Whatever I took wasn't enough. I've been tossing and turning all night, and used up all the pain meds to boot. I am so screwed, in multiple unappealling ways.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I wish I didn't always go all insomniac the night before a trip. And tonight I'm supposed to be all "rah rah [employer]" behind a booth until after 8. Oh well. I get a plane ride out of it.

What's a good place to get biker shorts? I don't need them for serious biking, just to wear under skirts so my thighs don't chafe in the summer.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita, sorry you had a bad night. You too, Calli.
Jessica, Target has a few choices for about $10 - search for Marika.

I have several pair of biker-like sorts from Target that have held up quite well. They don't have the padded butt that some biker shorts have, but that doesn't sound like what you're looking for. I found them over by the underwear and sweats.

Hee Inevitable Target crosspost.
Thanks, Smonster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of clothes, I'm wearing the same outfit I wore last Wednesday, because I'm ushering again tonight and I can't be bothered to change, but otherwise, I have several more things to wear to work before I repeat anything. This is my 4th week here. I think I probably have enough clothes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, ita. I hope the rest of the week goes better.

Punishingly Intricate
I keep meaning to take my measurements so I can see if any of the modcloth dresses would fit me. I doubt it but I can't stop looking at them! My wardrobe right now is just depressing.

There's some kind of celebration going on at the other end of the office, and they've been playing loud disco music all morning. It's actually a nice change from having to listen to daytime TV!
