Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Botox?

That's my guess. I'm sorry, ita ! That must be disturbing.

In dinner news, Hubby made a grilled chicken/monterey jack/apple salad that's quite good. I wasn't sure about the apple and the chicken, but these apples are tart and sweet and crunchy and quite yummy in it.

My roommate in Baltimore made a chicken stew with prunes. I was skeptical, but it was yum. Who knew. Besides her.

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

Yup--that part of the Botox kicked in in the past three hours. I was wiggling them at the doctor's office earlier.

Unfortunately my head still hurts like a mofo, but I'm harbouring a hope that if I dilaudid break this Sunday morning, then it won't be able to come back, because the muscles can't recramp. I'm faintly (don't taunt the gods) hoping to not go to the ER next week.

I harbor the same hope for you. No taunting of gods. Just crossed fingers and toes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending get well vibes to msbelle and for the botox to do its magic for ita.

I screwed up this afternoon and was so frustrated and flustered by the kids' bad behavior that I didn't get any grading done. And now my head is toast so I can't grade tonight. feh. I guess go to be and hope to wake up before 6 and get started on grading early tomorrow.

I hate the grading.

The status is NOT quo.

I have to grade tomorrow too, Burrell. Virtual grading buddies?
