this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Not sure how this made it through proofreading, peer review, and copyediting.

I had to click to be sure it wasn't one of my journals. Whew!

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

Hey, guys.

I caught up but didn't meara. Solace and support to those who need it and congratulations to those that deserve it. Which is everyone.

Ended up in the ER last night ($$$ I don't have) because of withdrawal symptoms. Apparently coming off narcotics gives you a hyperadrenal reaction, and I thought I couldn't breathe and my heart was going to leap out of my chest t /Supernatural

I swear, everything hurts. But I just got submitted for a job that's in my wheelhouse, so good. In Torrance, so bad.

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

Good luck with the job prospect! Sadly, from what I have been told "everything hurts" is par for the course for narcotics withdrawal. For a while.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Better safe than sorry, ita! You've got enough medical issues going on that chest pains and shortness of breath could be for reals (not that they weren't, just that they had an identifiable and transitory cause this time).

Evidently once I get my Uber phone, I'm OK to turn it on and start taking passengers. It really does seem kind of sketchy to me, but hell, I can use the flexibility to earn some money.

Hope that works out, Theo.

Thanks for the salad validation, y'all. I happen to have all those ingredients but I just could not imagine the flavor combination. Nice to be able to outsource that sort of thing.

Ah-ha!!!! I've been reconciling a new contract with the pricing workbooks and have been off $1k for the last 3 hours. I've cross checked and recalced and recross checked. And I just found it in a place I SWORE I reviewed multiple times.

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

Timelies all!

There are many times I'm glad I don't have to deal with the public at work.(Along the same lines, I try to stay out of the malls around the holidays. Amazon wish lists are a godsend.)

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

My Uber driver last night was called Jahlov. Which I teased him about, since he's American with Belizean parents. I had to find a 24 hour pharmacy (why doesn't CVS think putting 24 hours and pharmacy next to each other has an implication?). Anyway, we had to make stops, and he turned off his meter and waited with me both times. Jah love, indeed.

Hey, Theo--can you look up riders and see how many meowmeowbeenz we have? Or can we do that ourselves?

Sadly, from what I have been told "everything hurts" is par for the course for narcotics

Shame it hurt during as well as after, huh?

I can't decide which I'd prefer working in showbiz--costuming (too many skills to acquire--can you just be the one that does the drawing?) or casting. Casting would be fabulous.

That does seem radically unfair, yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, ita. But good luck with the job!

I would also like -t's salad.

These both made me laugh:
