Checked in for flight to Quito tomorrow! Now to figure out what I need to do today.

Have a great trip, Pix! I still have very fond memories of my trip to Ireland.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ireland. One day.
I am in grump and pain. My neck pain is radiating all the way to my hands and now into my face. When the left is bad enough to cry, I don't usually notice the right. Not this time. I could barely sleep because no position doesn't hurt, and/so my head hurts really badly despite just having had meds this weekend.
I can't tolerate the neck pain like the migraine pain, because it's not like I can lie down somewhere quiet or anything--that makes it worse. So I've just been dripping tears since I got up at 5 and trying to convince myself taking all my pain pills is not the solution, not is jamming a knife into my thigh.
But you can't imagine how attractive both options seem. I have already scraped flesh off my face, Brief perk. But I need to pass the time until I can call my pain doctor somehow..
I hope your mother feels better soon, Laura, and that the jobma stays in full effect for you, Jilli.

I'm sorry, ita. I hope you can get some relief for your neck pain soon.

Thanks, Calli. I'm useless until then--it takes twice as long to get things done if I can do them, and the number of times I've ended up standing in the store crying and then just leaving without getting groceries...
Even if I got an appointment today (10 minutes to call), I'd probably Uber it there. I feel nervous about driving.

I also am checked in! I need to hit the ATM and go to Walgreens for tiny toiletries so I can try to carry on my suitcase.

I wish I could wrap you in bubble wrap, ita. Not that it would do anything but comfort =me=, really, but at least I'd feel like I was doing something.
Got some minor out-patient surgery this afternoon -- digging a small sebaceous cyst out of my forehead. After years of having an obvious bump, even a small scar seems preferable, that is if it scars....

Our wings are not tired.
Yay Quito!
I hope an appointment is achieved, ita, and more so that it yields effective relief.

I'm so sorry, ita. I wish I could do something.
Enjoy yourselves, travelers! I am wishing I had just stayed on vacation - work exploded in a couple different ways while I was gone.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
digging a small sebaceous cyst out of my forehead.
I have one of those, too! Or, that's what my doctor says it is. I would expect a sebaceous cyst to be squishy, but mine is hard, which is why I went to the doctor in the first place -- I was worried it was something horrific. (Mine is in my hairline, so I haven't done anything about it yet.)
