Because lounging in bed, pretending to write, and smiling like everything is fine, IS MY LIFE.

@Darryl_TTD @Postsemreh @Ceraphus I first checked to see if @Ceraphus posted this... then confirmed that he was tagged 😅🤣

I'm trying really hard to ignore this observation so I can enjoy this final book in the series, but really... how is such a big thing missed?

(Hoping this rant purges this brain squirrel so I can just... y'know... read?

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

Generally, I like to read series (vs standalone) in the historical romance genre because I enjoy seeing characters again and watching the stories weave together a bit. Unfortunately, it sometimes leads to catching continuity errors that the author and editors missed.

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

My most recent discovery involves the resurrection of a previously quite dead duchess from Eloisa James "A Duke of Her Own" that not only is a substantial character nearly two decades later in "Seven Minutes in Heaven" but is part of the central plot line as a villianess of sorts

@bekitoburrito Fyn is usually fun

Things in the photo that were gross a month ago due to two+ years of #parosmia: meat, tomatoes, anything toasted

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

I'm back on my Untidy Joseph BS!

Post SGB treatment, I still can't tolerate garlic or canned tomato (among other things) so I made pasta sauce from scratch tonight using fresh tomatoes. There were leftovers so... midnight meal!

Homemade meat sauce on toasted(!) Artesano bread

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

@bekitoburrito @psynister You even tagged me in this one and I got no notifications. WTH twitter?

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

@bekitoburrito A. Sorry! I just saw this!
B. I didn't even know. It's because I set it in the dish drainer to dry, isn't it?
C. I give the best gifts, so unfortunately they didn't even try 😭😭😭

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

@bekitoburrito I love the show! I've been more on a Christmas movie kick lately though. Maybe after

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

@bekitoburrito I still need to watch S3

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

This treatment is unlikely to get me back to 100% but it is meant to move me down from the "this is revolting" to "this tastes weird" category.

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

Quick #parosmia update: After getting more information, I had the SGB treatment on right side today. There was immediate improvement (ate a burger & enjoyed it!) but several hard no (garlic, chicken, coke) means I need other side done. Going back in tomorrow.

I love painting with my sister and appreciating our different styles!

Here's an updated image of mine with natural light (warm light on a winter night was apparently quite yellow)

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

I changed my mind. It's still definitely weird, but not very good. Like they made a Binaca flavored soda. 😳😜

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

I don't know what I expected, but @psynister picked this up for me to try. Amazingly, even with parosmia, it tastes like peppermint. Which is both weird and good.

Remember this? It's apparently not my spine, but inflammation of my right SI joint (the joint that connects hip to spine).

Because all those safety meetings drilled "bend with hips, not back" into me (which is absolutely 💯 true) so of course that's what I did.

Hurts like hell

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

Apparently today I'm (puts back out bending over to give the dog loves) years old.

[Gen Aiel @fynralyl]

@ZombieGopher Please may I have my youthful limber body back?
