Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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

Fine, Erin. This one time, you get a pass.

It's weird--I do intermittently wake up and can't move. Which isn't something I think about much, probably because it's really freaky. I feel all sucked into the bed.

But it's never happened with the heart thumping before, yet, just no fear. Except when I started wondering why my heart was thumping so hard.

ita, maybe you were dreaming of training, and all that adrenaline got dumped into your system.

I have a friend who trained real hard all the time, was always at the top of his game. He twitched like a crack ho without her fix when he slept. I found it very charming.

Now that I'm training a lot, I've noticed I do it too, when I'm half awake. More often than not, I'm kravving in the dream.

have you ever been checked for mitral valve prolapse?

No. Am I going to google and freak my shit out?

No. It's fairly benign, but sudden heart palpitations are one of the symptoms.

Interesting. I googled it, and it was one of those "Well, who knows?" reactions. I mean, some of those do apply to me, and others (low exercise tolerance) certainly don't.

I do get sudden heart palpitations (usually when awake) from time to time, but I figured that everyone did.

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

ita, did you have a bunch of caffeine before going to bed?

Sushi and sake, baby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't say I've ever had random sudden heart palpitations, so therefore I don't think it's normal. Take that for what it's worth.

I had a great afternoon! Went to school and worked on my paper some, until I realized that really all I need to do on my thesis is the executive summary and the conclusion. Rock. Got some paperwork taken care of for the identity fraud stuff and made copies at school. Sat in the park reading for a while, and then went and bought two pairs of shoes! I think I might finally have black pumps that actually fit.

Now I'm home. Phew.
