It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've never told my husband I am jealous when he gets to take a justified Vicodin. EVER.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

HMOG I'm tired. Got to our setup space at 9:15. Stuff didn't start arriving until after 11. What should have taken maybe two hours for me took...7, I guess, and I still need to do stuff in the morning.

I have dinner plans, too, but my back hurts and my head hurts and it will be hard to make myself move. Worth it, but hard.

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

I've yet to find a pain med that works on anything but cramps that doesn't also fuck my head up. The search continues.

you're not screaming and rolling on the floor, so how painful can it be?

Welcome to my ER battle. If I cry, I'm a junkie drug-seeking. If I don't cry, it's not that bad. Fuck you, I've had this headache since Tuesday. I've had to slog through my normal life since then. I've been sitting in a darkened room trying to stay awake by reading on and off, and your nurse just left the light on, and I don't have it in me to get up and turn the light off. Fuck you. Now I really want to cry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woman Drove Around With Corpse For Close to a Year

Here's a local news station asking the police chief of Costa Mesa, California how the car owner dealt with "the overwhelming stench." (Answer: Her father regularly pooped in the car, so she was "immune to the smell.")

Huh. And another huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As long as we're talking about painkillers, let me request that you make a point of not ignoring other pain because you are on painkillers for something else. I.e., my aunt ended up with crazy internal problems at least partly because she ignored the pain for so long, at least partially thanks to the percoset she takes for other issues.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The codeine-related drugs don't make me feel floaty; they make me feel fine. The niggling worries and pain go away, and I realize how infrequently I feel fine. I hoard my leftovers for the truly horrible days and for days I hurt myself.

If you need to double up on something, TB, you can take four ibuprofen, which is the prescription dose.

I don't know who Saget is, but I wish RIO would check in.
