Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

I'm on my way to urgent care for unexplained and excruciating back and chest pain that cropped up last night. (Not the heart kind of chest pain, to be clear - more like somebody snuck up and crushed my ribs. But I'd remember that, right?)

Crossing my fingers it's nothing, but I will report back on what if any vegetation is involved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, brenda! I hope they can fix you up quickly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope it's nothing, Brenda!

Because books.

Ugh, brenda. That's a good plan.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

brenda, that's not good! I hope they can figure it out and it's easily fixed.

From the article Jesse linked to:

Pulmonary vegetation is not unheard of. Last year, doctors discovered a fig tree, measuring 5 centimeters, growing inside the lung of a 28-year-old Russian man, according to news reports.

Nyugh.

Cheerios:

School starts today. We have a half day that starts in 2 hours. I'm pretty much ready to go and don't have much to do now. Kinda can't wait for the kids to get here.

I hope brenda doesn't have a kale plant growing in her lungs.
