Isn't this a great cover? It'll be out on the 23rd. My story is a sapphic one, set in the Hocking Hills of Ohio (yes again) and we do love our cryptids in Ohio. If you're interested you can preorder it
here.

All I did today was be stuck atop an icy hill and help Mom take down Christmas. This is a multi day process. I have decided next Christmas I DO need to come home asap because I never get to any of the things I want to do after the holiday. I had at least a half dozen holiday things I wanted to do and I'll be lucky to do one. sigh.

I did finish another [community profile] fandomtrees today and posted it. WHEE! There are still plenty of empty or low trees if you want to check out the list and see if there's anything you might like to write.

I was supposed to join my brother and SiL for dinner. Couldn't get off the hill.

Okay so it's not really a thing in America and mostly all we did today was lie about watching British mysteries and being thankful no one else was in the house!

I also wrote a lot and washed clothes. Put my Christmas photos in a file. Probably will share them with you tomorrow.

Here's the story I wrote

Title: There'll Be a Hot Time in Old Town Tonight

Summary: Angel is hosting his first Sinsmas party as an overlord. He wants to ease his nerves about it with a dinner for friends but with rival overlords and scrapping turf war wannabes, will his party be a success or a dismal failure?

Rating: teen and up

Author Note - Written for spikesgirl58’s six words challenge. The words were Form, Illness, Session, Government, Lunch,& Relief and for lyrical bingo for the prompt of Pre-1900 song. I chose There'll Be a Hot Time in Old Town Tonight by Bessie Smith.

I also wrote this a holiday gift for my friend JK. It was meant to be Pentious centric. Angel was having none of it. It’s part of my Angel overlord AU. It’s a stand alone (but feel free to read the rest of the series if you want) All you need to know is Valentino is dead (Angel killed him) and Angel’s taken over Val’s empire with the help of his brother. The couple’s outfit Angel and Husker are wearing at the party (not to mention their dance moves) were inspired by Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, especially this dance

Here's my day

1. Call vascular surgeon because no signs of my blood thinners. His nurse says Oh, your script was rejected. How did that happen? she asks herself

Me- Why did no one CALL me and tell me this?

Oh, I'm not sure. I'll make sure the doctor signs this today. If he did I don't think it was sent.


2. CVS after specifically being told not to fill my insulin filled my insulin. Now they'll have to put it back.

3. Been tracking my adagio tea order. It left NJ made it to Pittsburgh which sent it back to where it started in NJ. Made it to Pitt again. Wed they put up a can't deliver to that location. Meanwhile I have 2 boxes from Adagio in my bedroom proving they can. Go to the post office and the package it there and the substitute postmaster didn't put the delivery notice in the box. At least it was there


wrote a story that I think is really good but will probably get little notice. Ah well. I'm proud of it regardless


Title: Red Rain Is Coming Down All Over Me

Summary: Angel has gone back to Valentino because what choice does he have? That’s what he tells himself. That’s the only thing that will keep his friends safe. Being constantly high is his only solace but even drugs can only do so much. How long before he breaks?

Rating: Mature

Notes:Written for spikesgirl58s six word challenge. The words were Fireman Draw Pay Undo Exciting Frog
Also written for the allbingo prompt of (What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue and the lyrical titles bingo prompt of Lyric with "red" "green" or "blue". I chose Red Rain by Peter Gabriel.

I had such high expectations of getting the cards out, the gifts, grading all the things etc. etc. I should have realized it was no attainable.

I need to keep better records over the year as I tend to buy gifts at cons and festivals and now there is way too much and I got so flustered I left my house to reset at the coffee shop. The post office was fucking nuts because they have ONE person worker (and he's explaining how he is the only one because of the stupid) There is another woman but all she did was ask are you picking up or dropping off. No idea why she couldn't work the other register.

Also a monster storm is coming so like everyone else I go to the store. I get a rotissiere chicken because if I DO lose power I have a whole chicken to pick at in the cold. (bread and peanut butter too) CVS and the dollar store was just as bad and then the bank tells me they no longer have a coin counter. What am I going to do with all these coins? Sigh.

It took until 7 pm to get all the grades done except my two research students (tomorrow's worry) I am fielding are you going to round that up? Yes I am but your 70.2 isn't rounding to a fucking 73%. Sorry, you didn't do nearly well enough to pass.

I also managed to aspirate my lunch and have been coughing up crap off and on for hours since my lungs are pissed at me.

I did however managed to avoid spoilers for The Amazing Digital Circus's episode 7 drop and got to see the episode. More about that maybe on Tuesday.

And I did some writing.


Title: Forget Our Memories, Forget Our Possibilities

Summary: Angel knows he had no choice but to return to Valentino. It was the only way to keep his friends safe from him. He wants them to forget him but he can’t forget them. He writes letters as often as he can. Will he one day be brave enough to send them?

Rating: teen

Notes: written for the allbingo prompt of love letters and the lyrical titles bingo prompt of Lyric with "remember" or "forget". I chose Don’t Stay by Linkin Park.

cornerofmadness: by <lj user=jordannamorgan> (teaching fury)
Because dear sweet baby Jesus my students are challenging me. I had two lab finals today. For both I said DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING. READ THE QUESTIONS. I pointed out like three times pre-exam that I could ask 1. What is this muscle 2. What is this origin/insertion 3. What is the muscle's action.

Not only are they putting muscle names in for actions (because they didn't read) and then because there is cardio on my nursing version of this those words are on the wordbank too and my upper level A&P students see those words and the question is what is the action of XYZ and they tell me mitral valve. How do you a) not know that's not an action (and this was MORE than 1 person) how do you know realize I have never once mention the fucking word mitral valve?!?


The second lab final today runs from 1-2:50. At 140 I get an email alert and it's one of my students who is MIA (I assumed she finally realized she can't possibly pass and didn't come, like one of the others did). I didn't hear my alarm and I overslept (it's nearly 2 pm....) I'm coming next week to make up the practical. No, you have an hour left on the exam. Be here or get a zero. She comes and from what she handed me was likely a zero anyhow. But She did have 2 hours because so many students (who didn't tell me they were coming friday at 1. THREE told me this and I had to get the secretary to get me more answer sheets. THIS is why I tell you to communicate with me.) my lab couldn't hold them all so they needed more time. I said they could have til 320. (that's an extra half hour). At 330 a dozen were still there. No, move on now. At 340 I demanded the tests back. If you don't know it after 3 hours then you don't know it.


Here me screaming as I yank out all my hair. Btw I feel justified in giving out a 23% to my upper levels because 4 out of 8 got 100%. It was far from impossible.

Bah, have the fannish 50 recs. I have been writing but it's all for [community profile] fandomtrees and I can't share it. I am really intrigued by the Hazbin prompts there. I will say that.

The List due South

Offer of Protection Teen Wolf
cornerofmadness: (husker dust back to back)
Didn't really shop unless you count the liquor store (I do). My friend MKF wanted to meet up at Tim Horton's in Athens. We tried to recapture the old Nano energy this year. No one showed up us two but that's okay. We're enough. We're planning to try again in Feb (though that might have to be Saturday afternoons or online). We actually spend more time talking than writing but ah well.

My throat and tooth still hurt. Fun times but I picked up a Skeletonwitch pizza in Athens and taunted my mother with it (I need to buy her one on my way home)

But here's the weird thing. As I left today my landlord's truck was out there with a trailer holding a washing machine...wait? You are putting machines IN our apartment. I DO NOT have one. Now I need to make another phone call. I REALLY need to get my shit together tomorrow and Sunday and clean up this place so I can get him in here.

Also Hazbin Hotel is now officially my most spendy fandom since the Buffyverse (which still wears the trading money for magic beans crown) It needs to have less cool merch.

And now on to the Fannish 50 friday recs. Look, I wrote a thing.


Title: Never Gonna Give You Up

Summary: Angel is gone. Husk disappears into a bottle and stays there until he swims to rock bottom. Determined not to leave Angel with his abusers, Husk sobers enough and proposes his plan to the rest of the hotel. They’ll help him. They may already have plans he was too drunk to notice. All Husk knows he’s never going to give Angel up and desert him.

Rating: teen

Notes: This is open ended (because I’m writing it for a weekly challenge) and certainly won’t be my last speculation on how the hotel crew get Angel back from the Vees.

Content warning – alcoholism and addiction references.

Written for Spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The words were Faded, Odd, Coherent, Consign, Rise, & Dwell. Also written for the allbingo prompt of Love is putting someone else's needs before your own (a quote by Olaf in Frozen).
Also written for the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt, a meme song. I chose the GOAT of meme songs Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Ha, that’s right, I just Rickrolled my whole readership (wearing an Alastor grin right now, or at the very least, Rosie’s).

Between my coworkers seeming to NOT understand that this 'new shining insurance' will cost in the long run three times the shit show we have and the unqualified twit Trump has running the Dept of Education deciding nursing is not a professional degree (which would make it harder to get student loans for it among other horrible things) I have had enough of this fucking day. And my apple set off my gastric paresis so not vomiting was a real chore in lab

I'm glad we didn't have the writers meeting. I'm not fit for man or beast (nor have I answered or read posts since...omg nearly the 7th, go me) so have fannish 50 recs

I wrote a thing!!


Title: Only Shades of Gray

Summary: Angel is ready to help his new lover, one of hell’s up and coming overlords grab more territory. But who walks into Valentino’s would-be new territory but someone Angel had been waiting for for decades. So, his brother had finally died.

Rating: teen

Notes:This is set in the late 1970s which is currently, from the old notes up on fandom wiki, the time period in which both Valentino and Arackniss died. So I gave hell that same 70s vibe and this would be when Valentino is just building his empire and what Angel’s role is in it. And his first meeting with his brother after Arackniss died. I am sticking with Giovanni for Arackniss’ living years name as the old notes have him as a Jonathan.

Content warning – Angel’s family is homophobic so there are references to that along with time period appropriate history for Angel’s living years in the 1930s and 40s.

Written Spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The words were Cave, Situation, Extent, Shy, Sip, & Ambitious

And written for the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt, Song with a color in the title. I chose Shades of Gray by The Monkees. And for the allbingo prompt of Duty is heavier than a mountain. Death light as a feather. This quote is used in the story and it is from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time.

This house is never going to get cleaned. Not even doing one little bit at a time is helping me to get going. Sigh. Maybe someone should cut my internet and board me up in here...(take my tv too)

I barely had the gumption to go get my meds and to the coffee shop because I needed out of my head. I got a lot of writing done but that was just really a reason to come home and continue when I should have been working.

I went to put up the missing slides from my powerpoint which I put in red in front of my students so we all knew which ones that were missing. Guess what didn't save.


I was looking at [profile] fandomtress and wondering what in the world is going to make this happen on time. Ha. There are SO. MANY. different fandoms and very few overlap so far. I found 4 I could work on. And hey here is my tree if you'd like to gimme a gift.

Speaking of fandom, I have to share this. I shared this video with [personal profile] evil_little_dog of even more of Husk's new powers because they are so cool and I'm excited by them. check my boy out (and I think I've already shared this Husk glow up) and ELD responds with this reminds me of Gambit (probably remembering he IS my favorite X-Man) and omg she's right Gambit's power

I SO have a type. Apparently if you can set shit on fire (Roy, Zuko, Todoroki) or charge shit up and whip it at people (Gambit, Husk) you are my boy. Also I did NOT know this had been done to Gambit so there you go, another way to deal with an overpowered character. You Nerf them.


And hey check this out Alan Tudyk Launching New Podcast with Nathan Fillion called ‘Once, We Were Spacemen’ This could be so cool.

So all I did was go to the writers group meeting in Athens to relax and that helped until my sugar decided you know what would be fun? Let's hit 500 and now go into freefall. Maybe she'll live, maybe she won't. It's falling so fast right now my dexcom has double down arrows. I've never even SEEN that before. This shall be a fun night.

So have the story I wrote this week. I'm happy about it.

Title: The Way You Look Tonight

Summary: All Husk wanted to do was something fun for his special day. What he got was paperwork and disappointment until something unexpected happened. In that moment, he truly saw Angel for what he was: one of the most amazing people Husk had ever known.

So I was there when it opened because I had to vacate the hotel and the coffee house I wanted to go to is on street parking and good luck finding a spot. Ha. My new GPS doesn't know its left from its right but it's rather hard to miss the Washington County fairground building. I have questions. Big ones.

This venue is on par with the tiny cons my friends run in Athens or the one at my university. the space is about the size of a basketball court. So HOW did they get nearly a dozen guests lined up? Granted these aren't A listers but still. I thought there would be more events than this. Nope just the cosplay and the vendors so note to self, next time just drive up. There are no lines for this (much like the aforementioned small cons) or at least come up to Marietta and do other things the night before.

The vendors were good. I bought crap I don't need like usual (You bought a plant Dana. Go to your shame corner). I bought more rocks (now you stay in that shame corner) but I didn't buy books (okay you can come out eventually) I did get a cool wine glass (I thought it was glass but its food safe resin) with Medusa on it. More and more she feels like my spiritual twin. Bought some holiday gifts.

Had the singularly worst cup of coffee this year. They had a drink vendor, mostly these fruity drinks made of 90% torani syrups and pop. I can't drink those (because my sugar is sky high today, maybe because I slept like crap on that rock hard broke ass bed) 'oh we just added coffee'. It sounded good. Basically caramel and butterscotch with some whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. At least it wasn't pricey. I swear to you there was a demon in it that drank up the sugar because it was bitter as hell in spite of the syrups and I'm fairly sure it was just brown water. Like did you make a singular cup of coffee and then water it down into this?!?

So...I met Butch Patrick. I did think Eddie Munster was cute when I was a child. He was a sweet guy seemed very impressed that I was a doctor (that came up in conversation with someone else standing in line while we waited for the boomer to figure out how to use his phone to take payment). Shook my hand upon meeting me wasn't expecting that.



I had planned to go to Spagna's for lunch, the Italian place I like in Marietta but oops it's dinner only but right around the corner (literally) is Harmar historical village within Marietta (one of the oldest cities in Ohio) and Harmar tavern. I did a dumb thing. I looked at the ABV percentage of alcohol after I drank the drink. I'm like Oooo Ace's Peach cider (they do, for my money, the best ciders in America) I didn't think about it having a lot of alcohol. Only as much as three beers. Oops. I tried food I wouldn't normally eat, a juicy lucy with pimento cheese, hot honey and pickles. It seemed like usual sandwich price...only I learned it had no fries/chips/side of any kind so that made it pricier and...someone in their kitchen needs to learn what a juicy lucy is (the cheese is inside the burger). It was tasty but it wasn't a juicy lucy.

I also needed gas so I swung past Stokes coffee shop on my way to the gas station which I haven't been too in forever. Pumpkin Maple Macchiato oooo so good. I let the caffeine and alcohol battle it out (shut up liver, you're fine)

I stopped off in Athens at Marshall's for more christmas shopping and into Jackson for my brisket sandwich (eating more beef in one day than I usually do all month)

And then I cam home and started grading the last class of bone practical exams. It's finally happened. Someone scored a zero. They wrote something in every blank but missed all 85 questions. I didn't think that was possible. Also everyone the hyoid is NOT a baby mandible. Good guess though. Can someone get more about five more of those 10% alcohol ciders?

Quite a few of my coworkers have October birthdays so we always go out to dinner to celebrate them. Went to Arch and Eddie's for the first time in a year. Definitely a different app menu from Sixth Sense (Like I said, two different owners now) Also something new, two fried chicken sliders with siracha sauce, broccoli slaw and general Tso's sauce. REALLY damn good actually. As was the raspberry whip (whipped cream vodka, pineapple juice and raspberry puree.

We went from that to Michael's for ice cream parfaits, I had the apple cider with marshmallow and caramel sauce.

But still...I wish this was last night so I could have gone on the ghost walk. ah well. it was still fun.

Okay I forgot I had a ghost thing today so you'll get the history stuff tomorrow.

As for the ghost thing, I went with TH to the Bossard Library for Stories of Ohio's Haunted Places. It was entertaining but not what I was hoping for. I was expecting paranormal investigation. I got stories instead. He was in his 70s and as he told the stories he'd reveal an antique that somehow linked into the story. So for me it sort of made them feel more like campfire stories than real but some I know of from other places like the Gray Lady of Camp Chase Cemetery in Columbus.

ALso he was a bit of a show man. Each item did a little 'haunted item' thing so he has some stage magic training. Over all he was fun.

Title: Can't Ever Keep From Falling Apart at the Seams

Summary: Angel has been pushed one step too far by Valentino’s abuse and comes undone. Luckily Husk is there to help him pick up the pieces only he’s not sure if his advice is helping.

Rating: teen

Notes: Written for whumptober 2025 for the day 9 prompt - “We’ll make it alright to come undone.”

Charleston WV it like an hour and 10 minutes from me. It's closer than Columbus. I think it stems from when I moved down here and back then there wasn't a highway TO the city and you had to poke your way through cow country. I about cried when they moved Tsubasacon back here from Huntington (which is actually further from me!!)


Surely there has to be things to see over here, being a capitol city right? I'm only ever here for Madri Gras casino or Tsu. But the fact this is only 60 miles away is why I never stay for the con and only come one day (it's small and the panels have been...meh). However last year I got here like a half hour after it opened last year and I was in the check in line for TWO hours. It wasn't worth that. So I decided why not spend the night and do the evening stuff.

Turns out that was a such a good idea. Opening ceremonies were at 3. I got here 10 to 3 and was about to check in to the holiday inn across the street. I check in and decide I want to see the 630 panel SOOOO I'm getting too old and lazy to do multiple changes of clothing so I hop over to get my weekend badge and there is NO ONE in line. OMG. I whip in and now I have 1 1/2 hours before dinner (because of reasons)so I check out the vendors room because I know the Hellaverse shit will sell out asap.

I get more compliments on my walks in the graveyard t-shirt from Betty than I was likely to on my cosplay (I was right No one said boo about my Edalyn). I was going at mach one through it but yes I did notice a) almost all the same vendors as usual b) none of them seems to have changed their stock, sigh c) found the coaster guy who I got Valentino by at Mothman fest. Got more overpriced coasters (had to have huskerdust and a beautiful one of Roy Mustang, my forever anime husband) I know I will go much more slowly tomorrow, get some more holiday gifts (not you [personal profile] evil_little_dog I'm good through 4/26)

Don't let me buy more dice. Don't let me buy another t-shirt. Knee cap me if you see me going for wall art. Stickers dana, stick to stickers. Texted BFF from college to get her child. Should text others while tempting I probably should not get JK the wall art of Cherri and Pentious.

So I haul over my goods back to the hotel. The elevator makes worrisome sounds. I change into a non-t-shirt for dinner because the one thing I've noticed about Charleston, it had at least three James Beard nominated/winning chefs running around (That's like the Oscars for chefs for the non-foodies on my list) two are at restaurants with James Beard pricing (30$ for a salad, yeah No. 35$ for fried chicken? I'll hit KFC first). However Ristorante Abruzzi has barely over normal Italian prices and is supposed to be abruzzese inspired (and that's where my family is from)

I pull into the parking garage across the street, get out and into the elevator. It's for the hospital. Okay...I go to the first floor and it opens INTO the hospital. Well then. I return to the car and the lot next to the restaurant is for the ballpark behind it. I go across the street the other way where there is a huge parking lot for family dollar and a lung center and toss up my handicapped tag hoping I won't get towed and go in. Neat menu but I should have gone for the mushroom pasta instead of the blue crab/goat cheese ravioli with a wine cream sauce, sweet corn and asparagus. Honestly the corn seemed weird in this and the goat cheese overpowered the crab (except on my breath). It was good but I expected more. I did get a stuck up waiter who was obviously pissed off to get a solo patron at HIS table (in fancy jeans, not a pantsuit. Eye roll)

I return to the hotel, pull on my Edalyn Clawthorn (The Owl House) cosplay and walk over. I get three Japanese buns for dessert and late night snacks and try to find the panel I want Hot Anime Dads I can't find it. Find one on yokai but it's the same awful presenter I sat through last year. He was still awful and I'm only catching the tail end.

I leave and try my phone out of desperation as I don't have internet access on it...until today! After 3 weeks it's working again and I find my panel in the big room. Yay. Vitamin H are two sapphic partners who are 'professional panelists.' I did NOT know that was a thing but their quality shows that they are doing this often and well. They picked a bunch of dads throughout the years. They were funny and thorough and I really liked this panel. My only problem...my sugar bottomed out (in spite of pasta dinner) had to eat my buns. damn

My next panel isn't for an hour. I should have gone to find the band but instead I stop in to the manga library and read X-Gender (not for me) and made it halfway thru Hooves of Death about unicorns in Yellowstone protecting humans from zombies...

the 830 panel was on urban legends in Japan, also by Vitamin H. I thought this was even better than the first (with the one exception of they couldn't dim the lights and some stuff was hard to see) I couldn't believe how many girl ghost in the bathroom slasher movies there are.

Came back happy with this day. Found the groaning moaning elevator is broken (I'm on the 6th floor) at least one was working and oh this room basically has a fainting couch perfect for stretching out and using my lap desk. the twist I put on my knee yesterday has left it swollen

Tell me some good news, I beg you. Or give me a cool song, or kittens or something. It's personally been a horrible week and today was a really sad topper.

I gave a make up exam to a student who turned it in to me with an 'I know I didn't do well. I missed so much.' and then broke down crying because she'll miss so much more because her cancer is back. I'm used to consoling patients but let me tell you, it's very different consoling an 80s year old with life threatening news than it is an 18 year old (The people at St Jude's, you have my undying gratitude and your strength amazes me). I felt so bad for her. I told her to ask for any help I can give (but I also think I'm going to double check on medical withdrawals and money back but honestly if she's going to be getting chemo and is going to be gone, that would be the best for her. No one needs to face what she's facing AND knowing you're going to fail too)

Also did I mention that I got my abdominal CT scan back? No signs of more cancer so good for me.

ANd changing gears, have the fannish 50 weekly recs.

to rest up from the rest of this hellscape of a week, just hit the coffee shop, the library and the bank and to write. I finished up a chapter of [community profile] fandomtrumpshate which is so overdue in my head it's not funny (it's not late but it feels late to me)

I didn't get to do the book thing yesterday so have it now plus all my reads in September!


What I Just Finished Reading:

Cards on the Table - Agatha Christie - a good reminder she was a woman of her time and that Italians were NOT liked well in the 20s and 30s The victim seems to have deserved to die because Dagos are shifty and untrustworthy....it's not in there much but it was there in the beginning and I set this aside for years and now it's back about mid way in...

Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World - imagine Gavin or Lindsey trying to get promoted at Wolfram and Hart and you more or less have it. It's interesting but it's hard to root for Colin since he's actively evil and petty. I thought the ending was...a tiny bit undeserved

Ghost Roast - a cute YA graphic novel think Ghostbusters in New Orleans with a young girl and dealing with the history (good and the very bad) of plantations and what should be done with them. And yes ghosts, cute ghosts





What I am Currently Reading:

The Gallery Assistant - a mystery set in the aftermath of 911 and I already hate the protagonist (figures, it's an arc and I feel obligated to finish those)

The Queen of Blood - a YA fantasy I've had on my shelf for too many years now. It's not bad so far but yes the first quarter is more dark academia, fit to survive school (eye roll)

Ash's Cabin - a YA graphic novel a queer coming of age


What I Plan to Read Next: I'm so behind on my challenges. something for that.


All of September's reads. You know the drill, if you like books and wanna talk about any of these let's talk


Third Shift Society, Vol. 2 paranormal graphic novel

What Moves the Dead gothic horror/Poe retelling


The Secret of Orange Blossom Cake Magic realism/romance


Nothing Special, Vol. 2: Concerning Wings fantasy YA graphic novel


The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor Gothic horror ya graphic novel

Because the day was boring and I'm still unwell so have fiction



Title: Something to Make My Heart Beat the Faster

Summary: Charlie has decided to make a more in depth infomercial for the hotel. Alastor’s input is to add a little melodrama to it as well to showcase the idea of self-sacrifice as a path to redemption, volunteering Husk for the short movie. Angel can’t wait and he has ideas of his own for how this should go. He’s the movie expert, after all.

Rating: mature

Notes: Written for spikegirl58’s six word challenge. The six words were Wet, Implied, Thirsty, Dress, Grumpy & Surprise. These words couldn’t have been more perfect for a story inspired by (and spoilers for) the S2 teaser if they had tried. Also written for the allbingo prompt of rum and the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt a pre-1950s song. I chose All the Things You Are, originally written for a 1939 musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammestein and covered by many. This version if by Ella Fitzgerald.

This is definitely a spoiler for that little teaser trailer for S2 so read or not accordingly if you don’t want even a hint of spoiler.

So after throwing up at 1 AM as I was getting ready for bed I made a choice to not continue at the moment on this med. My heart burn is so bad and the nausea rampant that there was no way to keep on to 'see if I adjust'. It took until 10 tonight to not be nauseated but my stomach hurts so badly that I was honestly weighing going to the ER to be sure it's not a bleeding ulcer. I chose not to because a) I doubt they'd do anything other than to say see a GI doc (like 4 months from now) b) cut for tmi ) I still might go to urgent care if this pain and heart burn continue. I am worried that the med made my stomach issues worse.

Saw the allergist today. No one took my blood pressure. I should have asked them to but I was still SO sick at that point (he saw it immediately) I'm still light headed (another reasons to fear a bleed but as I said, there aren't signs of one so I'm not hitting the panic button yet). Got my allergy pills redone.

Went to get meds in Jackson, wanted to do the Jackson Apple fest. went to the library to see the quilt part of it and...they didn't do it this year. Aw. Then realized the building they usually do the craft vendors in is being torn down and I didn't know where they'd be now and also realized I was way too light headed to walk blocks to this so I came home. Sigh.

That's not too much to ask is it? Apparently so. I already had to drive around the horn this morning because I forgot they were setting up for this coming week's Apple Festival (how the fuck is half of Sept already gone?)

I get home to my defrosting fridge. I'm trying it again. Maybe I turned it on before it dried out last time and it refroze. I got two of the fridge shelves cleaned and dried and one of the things I saw on YT tutorials was the bottom vents might be blocked causing the fridge part to heat up. Okay fine. So I'm cleaning them, going good but since my fridge is jammed in a corner and the door can't even open fully, my shoulder is against the door.

The cheap ass plastic shelf guard comes off and a bottle of chili crisp oil hits ground, shatters and everything is covered in red oil. Is my foot cut? I dunno. It hurts but is it cut or is the fucking chili oil giving me chemical burns? Don't see blood. Manage to clean up my foot...so I thought as I hobble to the shower to clean it well and neutralize the caustic oil. Had it between my toes, didn't know and now there are orange oil footprints on this old shit carpet (got them out with resolve).

Takes me at least 30 minutes to clean up oil. Everything in that fridge is a loss. Even the spreadable butter is green. That's how hot the inside is. Sigh. I still have jars I'm going to rinse and toss sitting on the floor because now it's 730 at night and I need to get this over with. I don't think it's getting cold but it's early days. I do think I'll need to replace it and I am unhappy. SO unhappy. Like I have time to clean and move everything. Like I have a PLACE to move it to. I guess I'll get more plastic totes and put it on the porch, you know the one that's collapsing? sigh.

Finally seeing the second Aquaman movie. Did the same person also write the second Black Panther movie. They seem about 70% the same and that is not a compliment.

And before I forget, happy birthday to [personal profile] shanachie_quill

I have started posting one of my two [community profile] wipbigbang, Here you go (though I'm doubtful anyone here shares this fandom with me). I'm just going to be linking it since it'll be long.

Title: The Porn Star Murders

Summary: Angel has settled in well after the death of Valentino at his hands. He is running Val’s movie empire with far more skill than anyone thought. What he wants to concentrate on now is taking the budding relationship with Husker to the next level. What he gets is someone ‘murdering’ his best stars. Death might not be permanent in hell but when his stars are torn to flinders, it’ll take them a long time to pull themselves together. It is good way to ruin his business and bring his term as an overlord to an end. With Husker, Rosie and Arackniss at his side, Angel has to track down this threat to his new empire and deal with it like his father taught him so long ago.
