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

I've also posted about OLD I am and all those computer feels I had from twenty five years ago...nary a reblog.

It's okay, Tumblr, I love you anyway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, we are tucked in for the night. Phoenix lost really miserably in a nice end to a miserable day. SO is booted, but refuses to take his pain meds, because he's not in that much pain. His pain tolerance is annoyingly high, so I have no way of knowing if he really isn't in that much pain or is just stoic-ing it out. He also dislikes the way narcotics mess with his head, so I respect that, but he doesn't like any meds on general principles for liver health. I say, why not use what you have available to you to avoid making yourself miserable. But I can't force drugs down his throat. I did manage to convince him to take the high dose ibuprofen on the premise that anti-inflammatory properties were important. And he did ice some and elevate some, and I lectured him about doing what the ortho tells him.

He's worried about messing up the summer schedule and he's worried about the money.

I'm just tired. I'm out of...not spoons. What cutlery is it when it's people adjacent to you, not you yourself? I'm out of forks.

Anyway, I'm going to watch Mad Men, which I have still not gotten to, and I'm going to check on him, and I'm going to ignore the dishes and sleep.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda is just the opposite! She whines over every little twinge and then we don't take serious complaints seriously half the time. Even though she currently has a fever of 103.2. (Which we can use a thermometer to get an objective measure, so that eliminates the potential for bad parental disbelief.)

It's so strange, I am getting DNS errors for everywhere else on the internet but here. It's like the rest of the internet was Raptured.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You didn't hear?? ...oh right, you wouldn't have been able to.

Our wings are not tired.

Well if only one website works...

I apparently have zero pain tolerance, and also hate taking pain meds. I hope you both got good rest, Liese.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have no idea what my pain tolerance is. I am often in pain, but I rarely miss work. So either my pain tolerance is really low and I don't actually have much wrong with me, or it is really high, and I should be doing something about it.

I just saw, I think on -t's facebook, a link to a pic of Daniel Radcliffe with "You don't have to be gay to be a supporter" quoted on it. And someone commented on the original picture "Is he gay?". Which, a) how does it matter but b) do you have any reading comprehension?

Also, there is something about that quote that reminds me of 'I'm not an athlete. I'm an athletic supporter!'

Orin Hatch once said on Wait Wait Don't Tell me, "I'm the biggest athletic supporter in the state of Utah!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

isn't it a classic line in "Grease?"

Because books.

"If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter!"
