I hate when my brain does this
For years (starting in 1996 because I remember the very first time it happened) sometimes I'll use a chemical (cleaning, or more often or not, bug spray) and be convinced I've poisoned myself. I'm not. I haven't, but I'll get the burning mouth and throat and upset stomach and shakes. Even knowing it's psychosomatic it still happens.
Then again I can taste the bug spray on my lips so...(maybe but yes I know I'm fine even if my brain is like no you're not). How did it happen? I spent the morning cleaning house but left in the early afternoon to go to an early dinner with friends and then to my writers group where one of our more successful members was going to talk about marketing.
Anyhow I left the microwave out of position so the counter top could dry. When I came home and moved it a fuck-ton of ants (which I've been battling for months) ran everywhere so I sprayed them. Then washed my hands. Then washed the counter top. Then washed my hands. Then spritzed the counter top with cleaner. Then washed my hands until I couldn't smell chemicals any more. Then ate something.
Then my brain freaked out. (the burning is no doubt the three monster glasses of ice tea (on top of the three mugs of hot tea earlier in the day) chased by 50 ounces of coffee and oh Mexican for dinner).
Stupid brain.
On the other hand the immunization doesn't bug me at all other than being itchy as a mosquito bite.
But in good news, I did get another Buffy story moved onto AO3. God I have a lot of these things. From 2001-2006 (when I began to peter out and write a lot of Fullmetal Alchemist I had to have written over 100 stories...
Hey did anyone know they were putting Swamp Thing on TV? I didn't see what station (or if this is online only). I wonder if John Constantine will make an appearance? You know I was actually disappointed when Hellblazer only got one year.
ETA - For the artists on my feed
