Yeah, for all three I think you start to get pretty massive. The corkscrew and the phillips head each takes up more space than most blades.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

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

I wish that I'd discovered this a month ago: Cryomax Coldpack (from Target). Advertised to last 8 hours. I'd be happy with any non-leaky coldpack that lasted more than twenty minutes. Now I'm on hour two without having had to put it back in the freezer. And that's been my issue with icing my ankle: nothing lasts long enough, have to wait for it to rechill, forget from the waiting, or don't bother cuz it doesn't last long enough.
Bring on the frostbite, baybee!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Last time I checked, botulism toxin was still a toxin. In controlled amounts under medical supervision it can have positive uses (though I don't think paralyzed facial muscles and frozen expressions are a positive use for actresses), just like chemotherapy chemicals, but that doesn't make it not poison.
Last I checked, the same can be said of every other medication, and most food. Toxicity is measured by dosage and application, not chemical components.

Oh, hey, I did find coffee! An ancient can of decaf in my freezer. Kind of sad, but I am having a cup. I don't even know why. I went and got my annual gingerbread latte this morning, so I shouldn't be that desperate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would vote Leatherman, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Maybe not mixing fancy drinks, but opening wine, pouring beer and champagne properly, mixing liquor+chaser-
Pouring a proper gin and tonic was most definitely part of our upbringing.

I like the Leatherman(s), because if you have pliers, you find that you have about a hundred uses for them that you never knew you needed. They make a whole bunch of "gripping" or "getting into a tight spot" situations, much much easier.
I've somehow ended up with one Swiss Army knife, one full-size Leatherman, and two mini-"Leatherman" alternate devices (one made by Brookstone, with a dear little detachable LED flashlight). The Brookstone I carry in my purse and amazes everyone when you take it out to deal with a Situation.

I should start packing, shouldn't I?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I should start packing, shouldn't I?
Is there some threat in your neighbourhood you're not telling us about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you have a flight in less than 3 hours? If no, I say you're fine.
I need to keep packing my stupid apartment. I've been up for three hours and haven't done anything!
Also, I guess it's time to bring out the puffy coat -- we will not get up to freezing today. Brrr!
