Wednesday Update

[clevermanka]

Ozone treatments are going okay. We had a few sessions where we couldn't get more than 30cc in me before my body said NOPE (the NOPE manifests with what feels like a cross between extreme muscle ache and someone shredding broken glass under my skin so that's Fun Times) but this morning I took all 60cc with no problem. In Dr. Sexy's words "Sometimes the body just says no."

I ate at two restaurants this week with minimal issues! I had to spend a few hours downtown on Tuesday while the tires on the Crossfire were getting replaced so I risked eating at the restaurant where I used to dance (I had a roasted cauliflower appetizer and a side of shawarma chicken). Then last night I went to a sushi place with the Burgomaster's workshop group (because apparently they like my company). No GI pain or poop problems, although I'm pretty swollen in my belly. But hey, at least I know neither of those will cause me an immediate run to the bathroom so I'm counting both as a success. SMALL VICTORIES.

Oh, and I posted my first-ever fic on AO3 ten minutes ago, so that's...um. I'm gonna go with "exciting."

Runby comment to compliment you on your " my body my science experiment" tag! It is an excellent attitude to have.

[clevermanka]

Thank you! It really really is.

Congratulations on posting your first fic! I'm looking forward to reading it. I posted fic for the first time last month and it was scary but I got a really positive reaction. I'm still surprised and happy about it.

*clings to you with first-time fic-poster feels*

Would you mind sharing the URL? I want to make sure I read it if I haven't already!

[forestofglory]

I think you've read it but here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19068883

Oh, yes, thank you! I should've remembered of course it was the one with food! =D SO GOOD.

[forestofglory]

Yes, that's me, obsessed with food :) And thank you!

[anarfea]

Congratulations on your first fic! And I'm glad your stomach is feeling better.

[clevermanka]

Thank you!

And yes, me too. Knowing I won't for sure make myself ill eating at restaurants when I'm in Vegas next weekend is a huge emotional weight lifted.

\fic!/ and hooray for delicious food that doesn’t immediately try to kill you.

Your GIF gives me much joy!

Congrats on your first fic! I'm thrilled that it went so well for you. I have it open in a tab to read even though it isn't my fandom.

[clevermanka]

Oh, wow, thank you! <3 Since it's a remix you might consider reading the one it's based on first, but I think (hope!) that's not absolutely necessary...

I’m really behind on stuff but am looking forward to catching up. I’ve bookmarked your fic fo reading later this week but wnated to leave CONGRATULATiONS today. <3 <3 <3

[clevermanka]

Thank you, bb! I alllllllmost gifted it to you as thanks for being the one who got me here the first place. But then I thought "ehhhhhh maybe not your first fic, Manka." =D I really do owe you something for hooking me into this show/fandom, tho. <3

[mekare]

I would have been happy either way! ♥ ♥ ♥

And no worries, I‘m just so happy it got you writing! This has never happened to me before. Usually I‘m the one getting dragged into new fandoms by others. It‘s such a pleasure to be on the other end?

[write_out]

Your first fic!!! Congratulations!!!!
