What's with today today?
That is an excellent question. It's been quite the Monday of a Tuesday.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Agreed with the bread knife plus chilling technique.
So, "bread knife" = big old long serrated knife? (Or should I not be cutting bread with that thing?)

I imagine fishing line might work well, too.
You know what I'm gonna do tonight? Bleed the radiators!
Just gotta wait for them to be at peak heat.
Exciting, no?

"bread knife" = big old long serrated knife?
Yes. Use a serrated blade so you don't have to use force (look at me, quoting Cake while talking about cake!)

Yeah, I'd put the bottom layer upside down and the top layer right side up so the middles are both flat. But if you're doing more than two layers, bread knife.
The funniest thing just happened to me: I said something about being a man-hater on Facebook to someone I haven't seen since 8th grade, and he messaged me all embarrassed asking if I'm gay.
Hah! Aww
Also, go Dillo!!
I got to hang out with my cousins tonight because I was done early and my flight isn't until 9pm. Makes getting to my destination at midnight slightly more palatable.

Report: a surprise that the bathroom radiator had the most air. Main bedroom still a PITA involving contortions. Skipped main by door because cat asleep, it rarely has air, have to move enclosure, will do it next time I clean so I can clean it and hopefully find that missing glove. Water an acceptable grey.

For two layers, I'm of the "bottom layer right side up, top layer upside down" school. If both have excessive domes, you can hack off some of it with a serrated life, and your sins will be concealed by the frosting in the middle. Another trick is to frost the outside with a thin coat of frosting and let it set up before putting on the final quote.

My idiot cat is now running around the apartment with a little foil koosh ball in her mouth, growling. The one with a working brain is just joining me in staring at her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an 11:30 interview and a massive headache. It's all worse since the methadone. Everything is worse. My head hurts, I'm twitchy. I called my doctor repeatedly to see if I could get some relief, but...no.
I can't afford another ER visit. But I need to be coherent and not cutting slices in my arm to distract from the headache. The only assurance I've gotten is that they won't get a nurse to me tomorrow before the interview (which would be a mess anyway). I don't know what to do except cry and stick lidocaine patches on my face.....
