Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Zofran is the brand name for a common and effective prescription anti-nausea med, Cindy.

For ginger tea, you could just thinly slice ginger and steep in hot water.

ETA! Ha! I was a wee bit behind and added *nothing* to the conversation.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm just wondering if the Fernet got Scola last night.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I add my endorsement for using ginger to help alleviate nausea. I like Gin Gins brand candies, myself.

Check the coffee/tea aisle of your local grocery stores for ginger tea, most of the commercial tea companies offer it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I told my therapist person that what I was 100% most anxious about was the big orange sticker on my door and the fact that they haven't reinspected. I can't settle and I am unhungry.

She reassured me that the inspections guys don't really care, that if my landlord thinks it will pass, it will probably pass, and if it doesn't I cleaned up everything and it will be something on him

She also said I should take the big orange sticker, fold it up into an origami crane and stick it back on the door. That way I haven't removed it. But she really thought the inspectors would not fail me if I took it down!

So I am feeling much better again. She still thinks there is nothing really wrong with me except that I got overwhelmed, I am anxiety prone, and a hypochondriac, so I think everything is wrong with me!! She said if I was a true hoarder, I would have had much more trouble cleaning up. But I am seeing her again in a month to check it.

I read fernet as format? I thought he was editing something that turned the whole page pink or something like that!

I was out on the town last night, but the dinner I had wasn't agreeing with me, so I ordered a Fernet, and it calmed my stomach right down.

Well, dang. Magical healing properties of Fernet!

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

I read fermet as fermat and, in my sleep-muddled state, tried to figure out of Tom's post number was a Fibonacci series.

Time for coffee. And maybe a piece of ginger gum (which is mostly sugar and not that ginger tasting so I'm not going to recommend it for anti-nausea purposes, but does taste nice)
