1. The classes are over (the bad is yet another student told me the organ with baby kittens falling out of it was the brain)

2. My heart is fine.

The bad? This doctor has seen the last of me. He's an ass. Yeah I made another appointment (mostly because I didn't want them calling). It's not for 6 months so I have plenty of time to find another cardiologist. You could see it in his eyes. I wasn't sick enough to be interesting. I'm not really that sick at all.

Me, being an absent minded idiot, even though i finished inputting info into my blood pressure log, I forgot to print it. I DID have it on my flashdrive in my purse. When I offered it his reply was 'I don't need to see it.'

Then why the fuck did you make me DO three blood pressures a day for a fucking month?!?

My echo hadn't changed in 9 years (which I knew) and he was ready to let it go with that but I was NOT (he was running behind because he'd been called into the ER)

Me: so I have mild tricuspid regurgitation
Him: not unusual in women (I know this but I plan to go over my results point by point and fuck him trying to race off)

Me: but also mild diastolic dysfunction. Is that from sleep apnea (I know it is and my psychiatrist was concerned by this)
Him: yes, see someone to get a sleep study (i.e. not me)

Me: what would cause my diasstolic pressure to be so low (it's been 50-65 most of the time. Normal is 80)? this I didn't know but has gone to mayo clinic to look up. Often it's dehydration which makes sense being diabetic.

Him: could be aortic regurgitation but you didn't have that on echo, could be some athersclerosis but I doubt it (could be though I am diabetic) but we can't do anything about that (okay fair)

Me: did you get my month long (I'm still itching my chest wounds) holter monitor?
Him: yes.

Me: And? It didn't tell me because most patients wouldn't understand it, I know but I want to see what it said.

Him: You're tachycardic
Me: no duh, that's why I've had two echos now, and?

Him: and nothing really. No afib (thank god), no real issues, just tachycardia and a few pauses.

Me: Pauses? From sleep apnea (most likely)

HIm: nothing to worry about. You really need to talk to your endocrinologist, a lot of this is metabolic.

Me: will do (and get that sleep apnea)

Eye roll. Yeah this is the last I'll see of him. Life's too short to deal with uninterested docs.

One month of blood pressures and he didn't care. It's Beltane and a full moon. You're lucky I'm not hexing you.


Came home and the cheap Victorian gown from Amazon was here. And it's actually not bad quality. Certainly something I can build on for my Rosie cosplay. Alas it does button down the front. I have boobs and it gaps open. I can pin it shut. Also doesn't button at the neck just under the chin but that's fair. I can not bear things around my neck. I can put a brooch on that part.

I think I'm going to keep going to book club because every other month we're having free themed reads vs us all reading one book. Next up summer beach read. I already have the perfect book, a choose your own adventure summer slasher book. Can't wait.

Today was a day where our department might have been too honest with the outside reviewer but maybe having an outsider repeat what we're saying are problems will sink in.

Spoke to my shit insurance about my dex com. Oh yes just send it to the pharmacy. we use them. 3 hours later CVS texts me to say they require authorization. So much for that. Your rep literally LIED to me on the phone. I hate this insurance.

I show up for my echocardiogram and I see the techs in the back in red scrubs. MY students' red scrubs. This will be awkward because I would not be okay with an active student of mine seeing me shirtless. The student in question is not one of mine (he is my coworkers) so fine. I'm good with this.

I don't know what was wrong with this exam table. I mean I'm just lying on my side so they can press the sound transducer to my chest and all four limbs go painfully numb for the entire exam. Did you know looking down from the top the tricuspid valve looks a lot like the mouth of Tremors worms.

I already have the report back. I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and mild tricuspid regurgitation which can lead to breathlessness with exertion (yes that's true) But that's exactly what the report said 9 years ago so I guess the good news is my heart is in relatively good shape and my ejection fraction is where you want it to be.

cornerofmadness: (Do not want)
You know I'll defend medicine/doctors tooth and nail EXCEPT when they exhibit asshole behavior. Once I get through my testing I'm finding a different new cardiologist. the one I met today didn't listen to me. rolled his eyes at me and then berated me and my other doctors.

So why are you here? I explain that I've been coughing and while I think I'm coughing down the hiatal hernia, my GP suggested it might be me internally massaging aFib into rhythm. He literally rolled his eyes and I knew it was on. He then basically went on attack WHY are you still on blood thinner 5 years after your accident. You should have been taken off these years ago.

Well I have a stent.

yes but that's old school giving plavix for it. Yes I guess it's been a while since I wrote for that drug for MY patients (i.e. you're talking to another doctor in case you didn't bother to look) I had to say several times that I will ask my vascular surgeon about it in a few weeks. i.e. I'm not switch my care to you but yes I'll take that drug name and ask him (seriously if I could be off the blood thinners I'd be thrilled).

So again why are you here? Because of what I already told you and I'm tachycardic (my heart rate it too high) and has been for years because we thought it was compensation for my very low blood pressure. And in the last year I've gained 10 pounds (for no real reason) and my pressure has gone high 140-150. I thought it was the wellbutrin but going off hasn't helped.

You're diabetic WHY aren't you on statins and ace inhibitors. Ace inhibitors save kidneys! (said in an affronted tone like he'd like to throw down with my endocrinologist)

Did you NOT hear me? I have had low blood pressure. If you put me on an ace inhibitor I'd pass out. (We are trying one now because he wouldn't shut up and my pressure has been high)

You need to be on a statin. No, my family doesn't tolerate them. I've tried. muscle pain, fuck that. I'd rather try adjusting my diet/exercise. He scoffs you're at 110. So? Well the NEW number is 70. (Don't get me started on the fact that the only ones doing drug research are pharm companies with a vested interest in lower numbers to sell more pills).

Finally he stops harping on my other doctors and my unwillingness to try a battery of new meds (one, dude, let's start with one) and decided I need an echocardiogram. Agreed. Your last one was 2017 (said in a tone that said he was shocked I had one because he hasn't been fucking listening to me about the tachycardia, low pressure and heart zoomies in the middle of the night) and I'm like really and holy hell how is that nearly a decade ago and not last year?

You need to take your blood pressure 3 times a day and we'll give you a log.

And you need to be on a Holter monitor which is what I was hoping for. He fucks off to go be a ray of sunshine with someone else and the nurse comes in with the Holter monitor and tells me I need to return in two months (which I bargain down to about 6 weeks because I'll be traveling by then). I'm used to Holter monitors being 72 hours. Not this time. 1 month. ONE month! 'it gives us more info' True. 'if nothing is happening we'll call you in 2 weeks and you can take it off then but if something is wrong' Sounds great.

She shows me two placements (straight between the boobs, across the left boob) she goes left and now the fucking monitor jabs me in the tit every time I move my left arm. I don't have enough glue pads to take it off just yet. Also it has its own little phone that records and sends it to the hospital too but now I have to carry my phone, this phone AND the dexcom reader. I need a wee purse for all this crap.

So once all this is done and if it finds anything seriously wrong (according to him my heart beat was irregular via ascultation) I will find someone else. I can not imagine staying in this dude's care. And that is something I highly encourage everyone to do. If you can (not everyone can) if you don't like your doc get a second opinion. There is never a need to stay with someone you don't like (within reason like my insurance, I don't know if it'll pay for Marshal U's docs in WV but I am going to look into it. I have found teaching hospital doctors to be a bit nicer).

And what a first day of spring it's been. It's 75 degrees. I went to my first book club meeting at the new bookstore (run by one of my former students) where I got them interested in my book, These Haunted Hills and it was a fun book club where we only had to read 'a green book' and talk about it. Next month is an assigned book. To be honest I don't really go to book groups because I rarely like the genres we read. We'll see how this goes. I did find out a major mystery writer I like will be there in May. Yay.

And I really really need to read the specs on fan merch I buy. I always don't do that and I always get surprised often in a bad way (like my itty bitty husk/angel things) However this time the surprise is in a good way. I got the Valentine's day cards for Hazbin because I liked the art. I thought I was getting a few art cards. I got a damn box of stationary. Wow.


And holy hell episode 8 of The Amazing Digital Circus dropped tonight. It was amazing. It's up there in second place for me. I'll have to watch it again and I'll have more thoughts about it later.

Today also saw the passing of Chuck Norris and Nicholas Brendan who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In watching Buffy recently I realize I dislike Xander even more now than I did back then. That said, I am sorry that Nicholas passed so relatively young.

And I got some writing done plus I have a new open call for you this weekend, another one with big name anchors and pro pay about were creatures. I was spitballing ideas with evil little dog tonight. We'll see what happens.

I went back to Prodigal Son this week for my story

So the winds are over 60 mph and my parents' shingles are in the yard. Needless to say Dad is pissed. This is a 50 year roof (about 20 years in) but the tar proved to be dried out and this wind took the whole of the roof from what we can tell.

Naturally my 83 y.o. father decides he must go on the roof to try to stop this. He doesn't want help. I'm like fine. And when you blow off....

He didn't. Blow off the roof nor stop the zipper effect. You can still hear the nails pulling free even after 5 hours every time the wind picks back up. At first it was just 5 shingles. By dark it was 3 dozen. Better hope it doesn't begin to rain before an insurance adjuster gets out here. Two hours on hold with the insurance company waiting for someone pick up ended with the call disconnecting at their end.


Before that we had spent the afternoon with my favorite cousin my dad's age in her senior living center. That was very nice. We barely made it home before the wind.

I tried to figure out if my insurance pays for jardiance and dexcom but now it's decided my password isn't my password and any attempt to get it to email me a password reset has failed.

And I called my endocrinologist this morning to see if I could come 30 minutes late (because she's always an h our late anyhow) they were going to call me back. Never did. the problem? They put the appoint on the only day I can't be there without canceling work. And I could have sworn it was monday. It was SUPPOSED to be monday.


I was researching something for a Hazbin Hotel story (not the one below) and I needed to see who was the first woman newscaster in America. The answer was Dorothy Fuldheim in 1947 which is way before I imagined. (Mostly I was double checking to see if Vox could have had a female co anchor in the time period S2 depicted)

I thought she was interesting so have DOrothy's history for Women's History month. You can read about her
here.


So for the fannish 50 part of this, here's my story and my recs

The day started with a nightmare. I dreamed I was in my dad's workshop in his basement screaming at him that no one liked him and he was crying. Mom was yelling at me why did you do this and I said he was hitting my SiL and I lost it (to be clear he would never do that).

I go to work shocked everyone actually showed up except a few trapped by flooding (ah spring). It was going well...and then I got two emails (I wasn't even going to look at them but I needed to get any late submissions of work due today) about more cheating. And it IS more, in a different class. One has only heard about the girls bragging about it and doesn't want in trouble and the other came to speak to me since she was on campus and she said the same thing they're bragging about it. She doesn't know the student's name but from her description I know exactly who it is (another athlete)

Since I didn't catch them and there's no proof, I can't kick it up the chain. I DID tell the dean and I plan on talking to the heads of their departments to get some help. Not saying a word to them, just making them all put their phones in a box. They get them back at the end of the exam. No warning. Let's see what happens then. And other one hasn't been to lab...ever. Just has excuses and asks to make them up. Guess that's going away.

So now I'm an hour late getting home. Then the GI track says yeah you ain't leaving the bathroom. Once that fit was pitched I started getting ready and my sugar crashes out. Eye roll. Rocket tried to get in the bedroom and hide. FINALLY I'm out of the house. It's now after 230 and I haven't had lunch.

I have to go to Jackson to get a book from the library before it's sent back so I'll go to Sonic's. Get there. It's 240 and there are NINE cars in line. I nope out, stop for KFC and then go to Tim Horton's, the new one and this is the third time the guys on the window can't figure out a drink order (caramel machiatto, it's your standard fing menu) so I might be done with this place.

In the mean time the gas station's are changing their prices by 50 cents so I get my library book, race back across town to where they haven't got that message yet. Off I go. It's now 3 pm. I was supposed to BE here by now.

Luckily it was an easy drive and this Best Western has been recently redone. It's nice, clean...and the bathroom is an afterthought. You come in the door and immediately is a curtain pretending an alcove is the closet (at least there's a half dozen hangers not that I need them for 1 day) and the bathroom is SO small the toilet and tub nearly touch and the sink is in another part of the room outside the bathroom door.... BUT it has a fridge and microwave which the last two expensive hotels I've stayed at did not manage to have.

Everyone and their grandma is in the pool. Glad I didn't plan on that but this place is...well let's just say I love living in the country but I DO miss having options. I had researched, as I always do, best places to eat and planned to go to Dolsot Bistro as there is NO Korean food within 60 miles of me. I get to the strip mall and in it side by side is Korean, Chinese, Boba place, Indian place, juice joint and Phoenican/middle east food and a huge stand alone Mexican place. WOW. AND in the 2 miles from my hotel to hear it was nothing but food and strip malls including three other Korean places and a Greek place right across the street.

I got some goonmandu (fried dumplings that were amazing) and tofu doenjang dolsot (fine cut tofu, basically a sweetish red miso, veggies and a lightly fried egg on the rice. man crispy rice is a different, tastier experience (yes I'm not meant to have rice but...this is once in like 2 years for me as far as Korean food goes). Also they had a sliver of their pancakes on the kimchi tray and man I wish that app wasn't the price of dinner or I'd gotten that. It was amazing.

In theory I get breakfast free here and they have the daily specials written out. Every day is the same thing....ha. If it sucks we share a parking lot with the Waffle House.

And if something goes sideways with the festival I'll just drop down to Cincinnati and do fun stuff.


I did write something.

Five years ago today I fell. I nearly lost my leg. I was in the hospital/care home for months. It was horrible. Care homes are awful. It seemed like I'd be there forever. But there was still hope.

I taught my classes online from my bed. I helped interview for a new professor from that same bed.

And I had THIS community. You made that time better by checking in with me. You sent me gifts. You sent me stories. The Prodigal Son community made this most amazing art out of one of my stories and I took it back and forth to the hospital every time I had to return for more surgeries because I was afraid the care home would lose it and it was precious to me (It's in my office on top of the file cabinet today).

I'm not sure you know how much you meant to me as I learned to walk again. As I went through all this pain (If you want a visual, go look at the pictures Lindsey Vonn has been posting of her leg and external fixator, my leg looked exactly like that). And I feel sad that one of my biggest supporters, [personal profile] spikedluv isn't here to read this. But so many others did so much and more, especially [personal profile] evil_little_dog. It meant everything and I appreciate all of you. Thank you.

I'm doing good. I hike when I can. I'm not in terrible pain for the most part but the leg is weak and the nerve pain I do have is not fun. But I'm here. This is not stopping me.

And today I realized that not only is it a bad day for me two of my favorite celebrities died on the 27th, Leonard Nimoy and Mister Rogers.

In better news...

Tried the new coffee shop in Point Pleasant. this one isn't near the mothman centric stuff. There is one there that I go to that is...okay. I'd love to say let me watch your shop for a weekend and you go to a coffee conference because even McDonalds gets more adventuresome than you. This one had a great menu but too many cold drinks (especially for winter) I liked it but it's out of the way. A student found me there. figures.

AND the on-campus Mennonite coffee shop has mushroom coffee. I was afraid to know how much it was and they named the mixed drink with it the muddy puddle....


Came home to the news of someone I went to school with losing everything when some monster burned ALL of his beehives (he makes his living with the wax/honey etc), 60 hives, tens of thousands of bees, all gone. People suck.

Sigh.


But I did write and since I'm not ready for it to be on AO3 as it's part of a longer work, I'm just putting it here. Wrote it for [personal profile] spikesgirl58's 6 word challenge.

And here are the fannish recs. Nothing from me. I've been stuck on my Hazbin WIP and finally edited a chapter that's been sitting on my to-do stuff and it's been a chapter I posted over a month ago...fantastic.

I'm also trying to decide if I start a new novel or combine it with an idea I already have.

All I did today was fail at the things I wanted to do so let's just do the fannish 50 recs. I did finish a story and I will bbl to share it because it's on my flash in another room and I will get up later to get it.

Oh one other thing, I want to use my 3 day weekend to catch up on like months of comments I owe. I have not been a great friend.

Title: Love Potion.

Summary: Angel’s on the job and to his shock a tremendously drunk and depressed Husk is in the audience. Worse, someone has one of Velvette’s love potions and Angel will be damned harder if he’s going to let some fool use that on his friend.

Rating: teen

Notes:Written for sarajayechan in three sentence ficathon for the prompt Hazbin Hotel, Angel/Husk, he knows what date rape drugs look like and he'll be damned if he lets some rando drug a depressed Husk
Also written for Huskerdust week 2026 for the prompt of inhibition/exhibition as well as for the allbingo prompt of ethical sluts and spikesgirl58’s 6 word challenge. The six words are Alluring, Trashy, Adhesive, Vague, Caterwaul & Uncle

The eye barely hurts and the swelling is down enough that I can open my eye. It's blurry still but getting better.

I will NOT be doing [community profile] fandomtrumpshate this year. I missed that the sign up was basically 10 days, no other warning after the first and I was too busy with my pro stuff but you know what I am okay with that. I can bid on people to help out and that is one less fan thing to distract me from stuff I get paid to do. I feel more relief than disappointment.

In the good news department The Owl House lives again in graphic novel form. I'm super excited for this




Here's the fandom meme I've been wanting to do. I got this from [Unknown site tag] who mentioned there are two versions of this meme: one where you post the FIRST line/s of the FIRST posted fic of each month and one where you post the FIRST line/s of ALL the fics you've posted in a year. While I am making this a fannish 50 celebrating ME and my contributions to fandom (which I think we all should do from time to time) But since I will be here til next week trying to do ALL my stories, I shall go with the first story. Enjoy. Read if you're so moved.

January - Why Do Fools Fall in Love Hazbin Hotel, Angel adored the flying pole Husker had installed on his stage.

February Where Fashion Sits Hazbin Hotel, There’s more to her than anyone thinks but, in most ways, being underestimated suits Velvette just fine. (ha this is one of my [community profile] halfamoon stories from last year


March Sisterhood Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The thing about being a Watcher was Dawn never knew what would come next.

April Ephemeral Hazbin Hotel, Angel heard them ‘whispering’.


May Never Hazbin Hotel, “Are you really sure you wanna know, sweets?” Angel drawled to Charlie, as he squirmed in his seat next to Husk on the couch.


June Somebody’s Eyes The Owl House Edalyn folded up the door into its briefcase.


July Tear Up This Town Hazbin Hotel, He should have known it would end like this.


August Hurt So Good Hazbin Hotel, Angel stretched his legs out in front of him on his bar stool. NSFW


September Pushing Up the Ante Hazbin Hotel, This was supposed to be a friendly game of poker, something he’d tossed out there without thinking it through at the last overlord meeting.


October The Porn Star Murders Hazbin Hotel, “Thank you for calling me.” Rosie’s flat tone sent a shiver up Angel’s spine.


November Someone in the Dark Hazbin Hotel, Husk leaned on the bar, pain lancing through his back.


December Forget Our Memories, Forget Our Possibilities Hazbin Hotel, Dear Husk,
I’m sorry for everything.



Now back to watching my mystery still wishing that John Bacchus would disappear. Today he brings misogyny, islamaphobia and racism. Whee. (the saving grace is Gently takes it out of him every time he does this and I've been told he gets better. Hope that is soon)

I woke to zero no snow. It was due in at 2 AM. It starts instead exactly at 930 but friday is now a half day for me. I leave at noon. In those 2 1/2 hours it had snowed about 3-4 more inches. I can't see the road in town. Worse, I can't see it on the major highway but traffic is moving...until 1 1/2 miles from my place. Ahead of me I see two 18 wheelers skid, jack knife and bump into each other. I pump the brakes and naturally I'm not stopping. Worse, the 18 wheeler next to me also can't stop and he begins to jack knife. Luckily I DO stop without hitting anyone or skidding out. The 18 wheeler stops without taking me out.

No one behind me hits me. I'm like well a) glad I wasn't crammed and hopefully that stays that way b) I'm gonna be here forever c) I forgot my ereader. I call my parents to have something to do and then realize after dad says 'go grade something.' oh right I DID bring 6 folders of grading to do. that kept me busy for the next hour and 10 minutes. The truck drivers came back to be sure we were all okay. So no one was hurt. the big tow trucks come and the road is opened on one side and immediately the chucklefuck in the pick up behind me starts BLARING his horn at us. Dude, the cop is still in the road. When he says we can go we will.

I finished that vampire story about 800 words over. I might leave it that way because they said they'll read a little over and that's not that much.

I wrote something for [community profile] halfamoon Here you go

Title: Bad Girl Gone Good

Summary: Cherri finds herself doing things she never imagined herself doing like writing letters and thinking about changing her ways.

As I said, I canceled school today and went down to the library to get books/return same, cashed in my Mexican restaurant freebie (another free soda, luckily it could be tea) and had my mammogram. The tech was the first grad from the program back in 2003 and I mentioned teaching them and she gave me things to think about that I hadn't. Like how could I forget they do enemas of barium? Or that I personally have used them IN surgery? I want them to know it's more than taking x-rays and this is WHY they need to know anatomy.

My psychiatry visit was virtual and I guess I'll be needing a new one. I like her and she swears she's staying with the hospital system but her husband had to relocate to FL and all our visits have to be virtual. Yeah like she's really going to stay. Ah well

It was a good day. I actually slept 6 straight hours without waking up. People were in lab and engaged. I bounced early and thought well it's still sunny, let me do the laundry today (I do it on the weekend) and then go to Jackson for gas/food things I don't have, don't need, but want.

I have big heavy clothes so I need all three washers including the hated front loader. I plug in my quarters and go to turn it on cool water instead of blazing hot and...someone has broken off the temperature control knob. Well that's fun.

Put quarters in the big heavy sheets one and realize...it says out of order in small letters on the screen. Won't give me back my quarters and I REALLY want the sheets clean if the power goes out this weekend. Now I'm yanking stuff from the middle washer before it gets wet and shove the sheets in.

Go to the car to run to Jackson while this washes. My battery dies. I'm praying it's the battery (AGAIN) and not my alternator. Call AAA. It'll be at least an hour (well at least now I can finish laundry before leaving. Call Dad to wish him a happy birthday and tell him I'm stranded in the RV park's back alley (AGAIN. My battery has died back here before). He arrives an hour later and he has the big wrecker that could haul three cars. I feel bad as he has to back it out.

I race my dead-battery to Auto Zone and the guy looks at me we can't replace them in a honda CR-V. What? You have before. What year is it 2015. Oh, yeah we CAN do that. Over 2018 we can't because if you make one mistake which is too easy to do and the computer dies. I have never heard of this and resolve to ask Dad who obsesses over cars and he has a CR-V too (he had never heard of it and is now on a mission to find out) Frick and Frack might just be incompetent because he couldn't even get the housing off my battery and needs to get his coworker. He manages it. The terminal cover snaps off. he drops the battery in sideways, barely gets it back out. I drive off 230$ poorer just happy they didn't destroy my car (try Advanced Auto next time. Also they couldn't find me in the system. I've been there so many times....)

Kroger's of course is a nightmare. And the assholes in Jackson jumped the gas price over 30 cents since the day before (should have got that at work where they haven't) I get all kinds of things I can eat cold if the power goes out. That'll be tomorrow morning's excitement. I go to the library to get the book that was on hold.

I get home and my computer is off. Did I already once?!? Nothing else is blinking but firefox and edge both say thanks for updating so I think an update was forced.

I bought myself Archway Ginger snaps as a treat. They one of the few processed cookies I actually like. I now have a tons of salami, PB&J, and hard boiled eggs plus apples. I will have food.

Saying a little prayer for everyone's power.

But there was one good thing today beside Dad liking the gift I gave him. It's also my book birthday. Check it o ut!!

When it looked like we weren't getting the snow they said I packed up and went to Point Pleasant to bum around. I will admit the coffee grinders coffee house isn't my favorite (and dudes DO NOT put the coffee of the day at some side table. Put that near the register. I totally wouldn't have bought that) got writing done. At this point Capitol One's bot texts me again about Best Buy trying to get payment for their protection membership pushed thru (this is 200$, I don't want it and this will become important)

I go to the Mason Jar antique store/country store/shit shop and I find the best thing ever. Star Trek salt and pepper shaker. I don't even haggle over the price. I ALMOST did for two other items (I am not good at this mind you) One was a pressed glass pitcher and two goblets of BLACK glass and the uranium glass juicer (both were 35$ each. Both remained in the store).



I spotted a blue glass horse bookend and thought [personal profile] evil_little_dog will marry me if I get her that for her birthday. I swoop over. It's 60$ for one book end. They don't have the other. I decided I didn't really wanna marry ELD anyhow.

I waltz down the street (with my ST shakers) to the Point Pleasant Trading Company which specializing in cryptid shit. (btw cryptids are absolutely saving PP from oblivion. there were tourists everywhere. In Jan. In the cold.) They had absolutely gorgeous Mothman/Flatbush Monster/Loveland Frogman/Big Foot t-shirts. I don't need a 35$ t-shirt(the number of the day is 35) They had an amazing cardigan with mothman and the silver bridge. No Dana you DO NOT need a 60$ cardigan. But it's in my size. NO. Bad Dana. And the upstairs was rocking. they've added sound to the Black Light Mothman Experience Indoor Mini Golf (Why will NO ONE play with me? WHY)

I bought nothing there and crossed the river back into Oh and headed to Remo's this absolutely terrifying local treasure of a hot dog stand inside a (collapsing) house. Got lunch. (because I forgot my freebie thing for the Mexican place) Went to the library to get more books for popsugar because I can absolutely read this many at once, right? (ha) I did not go to the Lego exhibit they have right now. It opened this week and had 20000000 kids in it (well it felt like it at any rate)

Went to the boba hut. My credit card is declined. Naturally. Because I'm going to Aldi's next. I know why. Remember that Best Buy thing? Yeah so Capitol One decides OMG red alert (in spite of me telling them it's fine two days ago when I THOUGHT I had canceled that membership). They texted me we'll close this card and send you a new one. I'm now steaming. At least I have another card.

I hit Aldi's. Get cheese I don't need. I don't even remember which ones. Got some frozen things I don't need (like I needed cheese) go home with my boba. I'm a mile from home when one bursting boba wings up that straw at mach 1 and straight into my vocal cords and pops. Mango liquid shoots down my bronchial tubes and like any good asthmatic tube, they immediately clench up and fill with mucus. By the time I park, I'm crackling and wheezing like I've pneumonia and in need of a trach. every time I cough I taste mango. How much fluid was in one tiny boba?

I get inside, deal with Best Buy and this time it went thru because I got the survey of sadness. Why did you leave us? I call up Capitol One and I'm coming in hot now. We'll close this card. No chucklefuck you won't. I explain 4 times what happened, told them every charge that should be on that card this week. Those aren't fraudulent? NO. In theory I can use this card again. If I can't heads will be on pikes.


And [community profile] fandomtrees released. Let me share my cool gifts plus all the ones I wrote (I get the feeling the other Hazbin folk either aren't Huskerdust shipper or saw I had 3 fills and moved on because only one person took up on my HH prompts and did two (including my new icon)

cornerofmadness: (Default)
So going by the older calendar this week was actually New Years for Wales and we had a party. I was...disappointed not in the event but over the fact that I was literally the ONLY faculty member to show up. At least I was well received. For that matter neither did any of our students. The only rep my school had was the Welsh liasion, two of our success coaches, the choir director, me and two faculty from Buckeye Hills (does the more certificate type jobs). Got to mess about the with mari lywd and then got roped into the twmpath dances. It's a lot like square dancing. My knee was going What the Actual Fuck Dana? We're only a month from the 5 year anniversary of being broken. You wanna revisit that? Stop jumping around one m.

Nope, knee, suck it up. Dance baby dance. Are we good? fuck no. Was it fun? Yes. I also got to make a little puppet mari lwyd. Why? because NO ONE brought their kids. If there wasn't the 20 Welsh students here on tour (your parents let you come to America?!?) there would be just like 6 of us. I wish it had been better attended but it was fun.




Now I FINALLY got my lab fixed. Registrar is like you never sent the paperwork. Oh really? Found it, the email it was in etc etc. Yeah I did. Eye roll

I have a story for today. It'll be chapter one of a long fix-it (or maybe more correctly S3 speculation). I'm only posting it here because it's not quite ready to go to AO3 mostly because I have one WIP right now and I don't want two right now. It's pretty much where I want it to be though.

Title: I Need to Go Home (And Salvage What's Left of My Soul)

Summary: Angel has thrown himself to the wolves and refuses to go back to the hell, sinking deeper into addiction and hell with Valentino. Husk and the others will not let him be destroyed there. They will get him home and they have from an unexpected source.

Rating: teen

Notes:Written for Spikesgirl58’s 6 words and the six words were Skillful, Answer, Decide, Extra- small, Plucky, & Husheda and for the allbingo prompt of Madam Satan and the lyrical titles bingo prompt of Chart Topper. I chose Lost All Control by Seether.

So I mentioned the power was out sometime over the holiday and my freezer was full of frost. It must have been out longer than I thought because poking around I saw all the ice cream had melted everywhere but that's not the weird part.

No, apparently it was off so long that whatever blockage between the freezer and fridge melted (in spite of me having the fridge off all day once already) because the fridge is ICE cold (I had it on the highest setting just to get it to be slightly cool) I'm like what? What?!? How did you come back to life? It's still a mess but I'm going to let it limp along for now.

I found a manager special half off tray of devil's eggs (24 of them). I have never seen this before. NO ONE has seen this because all the cashiers and baggers were running over to see it. I wonder if this had been a special order that wasn't picked up. Either of way I'm gonna eat them all up.


I was halfway through making the new homework for the first week of the class but suddenly 50 questions into 90 of them (I pick and choose from the 90s to make the homework) the power fails. No reason. No high winds, no big storm. Just boom no power. Lose everything.

And I had just got the phone system working but then bang, the power goes out and the phone with it. Naturally the cell phone says 'no cellular connections.' ARGH


At least I got writing done but when the power went out at least I had handwritten back up for what hadn't autosaved


As horrible as the last week has been for America and the world in general I find myself in an awkward position of arranging the work conference and planning a vacation in spite of being afraid to literally go anywhere even within my own state let alone elsewhere. I can't be alone in this terrible feeling.

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.

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?
