ita, I like your brand of schmoop. Not to sound all cliched, but it's very life-affirming.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

I loved ita's schmoop. Thanks for sharing. I especially love it since I know M. (if she's the one who went to my school), and I adore her. What a sweet girl she is. The fact that she can also kick your ass just makes her cooler.
Kat...I'm just sorry. There's just nothing I can do except tell you that I'm sorry and affirm that it does, indeed, suck. Hang in there, chica.
msbelle, I was afraid of that. In my experience with Lyme, though, you've caught it soon enough that those exacerbations should calm down and go away. Please let me know if there's anything I can do or if you're having difficulty finding pertinent info.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is indeed the very M, Kristin. I was never as cheerful as she is now, but she pulls it off in a way that makes me not want to kill her. In fact, she makes you want to drink so you can try and laugh with as much abandon.
I needed yesterday so very much, for so many reasons. I got trigger point injections so I can turn my head without pain, I got a prescription for rescue painkillers I can actually feel working, I got put on anti-depressants--basically I saw a doctor who didn't treat me with skepticism.
I trained a little--hit focus pads for the first time in a couple months, talked a lot of shit, taught the above-mentioned class, and then had a gimlet (vodka, straight up--Rose's, but still okay) with my sashimi.
It was kinda very okay.
Sure, work got weird and my brain is bashing itself against my skull walls right now, and the problems I had on Sunday still exist as much as they ever did, and my friends are nowhere near happy enough--but I'm working on imprinting the moments of laughter or even sanity as deeply as possible so I can remember them in the inbetween times.
Paperdol! CFerg is definitely doing Comicon, so I hope you guys bump into each other. Buy him a drink (or seven) and give him a hug for me. I'll happily reimburse you in any kind you wish.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We are a sick and desperate crowd. I like that about us.

Right? And it's not like I'm even going to post anything tonight. (I decided against ::hugs lj tight::)

While LJ was down, I watched the pilot of Saving Grace. Holy cow, this is an awesome show, and Holly Hunter is hot and terrible like a thousand burning suns.
I think I'm going to love this.

FLAIL! I'd come in to say that I'd just finished Harry Potter and to lament that I couldn't flail and my lovely lovely buffistas let me know that it was back.
