Give me a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll tell you how they survived the zombie apocalypse. If, indeed, they did survive.

Well, work today went alright. I did have a short span of time around the middle where I felt like I'd been walking for a week but it passed. I didn't get as much done as I hoped I would but I did get more done than I worried I would. Gonna call that a win. I'm still not sure it was the right idea to go in but I can at least say I don't regret doing so.

I was struck just recently with the urge to move my bedroom furniture around. I, uh. I don't think I'll be tackling that project this weekend, lol. I want to focus on resting up and recuperating. But I will be going out to do Free Comic Book Day-- and also Comics Giveaway Day, since that's a thing now. Anyone else hear about that? Trademark law is weird. Anyway, aside from that, I'll be keeping any physical tasks to a minimum. Dunno if I want to commit to reading in a big way, considering how my brain's been fogging with the fatigue, but maybe I'll get some crochet finished.

How about you guys, what have you got coming up?

The irises in one flower bed have decided to bloom a full month early!

I love the color these ones are (the photo doesn't quite capture how they look - the top petals are an intense almost electric purple in person - similar to HEX #8400E0) and how fragrant they are!

cornerofmadness

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 was sitting here Thursday night when the phone rang, and I answered, even though I didn't recognize the number. It was Dr. Chandran who called to see how I was and to tell me what to expect tomorrow. He asked if I had questions after he described the procedure. He said it will be 3-4 days for results from the biopsy. And he is the one who calls with results. He was a very nice doctor.

Friday the 1st of May

Procedure day.
Started out sort of rough. I was a little nervous and my blood pressure was 240/164. They had to get it down. I did deep breathing exercises until I was finally down to 140/65. Just in time for procedure. 😁

When I woke up, had a sore throat but nothing too bad. The doctor came in and said it was cancer. They caught it very early. I have to see Oncologist. My doctor thinks they can zap it with radiation and that should do it. So, I was happy to hear that. Next procedure is the Pet Scan.

So, I'm glad I had this darn thing.

I'm not saying I'm glad to have cancer, I'm saying I'm glad it's not stage 4. I consider myself very lucky. Thank you everyone for good thoughts, hugs, and prayers.

Yesterday on a lovely walk through then neighborhood I reached the end of The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso. This is fantasy/action novel, set in a world in “prime” reality, beneath which sits ever-descending “echo” layers of reality. The further down you go, the stranger and more dangerous things get. At a New Year’s party, things get unexpectedly tricky when the entire party is pulled down through the echoes.

Our protagonist is Kembral Thorne, a “hound” whose job is to retrieve people, animals, and other things that are pulled or “fall” into the echoes. This party is Kem’s first step back into society after having her first baby two months earlier.

Of course, when things start going wrong, Kem can’t help but get involved. It’s her job.

I’ll say again, I do love queer lit with adults. YA is great and I’m so happy that teens today have access to so much queer lit, but online queer book recs can skew very YA. Here, Kem is very much someone at least in her thirties—she’s got a baby, she’s reached a senior role in her career, and her concerns reflect this position in her life. While she and her quasi-rival Rika have the sort of skittish interactions you might expect from people who are into each other and unwilling to admit they are into each other, they don’t reach the level of comic avoidance or overwrought drama of teens or young adults.

I liked the ebb and flow of Kem and Rika’s relationship. These are two people who already have history and have kind of already had their big, relationship-ending squabble before we even get to this party, which is fun to unravel over the course of the evening. They have some cute moments, some artificially-amplified angst, but are generally enjoyable.

The worldbuilding here is fine. It’s serviceable for what the novel is doing, but we don’t really get a look at much else outside of the party except when Kem ventures out into the echoes, which becomes increasingly less frequent as they descend. There’s some fun stuff, some spooky stuff, some aesthetic stuff.

The book pushes a little hard on maintaining the status quo when the status quo isn’t that great (I think it could have made this more believable with more discussion, but the book is really more about the action than the political debate) and I did think one character’s fate was a cop-out, especially given the former. Violent change to the system is wrong but we’ll all shrug and smile when this criminal we couldn’t nail down conveniently dies without a trial.

On the whole, I enjoyed this one, but it’s nothing earth-shattering. I put the next book on my TBR though because I do want to see what Rika and Kem get up to next.

How'd we get through April so fast?! I feel like I didn't have time to write anything! (Other than drabbles lol)

Last month's goals are here.

Let's see how I did...

So there you have it. Wishing everyone else good luck with all your own creative endeavors this month!

Intro/FAQ

Tally for April 16-30 is now updated; please check to make sure I have it correct!

My check-in: Rabbit rabbit! I dunno, y'all. I'm between projects and struggling to find things I even want to add an alibi sentence to. ~~No writing yet today, but after I post I'm going to look for something iddyful to play with and see if that helps. Further bulletins as events warrant.~~

ETA: sat down and wrote a long email brainstorming story ideas to one of my charity auction winners. Shocker, but it turns out that writing down my ideas greases my imagination more than just trying to randomly think up some ideas. (I say "shocker": I've known for a while that a lot of my writing problems solves themselves in the writing of them, not by sitting around trying to think my way out of them!)

Well. I need prayers again. I fell going into the doctor's office this morning. And broke my arm. Now I'm going to be off work again. And hoping my short-term disability comes through fast. Because the situation is not good. I now must dictate everything into the computer and then cut and paste it because I can't type. So much bad luck lately.

I'm in a lot of pain because I also hurt my back ribs and knee. I don't know if they're broken. The doctor only sent me for X-rays for the arm. I don't know how bad it is yet because I saw the results in My Chart online, but no doctor has reviewed it yet. I'm in a lot of trouble here. So, I need lots of prayers. Thank you.

I guess Miami Vice is going to be distracting me again. It's the only thing that can help. I'm not sure how I'm going to sleep, I guess in the recliner for a while. I have no idea how I'm going to take care of the daily household stuff with only one hand. And stiff and sore. It happened on a Friday too, so I probably won't be able to talk to anyone until Monday.

The illustrator for the late 90s/early 2000s US Random House covers for Tamora Pierce's Tortall quartets has prints available for most* of her covers!

*(The original painting First Test's cover was sold years ago and she hasn't had luck tracking it down to scan, but she might try to reproduce it at some point)

I just feel like talking about my current ship preferences.

I'm not quite done with evermaiden but Macaw/Pavone...please...

Flowers series I will mention but Chidori/Erika is still my OTP. I love all the ships but Erika is my favorite character, so that makes things kind of simple for ranking lol. Nerine/Yuzuriha having a drama CD about their marriage upcoming though is so fire though?

( Lady in Mystery )

( neon clash )

Paradise - noting just to note because I think it's obvious from other posts, but Azuma/Mitsugi is so good in Paradise, it is my ship of that game for sure, I love Mitsugi so much and he is the perfect mix of blunt and my pace and awkward, and honestly that's good for Azuma.

( Slow Damage )

( Togainu no Chi )

( Tokyo 24ku )

twilight aqua city - I don't know at this point. I think maybe Hozumi after all even though I wasn't really a fan of his route. Or Yae. I'm pretty cooled off on this game overall at this point.

Thinking about what I love about Dreamwidth, verbs occurred to me. That is, first one, and then more, action words that most characterize this specific kind of sharing and community for me (and, I hope, for you) bubbled up. And the more I thought about them, the more I realized their weight and valence.

Blogging. Conversing. Journaling. Discussing. Connecting. Replying. Catching up. Curating. Commenting. Reading and writing...

Okay, so this week's drama accidentally continued?

Tuesday: went to the doctor and maybe cried at him a bit because I am so tired. I'll go into the whole thing in another post because my note in the appointment request were verbatim "Med review and mental health getting worse, yay" and you can skip it. Short version: I'm doing all of the reasonable things I could be doing to not be crazy, and he's sending me for the MOT of blood tests to see if there's anything physically wrong.

Wednesday: jesus christ.
- Library that was closed due raw sewage shorting the system re-opens!

Found the one (1) phlebotomist who has ever heard me say "Fair warning, the last guy needed a butterfly needle to get anything out of me" and not taken it as a challenge. Like, checked my arms, asked me to pick one, boom, needle in and vials full. First try, all of maybe thirty seconds. What a queen.

I made the joke about it being an MOT of blood tests, and the phlebotomist joked back about if I was getting them every year, and uhhhhh yes I am actually! Pretty sure the doc sent me for a blood test this time last year as well!

Realised that you can get watches that will monitor your sleep for you and went "... Fuck. Maybe I do have to do this." If only to rule out the issue being that I'm sleeping for twelve hours and only actually getting an hour of rest.

So yeah, mildly eventful week!
