 Feel free to skip. There will not be a quiz, and I expect the pain and other difficulties to pass in due course, as it generally has before. I'm just venting.

So before I vent, one BIG REQUEST:  
I'm asking you all to refrain from trying to "solve" my pain meds situation.
As such things go, it is not anywhere near the top of my list of things that want solving.

There is only one durian custard cake left. Hmpf. Should have gotten more. Might need to do something about that.

I'm late posting this because I took a little time for reading, and fell into the story and forgot about time. Since it's beta reading, that's a very good sign that the writer's doing things that work. This is a story by Celia Lake. Have any of you read any of her things? I love them very much.

The first thing I did today was unsnarled a minor bureaucratic situation, which involved talking to people by phone twice, with a brief break in between in order to set up an account with FedEx, which I was told to do by the situation-unsnarlers. These things may sound like small things, but for a person with ADHD, fibromyalgia brainfog, anxiety, and also PTSD, stuff like this can loom over one enough to totally freeze a person. So getting through that fairly easily, first thing, is a huge wiktory.

Also I got a few new things photographed and into the Etsy shop, and other things have been marked down. (Still so much slower getting things into the shop that I hoped, but something is better than nothing.)

Now if my silly body would let up with the mildly ominous pain, I could go merrily on with the regular pain. the stuff I am used to. Oy, bodies.

Today's perfume is Nocturne Alchemy's Ra's Amber Sandalwood, which is good in a fairly straightforward "does what it says on the tin" way.

Have you fallen into a story lately and lost track of outside things? Are there authors whose work you are tremendously fond of these days?

Birthday Month Day 10 is lost because back pain absconded with it.

Hmpf.
