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

I have a regular doctor's appointment in 45 minutes. Couldn't get opthalmologist, and sticking within the UCLA network seems better than finding urgent care wherever. Ironically, a bit, I know where urgent care is near work, but I'm alternating between being headachey because one eye is teared up, or because it's covered up.

deviantArt is strict about IP, so I wasn't able to order what I wanted. In retaliation (that'll larn 'em), I've set up a redbubble account. They have the worst chat support to date, but a very wide range of print options. I've put up a few bits of fanart and some of my unending beach shots.

Why can't we have sugar ads like this one?

After hanging out nearby for nearly 6 hours, the guy ran out of time to vet the car. He was VERY apologetic, and I could have simply walked home (it's a mile), but on the other hand, it's not like this is a hurry-up job.

Back on Tuesday....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

If cloud cover or city light discourages you from looking for meteors tonight, try this: [link]

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

Neat. The part where I have to be awake at 2 am might keep me from seeing meteors. Then again it might not, life is full of surprises.

Touch up paint, duh. Thank you. I even have a coupon for a free whatever of it from Mazda somewhere. Not going to get done in the next week, unfortunately.

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

Timelies all!

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

So I made it to a GP and an opthalmologist and I have an infected tear duct diagnosis, and two anti-biotics to pick up from the pharmacy. Except I'm so lame I left the rest of my dinner at the restaurant (or maybe in the UberX) and I'm just generally BLAH.

Still, one thing to get done.

I wish I were closer, ita, cause I'd go get the medications for you. Except, my own meds are at CVS as are a couple of Grace's meds. So I'm unreliable like that.

N&G's school had a pool party at an aquatic center. I was required to attend to chaperone him because he was under 8. There were approximately 225 kids there, which was half the school. The center had not only a zero entry design, but there was also a ton of sand. I'm just wiped out now.
