looks like the universe wins this round
The day so far, in pseudo-chat sequence:
Aspen: *wakes up half an hour late* Um. Okay, not a problem, I can catch up--
Body: Yeah, about that. You know how you were complaining about your cycle taking too long? Why don't we see if intensifying everything will get it over with? Just remember you asked for it.
Aspen: ...I'm sorry I asked. *deals, continues getting ready for work*
Body: Oh and by the way, I almost forgot.
Suspiciously Nagging Cough: *develops*
Aspen: You've got to be kidding me. *snags pink potion packets on the way out the door, heads for work*
Car: *makes new and disturbingly AUGH LOUD squeaking and grinding sound on startup*
Aspen: Um. *eyes universe suspiciously*
Universe: :O!!! WUD NEVER PLOT EVILZ. *looks innocent*
Aspen: Right.
Universe: Oh, fine. If you're going to be that way about it --
Snowstorm: *develops and looms threateningly in the west*
Aspen: *mutters under breath, picks up vanilla latte, heads for work in squeaky car, parks in garage...*
Suspiciously Nagging Cough: *strikes hard, prompting doubled-over extended coughing fit*
Latte: *seizes chance, leaps from hand, and spills all over clothes*
Aspen: *looks at universe* You win. *calls in to work from garage and heads home*
Seriously, if I'd passed a sewer grate on the way, I'd have preemptively tossed a shoe in. Still, I just can't help but laugh at it all.
Round two will be in about two hours, when I head out for class. This should be interesting.
