Testing, testing

I had an annual physical yesterday for the first time in eight years. It went okay, as far as I know. They took my height and weight, did some basic checks on my limb strength, took my blood pressure and asked me some questions, took some blood (and told me if everything is fine I wouldn't hear back from them), and told me that I should probably go to a dermatologist to get it checked out. Later on [instagram.com profile] sashagee and I went out on a walk to go thrifting briefly, and then went home. Laila is out at the grandparents right now so we have a bit of time.

Unfortunately, [instagram.com profile] sashagee did not receive similar good news on her testing. She went to her routine thyroid testing and her results were extremely high T4 and extremely low TSH, meaning she'll need another medicine adjustment. It also explains why she's been so tired lately and probably why she's not sleeping well. That's what happens with a thyroid disease, you just keep needing medicine adjustments over and over and over and over basically forever, but it's kind of disheartening that it's been four years and she's still this far off. Hopefully the next adjustment is closer.

Untitled Fix-It Comic by [tumblr.com profile] yeehawpim
Fandom: Panfandom, Doctor Who, Avengers, Sherlock
Medium: Comic
Length: 6 pages
Rating: SFW
My Bookmark Tags: drama, happy ending, au: canon divergence, writing

Description:
A black-and-white cartoon comic follows its creator from their teenage years reading fic in a classroom, through glimpses of canon moments from Doctor Who, The Avengers, and Sherlock, to the experiences of other fans and back to the now-older creator as they muse on their changing opinion of fix-it fic.

Transcript of Comic Text )

Yeah, this got me. I'm a sucker for a good fix-it fic, and it's a storytelling impulse that I feel warmly about in general. I've especially been thinking about this topic lately—and some of the related canon moments—thanks to a bit that hit home in [youtube.com profile] JessieGender1's recent Star Trek Strange New Worlds Is a Centrist Space Fantasy video essay that talked about the storytelling worldviews in which change requires a body count and about the narrative incorporation of ungrievable lives. (Two recs for the price of one in this post!)

This comic is sweet and touching, with great pacing and choice of visuals. I especially love the spot where we see darkness giving way to light and the shots of people writing. It gave me some fuzzy feelings about fandom and encouraged me to open back up a fix-it draft of my own.

Did some work

Despite the face that due to the heat being on all the time, it's hotter than hell in here. I got some stuff done.

Got up at 10 and had breakfast and coffee. Then I swept and mopped the living room floor. I only had Pine Sol to use so I shut Oreo in the bedroom til it was dry, because that stuff is poisonous.

I ordered Middle Brother's Star Wars calendar from Barnes and Noble. More expensive than Amazon, and shipping costs, but I didn't use the Evil Empire.

I managed to get the kitchen window and one of the living room windows open a small distance so it's a little cooler in here. I can't open them wide cause I have no screens in the windows to keep Oreo from getting out. But this is better than nothing.

Then I took the plastic recycling out and, despite that it was raining, walked around the block.

After that I was done, and I just killed time, having the leftover chicken I brought home from [personal profile] mashfanficchick's, and puttering on the computer, til it was 7:00 and time to Team the FWiB. There were technical difficulties from both his end and mine, so it took us a long time to connect, but finally we did.

Then at 8:00 I tried to Zoom my Al-anon meeting. Again, serious technical issues, I turned over the meeting to S to run cause I kept either freezing up or getting kicked out of Zoom. It was a pretty good meeting though, But M wasn't there.

Then I had a little bit to eat, and went into the bedroom and lay down. I called the Kid and she actually answered. She is going to call on Thanksgiving when she is ready to go to the diner and wew will leave then, so we shouldn't have to wait there.

At 10:00 I got up and fed the pets, Christie ate, which makes me very happy. Then I cleaned the kitty litter pan, but obviously didn't take the dirty litter out yet. I'll do that just before I go to get Middle Brother tomorrow.

Then I started here. And that's all.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Clean living room floor.

3. Open windows making it cooler.

4. My meetings and the people there, particularly S.

5. My box fan and the little fan in the bedroom.

6. Almost Thanksgiving.
