(In 2011, at the age of 27, I kept a daily photo diary, and now, seven years later, I am serializing it here on Patreon.)

Grumpy.

February 17, 2011
Biked out to my French conversation class that's in a part of town that's... not terribly far away, but enough so that I'm nervous riding around out there because I don't know the roads.
When I came out at 8pm my front tire was completely flat. Not soft. Flat. As if it had never even entertained the thought of having air inside it. Like it'd never even HEARD of air. Just flat against the pavement, as pathetic as could be.
Through the phone Matt relayed his internet-researched bus directions so that I could begin the two-busses-and-one-hour ride home.
Right as I hit the ten second delay on my camera, the bus was pulling up out of nowhere! That is my "oh crap, don't stop before my picture takes!" face.

Making my lunch. Woke up extremely shmoopy but it got better once I got to work. Oh, on account of last night's busted tire I had to take the bus in. Which was nice. Gave me time to write a little in my notebook. Nice.
I'm holding Matt's balls in my left had while I hunt-and-peck type this writing with my right. Holding his junk while we watch shows on the tv or I dick around the internet is one of my most favorite things. Makes me feel safe and reassured.

Miserable.
Broke down sobbing from the pain and freaked out from disgust at the infection expelling itself from my body.
I don't hold up well when my body isn't functioning properly. I crumble.

The infection is abating but I still had to take it easy on account of the leftover side effects that made me limp along in pain. Hilariously, as of this morning I am coming down with Matt's cold! And my PMS cramps are starting in anticipation of my period that should be commencing in a day or two!
Despite efforts to work, the only thing I was good for all day was alternating between reading Geek Love by Katherine Dunn and napping on the couch.
