EXCHANGE INTERFACE

I don't know why it's so, it just is.

Woke up at midnight, 2:30am, 4am, and 6:30am last night. And that was with painkillers.

Tonight, without painkillers, it's mostly a dull ache, which is probably contributing to the tension in my muscles and the headaches I'm having. This, too, should pass, but it's a PITA while waiting for it to go.

I'm kind of feeling the implant now, a slight ache in my upper jaw, a slight swelling in my cheek. According to the intarwebs, it can take up to 2 weeks to ease back. So, I have another fortnight of this to look forward to.

The hand and foot have been suspiciously tingly and achey today; such that I wasn't sure that I could make it out to watch a couple of hockey games, go to church, and attend the stepbro's birthday dinner. In the end, I did none of those things.

I know the psych said not to let my fear rule me, and that I should go out and do things the same as always, but part of these next couple of weeks will be re-establishing a 'baseline normal' from which I can start exploring what I can and can't do anymore, what's hurting, what doesn't, what feels swollen, what is going to pass.

I did finish a fic that I started writing for the mcuflashmeme (which has gone quiet these last couple of weeks), back when they were looking for a story set by moonlight.

summary: She had become complacent and, as all Arrows were taught, complacency killed. And her death was looking down at her, deep suspicion lingering in eyes of blue fire.

notes: A 'two months ahead' story for The Gathering Clouds, which was started and planned but never finished.

And I also wrote about 3000 words to one of the prompts in the Maria Hill Comment Fic Fest. Because apparently once I get an idea in my head, it requires EPICNESS to actually complete it.

Oh, and a small Bucky/Sam ficlet here at Tumblr with a dash of Maria/Steve for fun. There may be more.
