I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't think I've ever isolated a body part in my life! At least, not on my trunk. I mean, I can move just one arm with no problem.

I remember trying to work out once, doing this thing where you kneel on all fours and then kick one leg out behind you. Someone was trying to help, saying something like, "No you should be moving this other muscle." And I was all, "Look, either the leg kicks or it doesn't."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I was all, "Look, either the leg kicks or it doesn't."

I feel like doing yoga has helped my body awareness a TON (and I should really go back, even though it's hoooootttttttt), but there are still many times when they are like, "you should feel this in X spot," and I'm like, Nope! But my parts seem to be in the right places, so I let it go.

That was awesome.

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

I get disproportionately annoyed when people ask me for things I've already sent them. Text messages and phone calls looking for documents that I sent out half an hour to hours ago...is the assumption that I'm slow? Why not check and see if you have it already? Is there really no harm done by making that mistake? Repeatedly?

It is so fucking cold in the building I can't think. I'm going to my car to grab a sweatshirt before the 12:30 meeting, dress code be damned.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Jesse, my niece taught us some belly dance when I was on va action, and me being bad at it did not make it less fun.

Note for headache log: Someone dropped some pork and beans on my desk and I had, like, 1/3 of a helping because it was way too sweet, and one small piece of white bread and my head hurts worse an hour later.

Where the fuck are my blueberries?

Refined white sugar and flour?

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

I'm thinking nitrates or refined sugars are likely culprits. The idea that I can actually tie a headache to any stimuli, though, isn't something that's come up recently. I avoid continued exposure to my known triggers (which include the nitrates) and everything is the same muted roar. If I managed to lower the background noise enough to start picking that up again with even smaller portions, then yay lower background noise!

Whatever the fucking reason I'm going to go have a lie down in my car. I feel sick.
