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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.....

Jeaus, ita, I wish I had something helpful to suggest. All I can offer is wishes for better. I'm sorry.

Matt, it's always one. And I still giggle that you gots cats now. They so eased you into it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Why did I think Tim DeKay was gay? I swear I have been told that he was gay AND Matt Bomer's partner. I swear I've seen pics. Was this some weird dream?

I think I have to go. Not now--deep in the middle of the night. I just have to focus on not self-harming, and I fucking better get one of these jobs soon.

I suppose if I were eating this would be a bigger dent in my budget.

Still can't afford it, tho. But I can't interview in this state.

I hope they can provide some relief, ita.

'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"

Oh, ita. Strength and relief-ma to you.

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

Fuck, ita, I'm so sorry.

I hate that "I can't afford to go to the ER" is a rational statement.
