Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, the attending has said it doesn't matter, he's not giving me the recommended and coincidentally sometimes effective dosage. So I can either take the smaller doses or leave. I wish there were something in it for me to leave, but the 5% chance that it will work....

I love how the nurse started out with all these statements of what is and isn't true. Save me getting emotional and just read the damned file, will you? Enough with the "never". She's on my side too (she noticed I seemed unaffected by the slow dosages I've been given, but recommended I refuse all meds until someone talks to me first.

I'm headachey with the same month old pain, I'm both nauseous (fuck off) and hungry, and above all, really not looking forwards to starting another week feeling so sick. But I'm aiming not to leave here without a conversation with the attending and the social worker, hopefully...

Happy birthday wishes to -t, Pix, and Maria!

I'm already tired and it's only 8:30. K is taking a Krav belt test today. Oof.

It doesn't start until 2:30. And I'm in charge of twin wrangling, which is a test of its own that time on a sunday.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, fuck, ita ! I'm so sorry. I absolutely do not understand why why WHY they have to be such utter fucks and why you have to have the same stupid fight every fucking week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apparently the appropriate next step is admission. It is a highly inefficient time wasting step that will probably eat into my work day tomorrow, but apparently I need to show them I'm taking my headache seriously.

Because, you know.

Happy B-day Maria and Pix. The weather is lovely (if not cold) here, so I hope it is lovely where you both are.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy belated to -t! And happy birthdays to Maria and Pix!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Somehow my google calendar decided to switch a recurring reminder from every 4 weeks to monthly, every second Sunday. Why would they do that? Do they have a stake in my fertility?
