I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Great Goddess, I'm tired of the Christmas shopping spam in my email.

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

My new jeans are kinda loose. I have to assume it's the stretch they get when they're not just out of the drier, because if I lost more weight, that's not good.

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

Load of laundry dry and warm!

I'm not going to wash more tonight, though. I'm tired and there's some sorting that would have to be done. Just knowing I can is going to have to do.

It is 6:45pm, and the postal truck has JUST gone down one side of our block. I am not impressed with our new postal guy.

ETA: at least he didn't mis-deliver anything that I know of this time, unlike twice last week?

Tim is having a gum graft procedure Friday, and although the dentist told him that there should be no pain, other than feeling like a pizza burn on the roof of the mouth (that's where the graft is taken from),

I am squirming just reading this.

Wow. I'm staying at a hotel that's pretty new (just opened a couple weeks ago, wasn't in my rental car's GPS!) and they gave me a huge suite (2 bedroom 2 bathroom plus a living room with a dining nook!) with a ginormous tv. Holy crap, wish I'd be here more than the next 10 hours. Oh well.

Yeah, all the times I've scored free super-bonus/upgrade/premium (I'm a budget traveler) I'm pretty much at the point I wouldn't care where I was. But the sketch for the longest time, sure....

I seem to have escaped flu-vacc side effects save for a sore injection spot.

We stayed in a family suite for a convention once, and we never used more than the bedroom, bathroom, and entryway. I made a point of opening every door and stepping into every room so the poor thing didn't feel useless.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This mandatory eLearning course consists of a dull-voiced man reading to me the words that appear on the screen. I may explode.

Zenkitty, that is almost ALL of the PD I attend at work. It's thrilling.

My nose is SUPER runny (which is no good).

One of my students asked me to read her personal statement. Roughly half of it was about how her AP English Lit teacher (AKA me) is so mean and hates her and yet she has soldiered through and learned from it how to be more independent. It was such a passive-aggressive gambit, like RL trollbaiting, almost. But I corrected it and handed it back. Then today, I realized the really troubling part was paragraph 2 where she talks about how she craves attention, how she befriends teachers so she can get All the Help even when she understands. But I feel like I can't be the one to point out how this might be a bad tack to take with admissions people. Also, I feel like it's self-aware and honest. So I dropped it in someone else's lap.
