What kind of event did the Wash. Redskins need makeup for? Most football-type makeup I can think of involves dark bars under the eyes, and the occasional number of a Bible verse.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Ugh, after about 20 minutes in my bedroom this morning Molly decided the clean jeans piled up on the unused side of my bed would work as a makeshift litterbox and peed all over them. Not the ideal way to be greeted first thing.

I had an even uglier thought, given the current situation with the redskins. But for neither of those would they need to bring in a pro.

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

Timelies all!

At Philcon, and this congestion is still kicking my ass. Time for hot tea...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

Does this mean you are okay for at least a week?

It gets me to tomorrow's normal meds in a sane manner. I spent most of Thursday as immobile as I've ever been conscious, pausing only to take another half Ambien each time one wore off, because sleep was the only thing that didn't send my brain sloshing around the molten glass lining my skull. I think that, combined with the steroids, took me off the critical list, but any twitch sent me back again.

But UCLA hasn't seen me for a headache in 6 months or so, and it wasn't the normal ER, so those factors both helped them give me the right amount of meds, even if it was in two batches. They were kind, and they were gentle, and the earplugs issued in defence of the short-of-hearing conversations going on across the curtain were surprisingly effective.

I had a ticket for Thor 2 this morning, but I banged my head leaving the apartment. I have coffee at 1 with a friend of my sister that I've bailed on once so far. So I bailed on Asgard and the money instead, just to be sure. Lying down, hydrating, planning today's photo and today's drawing--through all this I have not dropped the ball on either, although a couple self portraits have been perfunctory web cam jobbies, not the painting with light that's my current goal.

Holy guacamole, you are an amazing woman, ita. I am impressed that you can keep working on your art even with that kind of pain.

Speaking of art, I wrote a bunch today, but then had to quit so I could grade. Taking a big chunk of tomorrow off to see my friend's opera company perform.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad you got some amount of treatment, at least, ita.

I just went out scouting for boxes, figuring I wouldn't find any today, but to think about where to go back to during the week, and after a year and a half of complaining about/being confused by the lack of a liquor store in my neighborhood? I realized what was the liquor store. It has t-shirts in the front window! And liquor behind them.
