How long does it usually take to adjust to popping up somewhere out of the blue?

I thought I'd have a better handle on it by today.

This morning I experienced two hours of euphoric joy that felt genuine at the time, but now seem very unsettling. If some mage is flinging cheer about, please watch where you're splashing it. Some of us do not appreciate having our minds toyed with.

I think I messed up big time when I was cleaning up some of the shop... 🙈

Hi, Sam. Sasha here.
Weird question for you!
Is Dean acting strange to you at all?

What cruel tricks these are, what the gods do now even after I have given all, to drag me from the gates of the Underworld where I might find the peace that has eluded me.

What more can they need? Let me be aristos achaion no longer. And I do not care for these tricks and glamours.

Of the different types of oil to cook with, flax oil has the lowest temperature at which it will smoke and burn. This is 225 degrees fahrenheit, or 107 celsius. As such, it's best suited for drizzling over cooked foods, salad dressings, or even mixing into healthy smoothies for its high omega 3 fatty acid content. One tablespoon provides 7.2 grams, or the equivalent of four days' worth.

Conversely, the oil with the highest burn and smoke point is avocado oil, at 520 degrees fahrenheit, or 271 celsius. It is rather high (70%) in monounsaturated fat - which is very heart-conscious. With this high point, it is best used for grilling, frying, roasting, searing, or baking. It, too, can be used in salad dressings.

For everything in between, I have compiled a reference list for your kitchens should you have a need:

( cut for length, I decided to go nuts with the 'intelligence' emotion )
-Yes, I tested the heating points of all of these, before you ask. These are my notes and research from this morning.

Alright, Dean. You're not sweet.
What's up?

I think that I'm starting to get used to school. Not that I didn't get some schooling back home before, but it wasn't so formal as this. I'm enjoying it, in its own way, even if it's about as different as possible from what I was doing before being brought here.

Is there anywhere anyone would suggest to go for waffles? There seems to be a lot of options and while I'm not against just trying each one, I thought getting pointed in a direction might be better for my stomach.

Do I So this has been weird. How many people are suffering from weird emotions? Know someone that has been acting weird? Just trying to decide how concerned I should be about this. In case I'm also hit by weird emotions. And definitely not because it's got something to do with me

Seen some weird stuff recently.

For anyone who was interested before, I've got a time and place for group therapy for trauma victims (either mental or physical). Thursdays at 6PM at the DOA. So the first meeting will be tomorrow, come by if you're comfortable doing so, I do try to at least serve from refreshments (non-alcoholic, of course).

I'm also open to one-on-one meetings if anyone wants to go more private.

Remember that no trauma is too small or inconvenient, and nobody will be made to feel this way at these meetings.

Dude, are you okay?

The winter holidays are my favorite. I mean, my absolute favorite. And my daughter loves them too, and my husband and I have had ten good years with her and having Christmas traditions so far.

Except this year. This year when neither my daughter nor my husband are here, and I'm missing them and feeling nostalgic so freaking bad.

Who here has powers to turn off feelings??

One thing I love about being out on the other side of the forest now is being able to see the stars again. I forgot just how beautiful they are, especially this time of year. For whatever reason they seem to just shine a little brighter.
