Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Because books.

Just the one foot?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was going to ask the same thing!

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

I miss humid. That was nice.

The hospital has had the same menu every time I've been here. Nothing is ever tempting. But right now it's so massively appalling I'm on my umpteenth fruit plate. FRUIT PLATE.

Everyone's all "your blood sugar's really great". No shit, Holmes.

FRUIT PLATE.

I think I need to carry around a "low glycemic" fun kit just like I usually (but not now because I swapped bags and am an idiot) carry around an "unsweetened drink" fun kit--with my favourite teas and citrus powders. But if I had my cookies and blueberries and coconut palm sugar, at least there'd be more appearance of variety (I had the first two, but finished both a while back). Melted cheese on demand would be amazing magic too.

FRUITE PLATEE.

Yeah, the bird thing is an additional confusion.

Melted cheese on demand would be amazing magic too.

Is there an orderly you can bribe to get you a grilled cheese from the cafeteria?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The last time my grandmother was in the hospital for her heart, my mother told them about her throat thing, so she only got ground meals. And no salt. That was fun for her.

Just one foot. It's tucked into the crook of my knee to warm it up. My body is weird. I'm pretty sure I bruised the balls of both my feet the last couple of nights in the pool. Doing the same thing I do every day. I don't even know.

The baby robin was fun to hold. But pigeons are much more substantial and muscular. t /literal

Since the room service seems totally okay with delivering cold toast I am not going to ask them to violate a grilled cheese on my behalf. I don't want that on my conscience or my tongue.

Their fruit plates aren't as bad as you'd expect, but it's ridiculously hard to get a constant supply of tea. Like, once they brought two tea bags instead of one. If I didn't have my travel mug it'd be a pain on the tech staff too as I bothered them for hot water.
