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

did you get your car up and running?

No, not yet. I don't have the energy to deal with more than re-upping the AAA today.

Sorry that your mother didn't get what she wanted--but at least it worked out for you.

Does the car just need a jump, ita? Like it's a battery ish? And when do you need the car? In this week's fun, I was planning on doing lemon bars from our tree and bringing them to you so if you don't need your car today or tomorrow, I might be able to help.

msbelle, I'm glad you're back home and recovering.

The electrics work--the engine just makes a clicky noise when I try and start it up. So I think it needs professional help.

DAMN, I'm cold. Two blankets, fleece jammy pants, long sleeves. So now I'm trying a heating pad.

Make a hot water bottle. Got a nalgene or similar water bottle? Fill it with boiling (or at least hot) water, screw lid on tightly, and snuggle. That's a trick we use at snow camp.

t eta Also, sounds like your car's starter went out. It's better to leave that for professional help - kinda PITA to get at and replace.

ita, do you have a fever? I hope you feel better soon, whatever the cause.

I'm just sleepy, so tired that I can't stop yawning, and my eyes are constantly tearing up, which is what they do when I get this tired. I probably should get some Diet Coke to wake me up, but I'm trying to cut back on how much soda I drink. (I've already had a 20-oz bottle and a 32-oz cup of it before lunch was finished).

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?

Night, msbelle! I'm glad you're doing okay. Rest and relax and heal.
