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

ita put on her big girl project manager knickers today. Sheesh. I have to say, again, I'm continually impressed with how good people here are at their jobs, and how nice they are. Things went smoothly, even with the airing of risks and issues at the last minute. Everyone's very polite about panic and blame.

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

I now have the awesome vision of a compost TARDIS. The shape of a phone booth but it does the spinning for you. And given the time travel thing, no need to wait for things to decompose. I could make pasquillions, I tell you!, if only it weren't for these pesky space-time limitations.

I'm so glad your coworkers are nice, ita!

I was actually going to compare it to a TARDIS when describing its shape!

It's just sort of funny that I am currently doing my vertigo exercises three times a day and now applying a cold compress four times a day.

How are those exercises working, megan?? It claimed most people felt better within 10 days and it's been ten days! That really sucks about the conjunctivitis though.

I'm also impressed by a nice polite good-at-their-jobs workplace. I have been suckered in to ONE MORE trip next week (bringing total trips beyond originally planned to THREE--Utah this week, and Spokane and Wenatchee next week). I did manage to make someone else go back to Oakland though (not that I don't love y'all, but...just couldn't do it)

Kinda whomped. Ran by the nearby hardware store after work, they didn't have the stripper in the size I wanted, went to the pool, came home and shot and fed cat, back out to the store I know has it, hour later am home, shovel frozen indian microwave dinner into my mouth, head over to take care of the other cat; her boyfriend sneaks in (he belongs to another neighbor) and they wrastle (she was very happy to see him, all trilly) then he realizes I am not K, and spooks, so then it is find the cat in someone else's house and herd him to the door, play with SP. Come home, fall over.

Well, I've definitely felt better this last week or so, although I can still tell it's mildly there. Having to wear my glasses certainly isn't helping any.

More important, I think, was that I determined what side was causing the vertigo, so I set up my pillows so that I am forced to sleep on the other side. So, no spinning when I wake up for the last week or so.

What I'm wondering is if I can go back to sleeping normally because it has been really hard to adjust to the other side and I don't think I'm sleeping as well. Of course, for the moment I won't change because sleeping in one position will actually help me not to spread the virus to the other eye.

This kind of took me aback given today's conversation.

What are the exercises, megan? No one ever gave me exercises!!
