count 'em up. And that doesn't include divers painkillers and Sudafed taken frequently in an average day....

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

Mine were the fishy sort too. Guess I (and the people around me) got lucky. I stopped taking them when I ran out. I'm lazy like that. I make sure I'm up on multivitamins, glucosamine, and my regular migraine meds.

eta: I'm at 14 pills if I don't have to take anything for pain

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm going to a senior recital tomorrow for a girl who sings in the symphony chorus with me. She's a harpist, and she's going off to college in Toronto. I'd sort of like to get her a little gift, and I'm trying to remember what was useful when I went off to college.

Suggestions?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Jesse!!!!!

So now there's the big yellow plastic bullet,

I take these, too. For non-baby-making reasons.

Goodness, I take (counts on fingers) 19 pills per day. Yikes. Most of those are vitamins, but still.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Beer. I found that very useful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Suggestions?

Toaster oven. (way better than a microwave- toasted cheese and bagels) Small electric kettle for heating water.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dana, something like this, with maybe a couple of cups of instant noodles or soup or oatmeal or just some cocoa or instant coffee.
