I hate driving long distances and will put up with the crap and expense of flying if I don't have to drive.
Dude, this. My perfect road-trip length is "how close is the nearest airport".
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do it do it!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Done! Money spent.
Now I'm nervous. I hate flying. Not the flying part. The getting to the airport on time, will the cab be late again, did I forget something important, usual anxiety crap. Also, now? That caffeine I just slammed wasn't a good idea.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd fly, given that distance. You can't do AirTran from where you are? That might be a cheaper alternative.

AirTran is what I did. Cheapest I could find, at this late hour. Spontaneity has its price. (About $1100, in fact.)

Fly.
If you have your phone and prescription medicine, you can buy everything else here. When I start worrying whether if I have everything, I use the mantra, "You're not going to darkest Africa. You can buy underwear where you're going."

Ha! Ginger, I do the same thing. "They probably have drugstores there and everything!" Are you going to the con?
Those photos of Elle and Jodie give me hope. A little exercise, a little diet, just because I'm over 40 doesn't mean I can't get my old body back. Well. At least something shaped more like my old body. I'd have to clone and replace some internal organs to have everything back the way it was. Okay, how did I get from "gorgeous women" to "morbid introversion" that fast?

Aw, my exBF just called. I'd called to let him know I was going, and he called me back to offer to drive me to the airport! He knows how anxious I get. What a sweetie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yesyesyesyesyesyes. Um, yes. As long as it's still PF, yes, the full RICE complement is required.
Unfortunately I won't be able to rest it much. The only exercise I get, the only thing that could be responsible for this (since it doesn't seem like an inciting-incident sort of a thing) is the walking to and from my car for work. And that's of a pretty fixed distance and number of repetitions.
Ah, well.

I don't look at those women and think about getting my old body back. My old body never looked like that.
I don't think I'm getting to the con, Zenkitty, but I'd be happy to meet people for food or drink.
