I don't understand why people ate shoe leather? I think people have more nutritional value.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My deepest sympathies on your loss, Nilly.

Stories about the Donner Party talk about them eating the buffalo hide blankets they had.

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

In general, I think people generally have fewer qualms about eating their shoes.

People are absolutely more nutrient dense but they also have names.

I'm not saying you should kill the people to eat them, it just seems like once you have eaten the dogs and the horses, the dead people seem like a good choice. I would want my loved ones to eat me rather than die.

Wrod. Looking at the person sitting next to you and saying "You look tasty" is different from looking at a new grave and thinking "If I don't, I'm just going to be joining you."

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

I can't fathom a recently dead corpse being less appetising than shoes of any age. And I think I'm probably more fussy about "fresh" meat by virtue of living in the 21st century, as well as being a migraineuse. I'd always imagine I'd go for the person sooner. Or maybe my Docs are more preserved than their shoes too?

*I* think we should kill people and eat them. Not right now, clearly. Maybe later, when we need to. But I don't know enough to determine what's good eating. Finally, BMI might be useful. What kind of exercise is the wrong exercise? Do I want long muscle fibres or short? What body part(s) should I be focussing on?

They've given me the right amount of dilaudid in the way that works, and too little benadryl for the headache and not in the way that works, but my fingers crossed that it a) works for the itching and b) is enough with the dilaudid to address the issue. People are being very nice.

My neuro, who's been entirely absent today save the "sleep tight!" email has ordered me an ergotamine shot tomorrow. As things go, I sleep for an hour after that, because it makes me feel really horrible (changing and doubling the anti-emetic was a start, but not sufficient). But then I get the dilaudid and benadryl, and it knocks it out. If I have it alone, I have no idea when the nausea and dizziness AND MILD HEADACHE will end. And, hey, thought it might be nice if I went to the office sometime soon again.

Isn't "streaky" bacon supposed to be awesome? Wherein the "streaks" are fat?

I might be very tasty. Damn.

I know. I might have finally found a weight loss motivator. "Hmm, ita looks hungry, might be time to become too lean and stringy."

And my blood sugar runs too high. I might be especially sweet. Oops.
