Happy birthday to enchant and hookncrook!

Hello to new readers atl_boy, the_colombian, and zephre!

Medical
Really weird night last night, in some borderline hallucinatory ways. Very unpleasant. *shiver*

Today, I'm okay (and back at work), with the usual nausea, exhaustion, thick tongue, tingly face. EDIT: Mild confusion. Some loss of coordination.

Marker: I am on 450mgAM/600mgPM of Trileptal. *firm nod*

Sale Progress
Everything is laundered. Many things are hung. Nothing is yet tagged, as I wish to examine all potential sale items in broad daylight to make sure nothing is stained. Also, I need more hangers.

My Birthday
I am now 2/3 of the way to having a corset! Please throw a couple of bucks my way if you would like to help with my birthday gift. Thanks! :)

My birthday is the day after tomorrow! *squee!*

Boston Tea Party
Bostonians and those from surrounding areas: Is April 30 a good day for my party there? It seems to be the earliest I can get there...

More Important Ways To Spend Your Money, Actually
wiseheron is trying to get a fund together to leave her abusive husband. All corset fun aside, if you can only donate to one thing, donate to her.

Why I Talk More About docorion Than About Other Partners
Because, whereas some of my partners have been very private people, docorion is a self-described Media Slut. :)

Prompt
"When I awoke the next morning...."

Writing Prompt: "When I awoke the next morning..."

He awakened slowly, shedding remnants of his dream. Something about Capri, it had been...

Capri.

He froze, coming all the way back to consciousness instantly. Oh, no. Capri.... he looked down at her, snuggled against him as she'd been so many times before.

Never naked, before.

He squeezed his eyes shut. Oh, no. No no no...

I've done the thing I swore I'd never do.

Quoting

from Lying Awake by Mark Salzman. The character is a nun. From the back cover: "Sister John's waking dreams have led her toward the deepest religious ecstasy she has ever known, and have allowed her life and writings to become an example of the rewards of devotion for her fellow supplicants." Note from 'song - her writings are published outside the convent, too, and are popular. "But her visions are accompanied by shattering headaches, and when a doctor reveals that they may be dangerous, se faces a devastating choice. For if her spiritual gifts are symptoms of illness rather than grace, will her "cure" mean the end of her visions and a soul once again at odds with the world?"

I am going to quote a big chunk here, so I'll cut-tag it. ( Like so. )

If you don't read Sordid City Blues, you don't rock.

Flat Stanley

Dude!

( Lookie! )

Is that a Flat Stanley?

Did Clint Eastwood bring a Flat Stanley to the Oscars?

So cool.
