Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My BFF wants me to make more of an effort with internet dating, but I felt like I didn't have the spoons even before my mom was in the hospital. Now I feel like I need the perfect guy delivered to my door, or I can't be assed to even try.

Yeah, I've felt that way for 2+ years. I'm not sure why I'm not a character in a Jennifer Crusie book! (If I were, I'm pretty sure the perfect guy would be delivered to my door.)

Echoes of what's going on with one character showing up with another all over the place, especially wrt identity, my favorite topic for sci-fi to explore. It's really well crafted.

Totally.

Anyway, maybe take a break before Memory. Recover and build up your strength.

That sounds like good advice that I will not take. (I don't have an unread book on hand.)

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

Ah well. At least you are forewarned.

You don't live in central or southern Ohio? ("Faking It" is my favorite Crusie book, but "Graeter's" is misspelled and it hurts my SOUL every time.)

Shit, is what where I went wrong?

For the record, I live here, and my life is also not like a Jennifer Crusie book. Except for the Graeter's and inevitable hot sex. And, okay, my family is weird as hell, but we're not grifters or Old Money.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Man, I got up this morning for the 7AM call, then took an impromptu nap. Then I had a doctor's appointment and went to lunch, and now I'm on the couch trying not to drift off again. I have lost my awake for the day.

It's surprising we aren't grifters. We're probably headed that way.

I have lost my awake for the day.

I've been fighting to stay awake all day. On top of whatever else is stealing my awake, I slept like utter crap last night.

Well heck, just heard from the doctor's office. My thyroid is "sluggish" so I'm just to add an 1/2 dose twice a week. My B12 and D are also low, so slight changes to the frequency of my B12 shots and a new Vitamin D prescription. But my iron is bang on normal.

Yes, slight adjustments to make, but I don't see how these changes are enough to counter my exhaustion. If I don't feel better in a couple of weeks, I'm going to ask for a referral to a hematologist.
