12.27.24 Friday--I do,act,pray & I have faith that in a lil while nana will go back to her full existence....

2:03 am

Still,have windblow...

It is weird... I fell asleep and woke-up coz in my dream someone told me that someone loves me but he went to Mitch and some said in my dream you will never see Pie or Peachy again or you can never meet her, once you chose Mitch...

Hmm... Yeah! I feel jealous on Mitch now but I'm longing to see her and ask some questions...

Hmm... If I have my love but he went that way,going to that dark forest of Mitch zone....My heart will cry but I have to accept the truth that love is not real and can easily be waved...

Probably, Mitch will smile and hide her tears and will say everything even her waves, all the thorns that made her bleed... I will smile as well coz you gave me pain, all the simple batteries that you gave but I know it was something good but at one point,why you wanted to escape...

What is the difference of my vagina to her or to someone got a perfection on their vagina? Can you identify love on that? Can a man tell love on the appearance of a particular vagina?

Should I be jealous on someone's vagina who is on a perfect state? But someone told me that a true love can stay even without paddling the cave... But someone said he loves me but he made a mistake??? Should I forgive him? Or cut his head?

Once I heard Dubious, I truly like him, I forgot a long time ago....The wind guided me yeah! It is Dubious but who is Khalifa I never heard of that name... One is my blood and flesh, he hurt me when they said he got married already...Khalifa? Weird windblow, I know he is a singer...

Will a man be real that that he fucked someone that he he will say straight into my face that he didn't do it???

Will a man be real if he will say he loves me but he fuck sideways and will say straight to my face that I'm his true love???

Will a man be real that he will give me his logical reasons that he is just accidentally being persuaded by someone that he thought it was that way, that I'm the one he wanted? Should I Iaugh out loud and will sing the "holding out for the hero"???

6:41 pm

Still,have windblow...

20 minutes before 7am for the prayer vow for nana...

7:03 pm

Still,have windblow...

Uncle Jun texted me that he will go home here...

I suggested to biological mother if we can spend New Year in Makati Med parking lot even if we will just borrow or rent a jeep, we are going up and down alternately to the ward. It is my idea coz I pity my nana and in a way Uncle Jun most specially nana... We were "family oriented" way back here with my adoptive parent's. Again, don't be judgemental, adoptive means not legal on papers but they stand as guardian or parent's.... But biological mother didn't want it... It is just sad that my family changed into different ways... It is shocking they became insane,in a way... I don't believe biological mother that it is not allowed to park and eat in the parking lot with John...It is parking lot.... Probably, fundings.... Probably she wanted a different story but I hope not...

8:38 am

Still,have windblow...

My new added board on my Pinterest.

I hope and pray my brown fur pouch will have some money and be returned to me...

9:57 am

Still,have windblow...

I wanted a war, I feel boring here coz my old friends even Mitch didn't want me around....I wanna have some chaos in the society,that we can have access to get food in 7-11 and on any grocery store....

I wanna drive a truck as well or anything to evacuate....

Get some free access on some beauty products... Even living on a tent!

I want a world war 3 where I can be important!

12:29 noon

Still,have windblow...

Done,watching "Ghostbuster--The Frozen Empire"....

7:19 pm

Still,have windblow...

Done,showering John, ready for New Year and still John has his powder shampoo and cologne for the actual New Year's Day. I need to fix my nails as well as tradition every New Year and will just do rooting hair dye...I miss going to Salon but I'm so broke and it is sad...

I wasn't able to bring John in his Salon as well for his perfection of his total grooming routine coz I'm having a hard time trimming his nails... I just trimmed his fur...

Got some charity from my biological father just for our foodish here for a couple of days and he told me this will be the last charity for now until New Year coz he doesn't have work until after New Year and I know I need to do something to have money, get a job or bf who is willing to assist me and cool with John and my vanities...

I really wish to remove my deep smile lines....I really wanna get some nose perfection but in time, my priority is to remove my deep smile lines...

I still wanna ask something and see my cousin-white on Dubious but it is not sure angels coz of his mother hated me for being a caregiver at one point of my life.I don't know how to get a bf that I like... I like cute face like my cousin and Daniel Marsh or an arab man... How I wish,I feel frustrated that I have no circle that I can feel important...

Waiting for 8pm,prayer vow for nana...I feel so frustrated... I wanna have foot spa on regular routine coz it is my fetish though I know I need to whiten again my inguinal and buttish part that I have some blemish now coz we don't have AC.

For men that I want like my white cousin on Dubious and Daniel or any Arab man do they have a perfect inguinal skin???Oh! I know it is usually particular on US, WOMEN...

Hmm... I want my perfection on my skin but life is a case by case...I was a princess -kind and a frustrated Queen but still I feel Queenish the part of being the Queen is still here with me!

8:18 pm

Still,have windblow...

Done,doing the prayer vow and done eating dinnerish!

I hate a bf who can't accept my not so smooth buttish and inguinal now,like what I said we don't have ac and can my bf respect my boyish lifestyle now but way back I was able to fix my butt and inguinal... I feel conscious but I still have the spirit of the Queen why will you not take my not so perfect inguinal and buttish, that they took away the high-life on me,they took away my AC and my spoiled life!

Like what I said this is for my cousin-white and for Daniel Marsh and for an arab man who will possibly be with me... I feel conscious of course, I was perfect on my younger days, I had allowance or I had a job that could maintain my vanities such as my shower gels, my summer's eve when I'm active on sex, I need that vaginal wash "summer's eve" other than my PH and Lactacyd...

Why, they will not take my inguinal coz it is not perfect... Like what I said I'm conscious and I have awareness of course!

But a boyish the usual it is just organic and they don't actually mind the skin on the inguinal or on the buttish....Example when you are actually a player or an athlete but these days they are fixing but off the screen the boyish lifestyle just like mine are really having a brownish inguinal and buttish most specially I saw a Chinese movie that the women are showering,they are pretty but there are some blemish on the inguinal part as well. It was somehow a bold movie of Chinese.

Chinese skin even their actress on a somehow bold movies sometimes they have some blemish on the inguinal part coz their skin is sensitive... But they are on the film,angels...

No.

b) What do you do with your remaining days?

I would try to find a new lovely home for my dog. Make sure he’s okay. I would probably just won’t talk to any of my friends. I wouldn’t want to talk to my family either. I would just be stuck inside my brain, my mind. Thinking about what it’s gonna be.

c) Would you be afraid?

No. Not at all.

73. You can only have one of these things: trust or love.

Trust. I have trust issues so... that would help me mentally a lot.

All Star by Smash Mouth (;

75. What are the last four digits in your cell phone number?

4373 (:

76. In your opinion, what makes a great relationship?

Trust. Communication. Tolerance. Laughter. Dreams about future spent together.

77. How can I win your heart?

Make me laugh. And understand please that I have some issues I need to deal with. You don’t have to, but once you win my heart and we are dating, you would have to deal with it whether you want it or not. It’s not my fault. Please understand it.

78. Can insanity bring on more creativity?

Yes. And depression brings the most beautiful thoughts - ironically.

79. What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far?

Adopting my dog. We rescued each other.

80. What size shoes do you where?

39 in Europe, 6 in UK, 8 in US.

81. What would you want to be written on your tombstone?

89. What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?

I’m pretty open. I would answer anything. Truly.

90. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?

Mummies don’t scare me. I would just ask them what to do to become like them.

91. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What is that power?

Telekinesis. That way, shit will still get done when I’m having a lazy day.

92. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?

When I saw my dog for the first time. When we met. When we went for our first walk outside the shelter.

93. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?

My very first relationship.

94. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Who would it be?

Not yet.

99) If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

Sick

Well…i was planning to write this days ago. Now i am writing this, especially when i am sick, i hope it goes alright. The 2DbendyAu and design belong to Belong to @shinyzango.

—

Bendy sat on the couch waiting for Henry to get back from work.The toon rested his head on the arm chair bored but still paying attention to the program on the television. He tapped his fingers on the pillow under his arm.It was 4 pm, Henry is usually home by 3:50 pm. He began to worry until the sound of a car pulling into the drive way snapped him out of his thoughts and he got up.

Henry walked in, but something about him made the toon worry. Sure it looked like he had not gotten any sleep, but his skin was a bit pale and he began to cough.

“H-henry? are you alright?” Bendy asked him, gently grabbing onto Henry’s sleeve.

“Yes i’m fine it was just a little cough”

“are you sure you look a little pale”

“i’m fine bud.” Henry set down his brief case.“i’ll go change my clothes, and i’ll get dinner started”

-timeskip-

Bendy laid in bed, his Bendy plush under his arm. He could hear Henry coughing, and he knew very well Henry was sick. Henry rarely got sick.Bendy remembers the time he got sick and Henry was taking care of him day and night he even took a day off work just to stay and look after him.

If Henry woke up sick in the morning, there was no way Bendy was going to let him go to work tomorrow.Bendy closed his eyes after he heard Henry’s cough die down and sleep finally took over.

Bendy woke up in the morning, and walked over to Henry’s room. He pressed his head on the door.He could hear Henry groan and the creak of the bed as he sat up. Bendy decided to go in but not before knocking first. “uh, knock-knock?”

“come in Bendy”

Bendy walked in and saw Henry, his hair was a mess, but his skin though. It was more paler than yesterday. He stood on the edge of the bed and looked up at Henry.

“How do you feel today?”

“i feel fine. I think i’m okay to go into work today”

“..that’s good! i was worried that you got even more sick!” Bendy said as he gave Henry a smile. Henry rubbed Bendy’s head, but then he pulled back and coughed making Bendy’s smile disappear and had a face of concern.Bendy got on his toes and placed his hand on Henry’s forehead. It was hot, he removed it and blew on his hand.

“Henry… yer burning up! Yer as hot as a furnace!”

“Don’t exaggerate bud, i’m fine-“Henry stopped and began to cough again. Bendy sighed and climbed onto the bed.

"Henry. you’re sick! you should stay home and call in sick”

“I said i’m fine!”

Bendy frowned. “you’re such a stubborn old man!” Henry chuckled and sneezed into his elbow.Bendy huffed and hopped off the bed and ran downstairs, grabbed the phone and ran back up to Henry’s room.

“call in sick. now” Henry raised an eyebrow looked at the phone then at Bendy.

“Bendy…”

“please? I don’t want to collapse! i Don’t want something bad to happen to you at work because you are sick”

“…bud…”

“pleeeassssseeeee?” Bendy gave Henry the innocent face, and for once Henry fell for it and gave in. He sighed and took the phone from Bendy.“fine, you win.”

—

After Henry made the phone call, Bendy let him have some time to rest but not before giving him a simple breakfast. He was in the living room watching cartoons when he heard Henry come downstairs.

“just came down for some water"Henry said as he went into the kitchen. He walked out with a glass of water and sat beside Bendy drinking the water.Bendy held his little bendy plush and squeezed it, a small squeak sound is heard. Henry sets the empty cup down on the small table.Henry coughed and he still looked tired. Bendy didn’t want Henry to use up most of his energy, so he placed his plush on Henry’s lap telling him to hold it for him and ran up stairs to fetch a pillow and blanket from the closet.

Henry sat wondering what Bendy was up to, the plush in his lap and his hand was on it’s head. He remembered he had this plush in his closet from when he worked in the studio and was saving it for one day if he had a child. Since he never got married or had kids he let Bendy have it.Bendy came back down with the pillow and the blanket folded up under his other arm and sat a few inches away from Henry and set the pillow on his lap. Henry looked at him.

Bendy patted the pillow on his lap. "c'mon! ya can rest your head here! I can take care of you this way”

“Bendy…i can-” He was cut off when he saw Bendy’s puppy eyes again. “i’m a bit heavy bud”

“i don’t care! c'mon” He pats the pillow again and Henry gives up and gently lies down, his head on the pillow on Bendy’s lap.Bendy felt Henry’s head rest on the pillow and smiled, unfolding the blanket and putting it over Henry. Henry’s eyes were half open and his head faced the other way.Bendy gently ran his fingers through Henry’s hair.It was soft yet it was still a bit messy. He could see where his hair started to get white. He remembered that Henry used to have his hair all brown but now it had a patch of white on it.

He could hear Henry’s breathing and looked over to see that Henry had fallen asleep.They poor guy must have been tired, well he was sick after all.Bendy leaned back and looked at the clock. It was currently 9 am. Maybe for lunch he’d heat up a can of chicken noodle soup for Henry.Bendy yawned and closed his eyes. A little nap wouldn’t hurt.

—

Bendy yawned and woke up, it was now 12 in the afternoon and he woke up just in time! He looked over and saw that Henry was still asleep,he carefully moved Henry’s head off his lap with the pillow and laid it down. Henry stirred and his arms wrapped around the pillow. Bendy ran his fingers through Henry’s hair again.

“don’t worry dad, i’ll just go make some soup."Bendy ran into the kitchen and first drank water from his favorite plastic cup. He then quietly climbed onto the counter top and opened the cabinet and looked around for a can of chicken noodle soup.After searching for 2 minutes he found one on the way back and climbed down, but accidentally knocked his plastic cup and it fell to the floor.He went still worried that the sound would wake up Henry. He jumped off the counter and peeked into the living room. Henry was still asleep on the couch. Phew.

Bendy turned on the stove and dumped the contents of the can into a small pot and began to heat up the soup.He began to make himself a turkey sandwich as the soup was cooking on the stove.He munched on his sandwich and stirred the soup making sure it was heated up well,then turned it off after heating it up for 10 minutes. He turned into his monster form to get a bowl from the cabinet and gently poured the soup into it.He then got a plate and put it under the bowl and grabbed a spoon and walked over to the living room.

Upon walking to the living room still in his monster form with the bowl in his hands, he saw Henry with the plush in his arms and he was still asleep.Bendy smiled and set the bowl down and shifted back into his normal form and ran to get the camera.He took a picture making sure Henry didn’t wake up and he then put the camera away.He then gently shook Henry on the shoulder to get him to wake up, which he hated doing that since he wanted Henry to rest but Henry needed to get something in his stomach.

"mhm…"Henry sat up and cracked one eye open. "hm?”

“i…heated up some chicken noodle soup from a can. Hope ya like it.” Bendy said holding out the bowl with the spoon in it for Henry to take.

“soup? oh thanks bud."Henry smiles and takes the bowl from Bendy and begins to eat. Bendy switches on the TV to watch cartoons as Henry ate up the soup, in which Henry could not taste the broth since his taste buds were dull due to him being sick.He ate everything even drinking up all the broth and set the bowl next to the cup of water he placed earlier. He picked up Bendy and placed him on his lap and placed his feet up on the couch. Bendy rested his head on Henry’s chest, listening to his heart beat.

Bendy heard Henry’s breathing slow down and he feared that something was wrong with Henry when he noticed that Henry had fallen asleep.Bendy smiles and turns off the TV and decides to play outside with his friends.He hops off Henry’s arms and places the plush in his place and sneaks out locking the door and having his spare house key on a string on his wrist and made his way to the park to meet up with his friends.

—

"so Mr. Henry is sick?”

“yup”

“aw that’s too bad!” The boy named Gerald said.He passed the ball to Bendy who then passed it off to a girl named Rachel.

“when i was sick my mama made me chicken soup and made sure i drank plenty of water.” she said and passed the ball off to Richard.

“hm i already gave him chicken soup. He drank water but his fever is still up, and he may cough again” Bendy said frowning.

“maybe he may need some cough medicine. It may be yucky but it helps."Richard told Bendy.

"i haven’t tried that"Bendy said,"maybe Henry has some somewhere in the house.”

“everyone has that medicine it’s usually in a glass like bottle” Rachel said passing the ball to Bendy. “Make sure he eats too, you can’t have him get better with an empty stomach.”

After spending the rest of the afternoon with the kids they had to go home and Bendy went home as well. He walked in, closed the door and put his spare key back were he had it and went into the living room. Henry wasn’t there.

“Henry?”

No answer. he must be in his room? Bendy thought, he went upstairs and opened the door to Henry’s room. Henry wasn’t there. Bendy heard water running from the bathroom and sighed in relief. Henry must be taking a shower. The door to the bathroom opened and Henry came out on a simple long sleeve black shirt and grey sweatpants and was drying his hair with a towel. Bendy sat on the bed looking at Henry.

“had fun bud? sorry if i scared you, i decided to take a warm shower”

Bendy nodded “uh Henry do we have cough medicine? you might need some”

“hmm…yes i think we do. I’ll make sure i take some later. I promise.”

“good” Bendy said.“i’ll go see if there is something i can make for dinner.”

“bud-”

“you still need rest Henry” Bendy told him. He then switched into his monster form and hugged his friend, resting his chin on Henry’s head. “do it for me, please?”

Henry sighed and hugged him back. “okay. But please be careful in the kitchen.”

“don’t worry i will” He said and pulled back and walked out of the room and went to the kitchen and went back to his original form. Henry went down to the living room and wrapped the blanket around himself. “it’s a bit chilly…”

Bendy meanwhile cooked up a big can of bacon soup,it wasn’t the one from before but it was still good. He heated it up then poured some into a bowl for himself then one for Henry. He carried both bowls into the living room and saw Henry holding the plush in his hand. He was looking at it, like he was trying to remember something.

“Henry?”

“hm? oh, it’s nothing…"He set the plush down.Bendy gave him a bowl and he began to eat. "bacon soup? i haven’t had this since we left the studio months ago.”

“yup!” Bendy smiled.He took a spoon and was about to eat when an idea popped into his head. “Hey Henry say ‘ahhh’!”

“huh? Bendy i’m not a baby!” Henry said chuckling. Bendy smiled and poked the spoon on Henry’s lips until Henry gave in and opened his mouth. Bendy gently pushed the spoon in and Henry ate the soup and let Bendy pull the spoon out.Henry gulped down the soup then began to eat on his own again as Bendy giggled and ate his own soup. After that, Henry took some medicine to help with his coughing.

It was night time and Bendy refused to leave Henry’s side and switched into his monster form and carried Henry to bed even though Henry protested.He tucked him in and laid his head beside Henry’s. He yawned and stayed awake until he saw Henry’s eyes close.

“good night,bud…”

“good night Henry”

Henry fell fast asleep and soon Bendy did too.

-the next day-

Bendy yawned and sat up, still in his monster form and opened his visible eye.He moved his arm hoping his hand would land on Henry’s head,but instead he felt something soft.

Henry was not in bed.

Bendy began to panic and felt calmness from the back of his head, which meant it was Henry’s feelings. Bendy rushed down to the kitchen to see Henry cooking.

“ah good morning, Bendy”

“huh?”

“i’m a little better, i got up and you looked so peaceful in your sleep and i didn’t want to wake you up.”

“oh."he shrunk back to his normal form and hugged Henry by the waist burying his face in Henry’s stomach. "it’s good to see you are a little better”

“it feels good, though i’m still a little to sick to go back to work. i should be able to go back tomorrow"He turned off the stove and Bendy pulled away. Henry set a plate of chocolate filled croissants on the table and gave Bendy a mug of hot chocolate and poured himself a cup of coffee.He sat down Bendy takes a sip of his hot chocolate.

"Henry?”

“mhm?”

“i was really scared…i thought you weren’t going to get better. My friends told me about it though when i told them.”

“oh Bendy, It’s not like i was going to die. Thanks to you i was able to get better.”

“I know…and i’m glad you are”

Henry gives him a soft smile “come on, they’re gonna get cold” he said as he munched into a croissant.Bendy Smiled and bit into one feeling the chocolate pour into his mouth.

He knew that if Henry were to get sick again, he knew what to do to help him get better.

The Electric Odyssey: My cross state trip in a Nissan Leaf

On Thursday, April 6th, 2017, my older brother and I traveled from Atlanta, Ga to Destin, Fl for our sister’s wedding ceremony that Friday in my Nissan Leaf. We had a hotel room and everything set up, but we had not properly planned a means to get there. We had planned on getting a rental car, but I was too young for any of the agencies and my brother’s license was outdated on place of residence, so neither of us had any luck. After trying for a couple of hours at a couple different rental car agencies, I jokingly said we could take my electric car. 45 minutes later we were packed and ready to hit the road.

Special Note: If there seems to be any time discrepancies, it’s probably because Georgia is on EST and Alabama and the part of Florida we visited are on CST. I might have also recalled the time incorrectly.

Preparations and Leaving Georgia

Before taking off we downloaded the PlugShare app to our phones and began looking through the different charging stations throughout Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Not knowing exactly how the app worked, we charted a sketchy course from Atlanta down to Montgomery and then to Destin. Feeling somewhat confident we could do this, we took a quick stop at a nearby dealership to fill the tank up to full before heading out for real. Traveling to the Georgia/Alabama border was actually really easy, if tedious since every 40 minutes to an hour we had to stop somewhere to charge. We encountered no problems at any of the charge stations in Georgia except for one: At the Nissan of Union City the charging station was completely surrounded by parked cars and it took 45 minutes of just sitting there before we could finally get a car moved and be able to start charging. Other than that, we arrived at the Georgia Visitor Center and prepared to make the long trek to Montgomery.

Stuck in Montgomery

It was about 4 PM by the time we left the visitor center, and we were beginning to think we probably wouldn’t arrive in Destin until late that evening. Because of that, my brother went ahead and took a nap while I manned the vehicle into Alabama. This is when some serious issues came into play. First, I was not experienced at driving long distances at all, and Montgomery was 73 miles from the visitor center. Second, something we didn’t really realize until later, our car was carrying a bigger load than usual with the additional person, our luggage, and some various things we brought for the wedding and the beach, which meant we needed more energy to travel. This culminated in the car running out of power on the highway, just 3 miles away from a charging station. We had no back up battery either since those were costly and I never really needed the extra mileage. Stuck with no other choice, we called a tow truck to tow us to the Hilton hotel 3 miles away so we could charge. Even worse, the charger at the location was a J1772, not a CHAdeMO charger we had been using all throughout Georgia, so we had to wait 3 hours for the car to get charged just a little over halfway. Added to that the wait time for the tow truck to show up, we were in Montgomery for a little over 6 hours.

The five to six hour wait really got to us both. I was cursing myself for being overzealous and stupid for passing up a charging station in between Montgomery and the visitor center. Meanwhile, my brother had accidentally sent out a mass text about how we had to be towed when he meant to just send it to our mother, so he was constantly being texted and harassed about how stupid we were being and that we should just turn back around. We walked off to get some dinner, and during that I opened up PlugShare to try and better plan our route only to figure out that we would have to stop at least three more times at J1772 chargers. Not seeing a single fast CHAdeMO charger on the route, I began to discuss with my brother about continuing our travel or to just give up and go home. We talked and argued for a good two and a half hours as calmly as we could manage, mostly because we couldn’t do anything else while the car was charging. Eventually, my brother convinced me that I was overexaggerating how long I thought it would take to charge the car at the next few charging stations. At around 11 PM, we packed up and headed to the next charging station.

Arriving in Destin

The trip to the Nissan dealership in Troy, Al was absolutely no issue, but the slow charging time was depressing, and the thought that we had to do this two more times was excruciating to think about. My brother was able to nap well enough, but the stress and cramped legs made it so I didn’t sleep at all. Seeing that I was tired, my brother manned the car to the next destination, Andalusia, Al. My memory of the travel there is hazy as I drifted in and out of sleep, not able to stay asleep. I do remember though eventually looking out the rear view window and seeing a red Ford truck following us. I thought it a little strange at the time since it was 1 AM and we were using country roads in the middle of nowhere, but I drifted back to sleep. The next time I woke up, I looked back and saw the same truck. Not knowing how long I had been asleep, I put my worries away for the time being and fell back asleep. After the fourth or fifth time of waking up and seeing that car behind us though I became extremely suspicious. From what my brother told me later, that same truck followed behind us through every turn we took for a solid 40 minutes. Eventually, my brother took a turn into a road and quickly made a U-turn, and then drove away out of sight of the Ford. It seemed like the car had tried to also make a U-turn to keep following us but couldn’t turn the bigger, more bulky truck around in time. I never saw the driver’s face because it was dark out, but towards the end I was terrified for my brother’s life and mine.

Luckily, that was the only real threat or obstacle on the last leg of the journey. We managed to drive down to Andalusia, Al, and then to Crestview, Fl without any other incident. With the last charging station down, I drove us into Destin at 10 AM Friday with no issues, glad that the trip was over for now. However, our car troubles wouldn’t stop here as we still needed to travel home.

Starting the Return Trip

We made the wedding just fine and managed to have a little fun that Friday and Saturday. Our family members were laughing at us for doing something so stupid, but otherwise it was a fun get together. On Sunday at 8 AM we packed up and headed out onto the road again, stopping by in Crestview, Fl again to get some electricity. Both me and my brother were dreading the upcoming slow charging stations, but we felt confident we’d make it back to Atlanta without any issues. Having already experienced the trip once, we thought we had a real plan this time around, including making sure to stop in between Montgomery and the Georgia Visitor Center so we wouldn’t be stranded on the highway again.

Of course, the return trip wouldn’t be so easy, and we ran out of gas yet again on our way back to Andalusia, Al. I was at the helm again, and my lack of experience driving long distances showed it’s face again. My brother had gotten us through Alabama because he was extremely good at cruising and keeping speed up in hilly terrain, but I had never attempted to cruise a car before. Halfway through the drive I began to express my concern to my brother, and he tried his best to teach me how to cruise the car. To his credit, he was a pretty good teacher, and by the end I was starting to understand how to cruise. However, I had used up to much electricity at the start, and we ran out of power again two miles from our destination. Fortunately for us, we weren’t on a highway, and before we ran out of power I managed to pull us into a gas station that generously allowed us to charge our vehicle. My brother decided to take over as driver for the rest of the trip just so we could get home, but thankfully he didn’t get angry with me or anything. We charged at the gas station for about 45 minutes with my wall charger and managed enough power to get us into the Nissan dealership in Andalusia. From there we had no issues for a long time and we were able to travel back to Troy and then to Montgomery.

Stranded for a Third Time

By the time we reached Montgomery the slow pace was starting to really get to my brother as it was already reaching 9 PM. I was perfectly happy to wait 2 to 3 hours to get more than enough electricity to arrive at the next destination, but he kept asking if we could just go. By Montgomery his patience had been stretched as far it could go. He was confident he could get use to the next charging station without using too much power. We left Montgomery with slightly less energy than we had at the last two stops, so of course our hubris dictated another problem. This time, I-85, the highway that lead from Montgomery, Al up to Atlanta, Ga was bogged down with traffic due to an accident. The stop and start traffic on the highway prevented my brother from effectively cruising, and once again we ran out of power 4 miles from our destination. Not wanting to have to be towed yet again, especially since it was so late at night, I had convinced my brother to get off the highway when we still had some power. There were no gas stations that we could see at the exit we pulled off of so we had to enter a trailer park and ask a resident if we could borrow their electricity. We were lucky and landed some nice people who let us power our car for 40 minutes. With that, we had enough power to reach the next charging station.

Charging Troubles

After getting the car charged with sufficient excess, we left Alabama behind us and reached the Georgia Visitor Center once again, this time at 4 AM. My brother and I were exhausted by this point from all of the driving, but we were looking forward to the fact that the route back to Atlanta was full of fast CHAdeMO chargers. Of course, the very first one we got to in the visitor center was encountering some sort of error, and because of how the building was constructed we would have to park illegally in the grass to use a wall plug to charge the car. I tried at first to call the service help, but after 20 minutes of sifting through automated responses and static it became evident that we would not be able to access anyone for support until morning. After everything that had happened, being unable to charge at this point made me almost break down into tears. Me and my brother tinkered with the charging station for an hour, trying to figure out if there was any way of getting a charge out of it. We didn’t attempt any electrical work or anything, we just simply messed with the emergency button and the GreenLots app to see if we could get any response. After 15 minutes of messing with the charging station and almost giving up, the charging station began to work. At that moment, when after all the trouble we had gone through something finally worked in our favor, I actually did cry. It was like a small miracle to me, and we managed to get a full charge from this charging station in just under an hour. With that charge we were able to make it up to the next charging station in Nissan of LaGrange, which was also another quick CHAdeMO charger. Our spirits were starting to rise that we would be able to get home before the sun rose.

One Last Hindrance

We were still too far away from home to make it in one charge, so we had to look at the PlugShare map and figure out where exactly we could go. I eventually settled on going back to Nissan of Union City since it was the only place that had a CHAdeMO charger and didn’t require us to stray too far from I-85 to get to. Now, up until this point every single dealership that we had come across didn’t have anything preventing us from using their charging station, so we hoped and assumed that this Nissan would be the same case. Of course, as is our luck, Nissan of Union City had a gate that they closed and there was no way to get to the charger. Our only choice was to drive to a nearby Publix grocery store to use a J1772 slow charger. And to rub salt in the wound, we had to pay to use this charger. By this point my brother was absolutely furious. As we waited on this last, unneeded, painfully slow charger, my brother launched on a tirade insulting the Nissan of Union City. Eventually, the two of us fell asleep in the car and waited the 3 hours necessary to charge the car enough to get home. Still furious and extremely tired, my brother was in no condition to drive, so I took over for the last leg of the road. Finally 10 AM, my brother and I arrived home.

Closing Thoughts

This trip was one of the most boring, tedious, infuriating, and depressing trips I have ever experienced in my life. What was supposed to be a 12 hour trip to and from Destin, Fl turned into a 48 hour trip from hell. However, looking back on it, I honestly can’t get too angry. The car did it’s job and got us there and back when we were unable to rent a car, and aside from $100 spent on towing it in Montgomery and paying $10 at the last charge station we didn’t have to waste money on renting a car and paying for the gasoline. Plus, I gained some really valuable tips on how to properly cruise a car, and during the last leg of the trip home I was actually starting to get good at it. It wasn’t a great, good, or even decent experience, but it’s definitely one I’m somewhat glad I experienced in hindsight and will probably never forget.

Serif’s Charm Part 3

[1] [2] [3]

In which Sans goes crazy and Serif makes a fool of herself.

@aglitchandagrump @hiddeninshxdows

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 9:17 PM

Eliot sits up with a yawn. he gets up tucking in Serif and stands deciding to sit at the edge of the pool staring at the water, glad his dream wasnt as bad as her last one

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 9:52 PM

Sans stirs a bit, groaning a bit in protest to himself as DT began to yell at him to wake up. With a small growl he opened his eyes, spotting Serif once again and becoming a flustered mess. Except.. he couldn't get away from Serif's snuggling.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 9:55 PM

Eliot was deep in thought, kinda humming to himself, not even noticing that charm just woke up from his slumber

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:01 PM

Serif snuggled closer to Sans in her sleep. She was really comfy here and didn't seem ready to wake up yet.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:02 PM

Sans had to fight back a small whine of embarrassment... Or maybe happiness? He didn't know but DT began chanting an annoying song and he wanted it to stop before he appeared and he looked crazy. "It's too early for this.." he mumbled to the voice who responded immaturely with a raspberry.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:14 PM

Serif stirred a little when he talked, her hold on him loosened as she stretched lazily and resettled. She made a sleepy little whine that sounded almost like a squeak as she did so.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:16 PM

He melted a bit at the cute noise, looking over at her a little. She was so cute! This apparently caught DT off guard, angering him, and he yelled to get Sans' attention. This caused him to jump a bit, letting out a small yelp and quickly freezing as to hope he didn't wake Serif up.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:23 PM

Serif shifted again at the noise and sudden movement, making another little whine that sounded more annoyed. Her hand closed around some of the fabric of Sans' jacket. After a moment she sighed and reluctantly opened her eyes. She tilted her head that was still resting on his chest to stare blankly at Sans as she actually woke up. "heya...."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:26 PM

He was flushed bright blue. "U-Uh, h-hey! Morning! S-S-Sorry to wake you up!" Haha! You woke up you're girlfriend! He bit back a growl at DT's teasing, his nervous smile falling briefly for a look of annoyance as he barely whispered angrily. "Shut the fuck up you twat!"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:31 PM

Serif squinted in confusion. Did she really hear that last part? Probably not, she was just still dreaming or something. "uh....it's fine. probably time for me to wake up anyway....did you sleep well?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:36 PM

"Uh.. Yeah!" Oh thank god she hadn't heard it. Ooo, risky move~ He forced back a growl, his smile only faltering a bit. "How 'bout you?"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:41 PM

She nodded sleepily, still resting her head on him. "mmhmm! you make a good pillow." She was half tempted to just fall back asleep again. "soooooo....how long have you been awake?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:46 PM

"Not all that long!" He beamed at her, grateful DT didn't make any snarky remark. "I can't believe I fell asleep again -- right after coffee too!" He chuckled a bit.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:49 PM

She laughed. "it was pretty funny! maybe i just bore you to sleep! or you just really want to sleep with me~" She added a lazy wink for effect.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:51 PM

His blush just got brighter. "Wh-What?" Looks like someone's got you figured out, Cripple~ "No! I don't like her like that!" He said a bit too loudly, his blush just getting brighter. Fuck.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:56 PM

Serif stared in confusion. "uhhh...did i fluster you so much you forgot how to use words?" She wasn't sure what to make of that....Well actually she did have one idea. If she didn't her face wouldn't be turning blue at the moment.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:00 PM

"Y-yes! Uh- Yeah. U-uhm, j-just don't know what I was s-saying." He laughed nervously, silently scolding DT that was currently laughing hysterically. "N-No idea.."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:09 PM

"y-yeah uh...." Gosh she was losing her words. "um....wanna go get some coffee? or something. oh uh...and i guess i should change..." She forgot that she was still in her swimsuit and was suddenly very embarrassed about that. Sure it wasn't a bikini but still.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:13 PM

Sans suddenly realized she was in a bathing suit and got even bluer. Oo, nice score, buddy. "Shut up." He muttered again, not processing a lot of this. "B-But u-uh, y-yea! sure! uhm, I-I-I'm up for s-some coffee! P-Promise I won't fall a-a-asleep this time!"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:24 PM

She was getting mixed signals now with his weird muttering. She was fairly sure she didn't imagine that...Oh well. "okay then." She rolled over and stood up, grabbing Elly's blanket at the same time and wrapping it around her so by the time she was on her feet it was around her waist like a skirt. "be back in a minute." and with that she hurried off to change.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:25 PM

Who knew Eliot could be so deep in thought, or is he sleeping? its hard to tell, though he is nodding off a little too close to the pool's edge

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:27 PM

He sat up, rubbing his skull as a familiar entity popped up in the neighboring chair. He growled, not even glancing over at DT. "If I could kill you, I would." Haha, no you wouldn't. You know I would be killing you. Not the other way around. "Fuck. You." *Hey, I'm not the one with the crush. "I don't have a crush!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:31 PM

Charm's talking disrupted Eliots train of thought, He turns around only slightly annoyed [if your gonna argue with your imaginary friend, please whisper, im kinda in deep thought]

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:33 PM

They both looked at him in shock, Sans' blush reappearing. "Fuck.." Told you were crazy. "Yeah I fucking know that." He was whispering now, as requested. DT, not so much, yelled at full volume. Sans was the only one who could hear it though. How does it feel, Cripple? Enjoying my company? "Why don't you go bother Gaster or something?" He ain't fun. You respond with more then just glares. To that, Sans responds with a glare.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:37 PM

Eliot breaths in glad he's much quieter, he turns back to the pool relaxing once again, he really needed to relax anyway since he's still a little stressed out from his dream that was once again trying to make him believe things he didnt wanna hear "~xaler ot woN" he started humming to himself to calm his mind

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:40 PM

Serif returned in a few minutes, glad to be back in her normal outfit. She set the blanket near Eliot before turning back to Sans. "ready?"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:41 PM

he grabbed the blanket thining it out and hooking it back onto the skull decoration, he missed his ribbon thing thats always around him

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:41 PM

He turned away from DT, his smile returning. "Yeah!" He said, accidentally a bit loudly. Yay! Date time! Without thinking he turns back to DT and growls. "Not. With. You."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:45 PM

Eliot rubs the sides of his foreheads repeating in his mind 'there is no one here but me, there it only silence'

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:46 PM

Serif cocked her head in confusion. "uhhh....sans, you alright?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:47 PM

He realized what he just did and turned away from DT's smug face to look back at Serif with a bright blue face. "U-Uh, yep! J-Just thought I h-heard something." You bet you heard something.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:49 PM

"well...okay then." That was really odd. She tried to shrug it off. "hey eliot, we're gonna go get coffee, be back soon. oh, and you want anything?"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:50 PM

he turns to them and thinks "....food" he smiles a little not particualty realizing that he's making nearby shadows a little sharp from stress

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:53 PM

Dude, that dude is making some weird things happen with those shadows. Sans noticed them, but decided not to speak out on them. "Got it." He muttered, beginning to walk off with DT following.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:54 PM

Serif knew she should probably comment on the shadows....but it probably wasn't a big deal. and Sans was already walking off. "o-okay then. be back in a bit." She trotted to catch up with Sans.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:56 PM

Sans walked in, accompanied by DT and Serif

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:02 AM

Serif trotted in with Sans, she'd expected to go to the indoor bar but this was better anyway. It was out in the open where she could see the sky. She stretched her arms and took a deep breath of fresh air. She thought she'd never get sick of being on the surface.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:04 AM

"So what so you want?" I certainly know what you want, Cripple. A barely taller glass of smoking hot- He was cut off as Sans suddenly stomped his foot to the side, directly on DT's foot. His smile never faltered.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:12 AM

"just a coffee is fine!" She thought for a moment. "and if they have any sugar free cookies that'd be nice too! gosh i wish i could eat sweets more. heh, actually, it was here, on my island of course, that i realized how bad of a sugar problem i have. hawke got me some icecream and uh....i kinda ended up running the whole length of the beach in under a minute?" That was actually one of the less embarrassing things she did. She wondered if Times had the same thing happen to him...

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:18 AM

He couldn't help but laugh a bit. "I'll see what I can find!" He walked behind the bar, searching. Meanwhile, DT was sitting on stool, rubbing his foot. He decided to "talk" to Serif. Y'know, toots, Cripple really enjoys sugar! He'll take all the sugar from ya. "Hey Serif, how about you have a seat there?" he suggested, gesturing to the one DT was sitting in.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:22 AM

"sure!" She trotted over and flopped in the seat. Completely oblivious to DT. "so uh, what's your favorite place on the island? besides the hot springs of course~"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:25 AM

DT was pushed off, landing on the ground with discontent. He grumbled as he got up and sat on the next still over. Asshole. "Stop talking about yourself like that, it's not good for self-esteem." he mumbled, hopefully not audible to Serif. He turned back, sliding her a mug before turning to look for cookies. "Uh.. I don't know. There was a carnival and that was pretty great, but I don't think I've explored all that much."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:31 AM

She thought she heard him mutter something but couldn't make it out. She shrugged it off and gladly took the mug. "there was a carnival here too? me and charmy went there in my world. it uh....didn't end exactly the best...but it was fun! too bad they don't have the carnival here the whole time." She sipped at her coffee happily. "i really like the gardens, but that was probably obvious."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:35 AM

"Yeah... The food was really good." Unfortunately you never got to taste what you really wanted. Sans walked over, his own mug in hand. He leaned over the counter, tilting the freshly brewed coffee over the rim to fall onto the stool. DT hissed in pain, wiping off the liquid. Sans, once again kept his smile up. "It probably helps that you read so much about it. If I could read then maybe I could have more of a passion for something like that." he sipped at his coffee, not noticing his slip. DT did though, smirking a bit.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:41 AM

Serif was looking at the stool that Sans had just seemingly poured coffee on for no reason. She would have said it was an accident but it really didn't look like it. "uh....yeah...maybe when you learn more about it then you'll...be more interested...?" She kept looking from the stool to Sans for some sort of explanation.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:44 AM

DT huffed a bit that Serif didn't notice, letting his chin fall onto the bar. Sans just kept smiling at Serif as if everything was normal. "Definitely. I have a feeling you'll help a ton with that."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:48 AM

"um..y-yeah! i'm sure that will be great! i have lots of books to pick from too!" She kept looking at the stool wondering why he did that. Maybe she should just ask. "so uh...is there a reason you dumped coffee on that stool? because there are better ways of getting a hot ass."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:51 AM

He laughed a bit at her joke, even DT snickering a bit, getting a bit blue. "Nah, that was just an accident." Accident my apparently hot ass. Sans once again poured coffee out of his cup, this time right onto the bar and onto DT's skull. He growled. Same thing twice, huh? and begun wiping away at it. Sans, at a delayed reaction looked down at the spot where coffee was. "That... That was an accident too."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:57 AM

Serif laughed, assuming that it was a joke of some sort. "looks like you need to put a lid on those accidents." She pointed to a coffee mug with a lid on it. "unless you wanna spill the truth and tell me why ya really did that." Her tone was joking, she didn't think there was anything else to it. At most she guessed he did it to make her laugh.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:59 AM

He laughed a bit nervously at her second joke, thinking she knew something was up. Yeah, tell her the truth, Cripple. "Actually, I think I might skip out on coffee today." He proceeded to throw the rest of the contents into the air and all over DT who actually fell out of the chair.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 1:02 AM

Serif just laughed all the harder, actually snorting from how hard she was laughing. "o-oh my gosh s-sans! y-you could at least pour it on a plant or something!" She was trying and failing to stop laughing.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

Sans couldn't help but smile at her laughter, unable to stop little heart's forming as his eye lights. "I think the ground enjoyed it more."

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif finally managed to calm down, embarrassed at her outburst. She tried to take a drink of her own drink but the image of Sans throwing his coffee made her laugh again and she accidentally did a spit take on him and fell off her seat laughing. How graceful.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He was taken off guard by the coffee, standing there with a "wtf" face as DT burst into laughter as well. How does it feel Cripple? Not so nice, huh! He slumped a bit, glaring at DT before grabbing some napkins and drying himself off.

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif was flopped on the ground failing to stop her laughter. She grabbed onto the counter and half dragged herself up, resting her head on it. The sight of Sans just made her laugh more. Her face bright blue. "a-are y-you o-okay?!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He smiled a bit at her. "I'm fine." he chuckled, wiping at his shirt. "Probably deserved it anyway." Yeah ya did.

Serif [SecondQuill]

"d-deserved it? w-PFFTTT- wh-why? y-you're a-already h-hot enough!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He got blue at that sinking into his coffee stained jacket. "I-I don't know about that.." If you're hot then I am literally on fire.

Serif [SecondQuill]

She took a few deep breaths to calm her laughter to giggles. "o-oh gosh! i stained your jacket! uh i might be able to get that out later." She pulled herself back on her seat, her giggles dying down as she started to feel sheepish. "s-so..w-what were we even talking about? i forgot. h-hah..."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

"Its fine, don't worry." he reassured, leaning against the bar again towards her with a soft smile. DT seemed to be getting either bored or tired but was slowly fading away, much to Sans' pleasure. "I don't even know."

Serif [SecondQuill]

Her mood lightened a bit when he didn't seem mad. "uh....was it....books? yeah. books. a-and reading! excited for that!...so uh....what's some things you like to do?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

"Well.. I like to cook and make music." he starts out. "That's about the extent of my normal life outside the multiverse." he chuckles, DT all the way gone.

Serif [SecondQuill]

"oh! i like to cook too! although my skill is about as good as times' sooo...yeah. i'm lucky if i don't burn the house down." She laughed awkwardly. "uh, maybe you could teach me! i read to you and you teach me to cook!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He smiles brightly at the idea. "I would love to teach you! We would just stay away from sugar stuffs." He gave a friendly little wink.

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif beamed, chuckling a bit at the wink. "yeaaah no sugar for me. unless you want a crazy swap bouncing around." She thought about taking a drink of what coffee was left in her mug but she didn't trust herself not to laugh. "you mentioned music? i didn't know you made music! what instruments do you play?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He chuckled a bit, about to comment on that when she mentioned music. No one usually asked about that. "O-oh, I play guitar, piano, and drums but I mostly sing."

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif's eyelight sparkled. " wowie! you're like a whole band! i bet you're a wonderful singer! especially since you're charmy's alternate. i wish i could sing. charmy tried to help once but uh...it never really went anywhere. at least i don't need a good voice to play piano and violin. oh! do you have a favorite type of music?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He kinda took a moment to stare at her, his face melting again into one of awe and love. He was too far gone. "I guess I like anything that has a meaning. Anything that can move a crowd to tears, motivate someone not to give up hope, just telling a story is enough for me." he told her, his eye lights taking the shape of little hearts. "I would love to perform with you some time, if you'd like."

Serif [SecondQuill]

His words sounded wonderful! Like a poet! She loved songs with meaning. Things that had emotion were just perfect- She paused in her thought process as she noticed the shape of his eyelights...were those? Hearts? Oh shoot did she somehow charm the charming prince? Times was going to be furious- oh wait. Duh. He was probably just really passionate for music! Hah. Yep. "thats exactly what i love in music! and i'd be more than happy to preform with you sometime! we could have our own little two person band!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

His smile never left, his posture sinking more and more as he leaned on the bar, simply finding joy in listening to her speak. It took him a moment to realize she had stopped. "That sounds awesome! We will have to fit it in between all the other plans we're making." he chuckled, a little blue blush appearing. He didn't know what he was feeling but he wasn't complaining.

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif laughed. "think we're planning more than we can handle! that's okay though! we'll just have to split it up into more get togethers!" She decided to try drinking her coffee again, managing to finish it off without laughing. "have you listened to much human music? i'm not sure how it is in your world but it can be a little hard to come by in mine. most of the time i get lucky and find something in the dump. like mcr stuff! don't know why anyone would throw that out though."(edited)

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

"I'm up for seeing ya more." he smiled, "I have heard some human music -- Arial is good at finding it. She gave me a sound track to a musical about American history recently and from what I've listened to it's badass."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"oh! my arial gave me a dvd for a recording of that! she told me to watch it with charmy and i keep meaning to ask her but of course something always gets in the way. i bet times has a dvd of it too! you might ask to watch it with him. it sounds like it will be awesome!" She half looked over the counter. "oh yeah, did you manage to find any cookies?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He would have to keep that in mind. Arial did say something like that to him about it. He stood a bit taller when she mentioned the cookies. "Oh right! Sorry, I forgot." He chuckled nervously before quickly turning away to try and find them. After a few minutes, and a few taste tests, he was able to find the sugar free ones. He made a small platter of different kinds, spinning as he set it done in front of her with some flair. "There we are!"

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif waited patiently, just kicking her legs softly and looking around at the area. She switched her attention back to Sans as he spun. Her smile just growing at how dramatic it was. "thank you, oh master cookie finder!" She bowed her head in gratitude. She gladly took a cookie and shoved the whole thing in her mouth. “gosh i love sweet things! maybe thats why i like you so much~” Her words might have a little more effect if she wasn’t talking with her mouth full.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He smiled brighter at her, grabbing a cookie himself to munch on while he returned to his slouched position. His blush returned, a wide bright blue line visible across his face. It didn't seem to matter if her mouth was full or not. He looked over to the side, trying to keep his blush under control as he chuckled nervously. He glanced over at her and all that seemed to do was make it worse.

Serif [SecondQuill]

She had to resist laughing as to not choke on her cookie. Gosh he flustered easily! Even more than Charmy it seemed. "ya got a fever or somethin? your face is looking pretty blue~ or did i just burn you with that coffee?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He chuckled again, rubbing the back of his skull as he still avoided Serif's gaze. "N-nah. You should know I don't handle that type of stuff good." Especially not with her. When it came from her.. It was different. He just felt his soul get tighter and his ribcage twist... In a good way.

Serif [SecondQuill]

She'd half expected some sort of witty comeback. Must have really flustered him. "yeah, sorry about that. you probably get flustered enough by your 'brave knight.'" She picked up another cookie and shoved it in her mouth. "so how's times doing anyway? haven't seen him since...uh..." They filed divorce papers after the night they got drunk and ended up married somehow. "haven't seen him in a while."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He finally mustered the courage to look at her again, his blush staying control at the change of topic. "He's good." He said simply. "It's been a bit since I've last seen him too.. But that'll change soon. I'm gonna need his help with something. I can say hi for you if you want."

Serif [SecondQuill]

She laughed nervously and shoved another cookie in her mouth. "uhhh best not. we don't get along very well. he's gonna be pissed as is that i've been talking to you. plus after recent events between us- um...." Her face turned bright blue remembering their stupid antics. "i'm pretty sure h-he's trying to avoid me."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He can't help but smile a bit, leaning on the counter a bit more towards her. "Well, now I'm curious. What happened?"

Serif [SecondQuill]

Her blush got even worse and she tugged her bandanna half up her face. "n-nothing! j-just s-swaps being swaps! HAHAHAHA...."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He couldn't help but smile a bit wider, mischief crawling into it and into his voice. "Aw, come on. It can't be that bad."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"w-well considering that w-we c-crashed a car, left seb to die, almost g-got arrested, and jumped in a river, i'd say it was that bad." She shoved another cookie in her mouth. "andmeandtimessortagotmarried." She hoped he couldn't understand that last part.(edited)

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

Any other person would laugh at that. Any other would find that oddly frustrating. His blush grew and his smile fell. "O-oh."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"y-yeah...." She coughed awkwardly. "it was a pretty wild night. a-anyway, things are pretty much fixed! seb is fine, albeit furious with us. we found the person who owned the car and paid them back. and uh....me and times got things worked out. kinda. it's still really awkward but hey, we were drunk off our asses so at least we have an excuse." She sunk into her bandanna. "I guess it was our fault we ended up drunk in the first place though..."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He would have to lecture Swap later. He shrinks a bit himself, deciding to try and quickly change the subject. "U-uh- who's Seb?"

Serif [SecondQuill]

"s-seb is another a-alternate of ours. we thought he was j-just a normal one b-but it turns out he's half human! isn't that weird? n-not in a bad way! just, i never thought that possible." She tugged at her gloves. "we kinda found that out a-after he got shot. it's a little hard to h-hide when he w-was bleeding so much...." She still felt bad about that. Especially because in her drunken state she'd said some pretty nasty things about him. And then left him to die.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

"Geez." He fell silent as he thought about that. A half-human alternate of Swap? That held many questions. But he was curious. Maybe he could help that guy out -- if only being there as an understanding supporter. "Maybe I can meet him one day." He couldn't help but smile a bit. "I could probably help him out if he needed it."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"he's actually been wanting to meet you for quite a while! ever since times started talking about you at the meetings. i think you'd get along great! and uh...maybe you could throw in a good word or two for me?" She tugged at her gloves. "i said some pretty nasty things to him and he hasn't even let me apologize...i d-didn't mean them! i just...i dunno, i was drunk and panicking and..." She sunk more into her bandanna. "he didn't deserve to be called such things. or to be left behind. heck, he coulda died there. more likely than not."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

His gaze wonders off. "Yeah, I know that feeling." He muttered. Seems like they could get along better then he originally thought. He managed to look back to her and give a reassuring smile. "I'll try!"

Serif [SecondQuill]

She managed a smile. "thanks sans, you're the best!" If he wasn't on the other side of the counter she'd hug him. She thought for a moment. "not sure you'd get along with many of the other swaps. red is more of an asshole than me and times and he's doesn't have a charm. you might get along with clover and fluffle but you better be prepared to hear absolutely EVERYTHING about their families. they are huge talkers. whisper doesn't talk much, he didn't even make his own nickname, we picked it out for him. lavender if nice, but you have to deal with the wrenne side as well as the swap side. sparky is nice but he's always so nervous and he never talks about his world. and tiny is an asshat, we all hate him. but who doesn't hate their younger selves?" She realized that probably everything she said didn't make sense. "oh gosh! sorry about that! i rambled again didn't i? hah...there are a lot of us if you couldn't tell."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He listened with interest -- they all sounded better than his alternates. Far less scary, at least. He kept smiling at Serif, it falling from reassurance to a lovestruck grin once again. Her rambling was so cute. "It's fine." He chuckled. "They all sound so interesting. I'd love to meet them, really."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"maybe you could come to a meeting sometime! next meeting is actually coming up pretty soon. although i should probably clear it with the others first. I'm sure they'd love to have you though!" She took another cookie. "just be warned, they are clingy as heck and you'll probably be bombarded with hugs."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He couldn't help but laugh at that. "For some reason that doesn't surprise me in the least." he took another cookie himself, breaking one in half and munch on it. "But I'd think it would be interesting to see ten other Swaps in one room."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"heh, interesting is one way to put it. more chaotic to be honest. if it wasn't for lavender we'd never get anything done. i don't know who's 'smart' idea it was to cram a buncha alternates that hate eachother in a room and try to get them to talk to eachother, but eh. i mean some good comes of it, like getting to meet you."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

His blush returns and his smile grows a bit more, his little eye lights forming hearts again, little to his knowledge. "Well, from the sounds of it if Wrenne is apart of him somehow that makes a lot of sense."

Serif [SecondQuill]

"oh yeah! i forgot to explain that. apparently somehow wrenne died? and so her swap absorbed her soul so they are this sorta fusion. he doesn't look much different except his eyelights are the color of wrenne's soul, lavender! and he got a little taller. wrenne can take control to talk through him and she tends to do it a lot. i feel bad for the guy, he can't do anything by himself anymore. i mean, sure he's with someone he cares about but i wouldn't want to be fused with my mom, er, dad i guess." Oh shoot she was talking too much again wasn't she? "a-anyway they are like the leader of the group." She shoved another cookie in her mouth to 'hide' her embaressment.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He shudders a bit at the thought of absorbing a human soul. But he still couldn't help but smile at her rambling. "Poor guy. Having someone in your head is... well, it can be suffocating." He knows from experience. "But at least they can keep everyone under control."

Serif [SecondQuill]

His wording seemed odd. It wasn't like he'd had to deal with that personally had he? "yeah, i can hardly deal with myself. having to deal with someone else in my head? i think i'd go crazy! lav seems to be doing okay though. a bit on the secretive side but he can't really keep many secrets to himself anymore. i don't know why but we swaps just like keeping secrets. even from ourselves. been told i'm more open then the others though. times teased me saying it's because i'm a 'chatty girl.' i swear, we got along much better when he thought i was a guy....i do talk too much though..."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

"I don't mind." He told her, smiling brightly at her with the returning heart eye lights. "I think your rambling is rather, uhm.." He caught himself, growing a bit blue. "Uhm.., uh," Shit. What could he say? Maybe just take a leap of faith? Yeah. Screw it. "Cute?" He tried, his voice raising a bit.

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif stared at him for a long moment as things finally clicked. The heart eyelights, the dreamy smiles, the blushing. Her face turned bright blue and little sparks of magic zapped around her. "o-oh." She sunk more into her bandanna. She felt a mesh of feelings. Like the light feeling of drinking alcohol and the energy of a sugar rush all at once. "i-i u-uhhhhhhhhh i-i'm-" She just sorta tilted off her chair and flopped on the floor ungracefully. This was bad! No wait, it was good? No it was bad! Really bad! Right? She made a high pitched sound that sounded like a mix between a muffled scream and a squee.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

Oh no. That wasn't good. "Serif?" He leaned onto the counter more, almost climbing on it as he looked down at her. Crap. He broke her. He fell down from the counter, going around to look down at her with a worried and apologetic expression. "S-Sorry. I wasn't expecting you to shut down on me."

Serif [SecondQuill]

Serif just got more flustered when he came over, stuttering the starts of a billion sentences that never went anywhere. Did he actually like her?! HER? Blue sparks buzzed around as she looked up at him. She took a deep breath to calm herself but it wasn't really helping. What was she even suppose to say? "I-I'M FINE!" She shouted at full volume, her eyelights flipping shapes. Okay okay calm down and think....HOW WAS SHE SUPPOSE TO THINK? THIS GUY LIKE LIKED HER! HOLY SHIT- TIMES WAS GOING TO BE SO MAD AND SHE WASN'T EVEN SURE SHE CARED WHAT HE THOUGHT BECAUSE FUCK THE CHARMING PRINCE LIKED HER. BUT SHE DIDN'T LIKE ALTERNATES LIKE THAT, RIGHT? She had no idea to be honest.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He took a step back, a few bits of dust flaking off as his worry for her grew. He really messed up hadn't he. Great. Just great. His hands fiddled with each other, his eyes darting everywhere. He didn't know what to do so he just stood there awkwardly. He didn't even know what he was feeling or what he was supposed to make of this reaction. He just mumbled another apology, staring down at the ground and his shuffling feet.

Serif [SecondQuill]

Oh shoot was he upset? She didn't mean to upset him! She awkwardly flopped back to her feet and gave him a rather stiff hug. "IT'S P-PEREFECTLY F-FINE! HAHAHAHA! U-UH Y-YOU'RE G-GREAT!" Fuck that sounded really stupid. "J-JUST SWELL!" She was making it worse. "G-GRAND-" Her voice was getting higher and higher with every word she said. She pretended to be looking at her watch not that it mattered because he couldn't see what she was doing from that angle. "OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME I TOTALLY FORGOT I HAD TRAINING I BETTER GO BEFORE ALPHYS GETS MAD AT ME HAVEANICEDAYTHANKYOUFORTHECOOKIESSEEYOULATER!" She bolted at sonic speed through a portal back to her world, before it closed a surprised yelp and a splash could be heard. Probably should have been more careful about portal placement.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]

He wasn't expecting the hug, and when she did she trapped his arms. Her words were off and he didn't know what to make of them. Eventually when she left he was left standing there, staring at where the portal had been before he more or less just slumped. Mentally and physically. He ran a hand down his face. "Sans you fucking idiot." he sighed, walking over to the stool and laying his head on the counter. He didn't understand anything of what just happened, nor how he felt, but he could tell he really messed up. Just great.

Yesterday was cool! I was anxious a lot but towards like 9 pm or so I started feeling better and my physical symptoms of anxiety went away. I hung out with JR and E and we sat at the mall and then we went to subway 'cause JR wanted to eat somethin and that was nice. He gave me a cookie. I was gonna sleep at E's place but I kinda got anxious thinking about it so I didn't want to, but in the end we decided that all three of us would go to my place and sleep. I was anxious and tired as fuck during the bus ride to my hometown and both JR and E showed concern about it and asked me how I was doing and stuff, and then when we got home I got more anxious bc of my physical stuff I get with anxiety now and also bc the anxiety didn't go away. It was nice to listen to music w JR and E though. Then when I was gone for a bit JR was annoying towards E w/o meaning to so she got rly upset and p much decided to not hang out w him anymore. I sat down with JR for a while and talked about things and then I talked to E and she and I went out on the balcony and started talking about lots of stuff. She calmed down then, but it kinda got worse again when we were all gonna sleep bc JR slept on a mattress on the floor and I lied "between" him and E so ofc me and JR started talking. E went and slept in the living room bc she was angry and upset and. Me and JR just started talking feelings and stuff, tho we did talk abt dumb things too. We went out for a smoke a bit before 2 am which. Probably wasn't a good idea bc we actually went Outside instead of going out on the balcony and it was cold as fuck. And then sometime after we got back we fell asleep. And I woke up at Fuckin 5:40 am and our bus drove away at 6 so everyone got stressed and I accidentally took the jacket I've got that smells rly bad bc of the cats and while it was funny it was also a bit annoying when JR kinda teased me abt the jacket. But it was fun riding the bus w him and E. JR and I talked a lot during the first bus ride and then E joined in a bit during the second. She and I started joking around and JR smiled and was like "u have no sense of humor" and then at one point he got rly negative but it kinda went away. Me and E hung out a bit after arriving in town and she bought me a donut for breakfast and some energy drink. We talked a lot abt things involving my fear which was kinda scary for me but I think it's good to talk about it. Aaaand now I'm at school. Forty minutes left til the first class. Ugh.

the shit is being painstakingly scraped out of the fan

so what you guys may know is that my updates to my fics went a little haywire last week and this week. what u may not know is why. here’s why.

Last Friday, I spent most of the day doing orientation and schedule building for my fall semester transfer to University of Iowa (:D). It’s mandatory orientation, and it has a deadline, so I prioritized that over the update of the last chapter of my friday fic, “Eight Weeks with Eri” (sorry guys, i gotta value my education <3 i still love yall). I didn’t finish until late, I was trying to simultaneously take care of my 2 foster kittens and their momma, and I didn’t feel well regardless, so I posted a quick “sorry the update is late” on ao3 and went to bed.

On Saturday, I had full intentions to write up the chapter and post it, but I did need some things for the kittens pretty urgently (out of cat litter, for one thing). My guess at a day plan was: shower, go to target, tidy up after the kittens, write chapter, post. Nope! My mom tells me that one of her clients (she’s a real estate agent) left her cat at her old house, instead of bringing it with her in the move. So. New day plan. Pick up that lady’s cat, bring her home, go to target-- and all of that takes a while, so I don’t get home until 8 pm. I didn’t even get to shower. I felt a headache coming on, so I went to bed early. I felt awful about not updating, and was worried about my monday fic too, but I was just exhausted. (for anyone who’s curious, no. the client’s cat (Angel) and my foster momma (Nikki) did not get along. at all.) My brother instantly fell in love with Angel, set up a litter box and food/water area in his room, and said he would take care of her. We all kind of agreed that lady shouldn’t get her cat back (sorry, not sorry).

On Sunday, as one of my previous posts detailed, I got taken out at the knees by a migraine so bad I could feel it in my palms. I was shivering with cold, but couldn’t understand why my body was convulsing because I didn’t feel cold, I just felt pain. This is genuinely probably the worst migraine I’ve ever had. It lasted all day and nothing helped except unconsciousness-- but even that wasn’t an option because I had to take care of my foster kittens, baby Dre, baby Eminem (I called him “nemnem”) and momma Nikki. It was genuinely awful. I remember very little starting at the time it set in the night before until I woke up on Monday. (If any of the events here are out of order (for instance, I’m not sure whether I posted the temp chapter for “Eight Weeks” on Friday or Sunday, and all the days and times are pretty iffy for me) this migraine is very likely why. It made a small resurgence on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.)

Monday, I felt much better! I played with the kittens in the morning, and figured I had earned a little bit of a break after such a shitty few days. I would write the chapters after an early lunch and post them by that night. Right before I went to sit down and write, Eminem crawled (very insistently!) into my lap. I said alright, okay, you can sit with me while I write, and I settled him into my lap and got to work on the long-overdue final chapter of “Eight Weeks with Eri.” But when I looked down to pet him, his eyes and mouth were both open. He sometimes fell asleep like that, so I went to close them for him, but he wouldn’t respond. I got worried. I tried to shake him awake. Nothing worked. He wasn’t breathing. I picked him up in my hands and ran downstairs, yelling for my parents (my dad is a firefighter/emt, and has resuscitated kittens before), but he was gone. Just like that. No warning. He had been playing, totally normally, not 30 minutes before. Of course, I cried for a while before I could even move. When I went to check on Dre, he was suddenly walking funny. Not wanting to leave anything to chance, I texted the rescue org that connected me with these kittens, they sent me the phone #/address of a vet, and I drove him there (45 minutes both ways jfc). The doctor diagnosed Dre with a congenital heart murmur and some level of paralysis in 3/4 limbs, and his tail. They said the prognosis wasn’t great. A neurologist might be of some help, but it would be expensive, and life quality wouldn’t be great. The vet tech took me aside and just said to make him comfortable as he goes. I thought he was going to die that night, and I held him for hours. Every once in a while, he would stop breathing for a few seconds, until I rubbed his rib cage and he would wake up with a little start. I thought he was going to die.

Tuesday morning I woke up on the floor (I slept next to baby Dre’s little bed on te floor, just in case), and immediately began researching online. I read vetrinary textbooks mostly (thank you, GoogleBooks). I would open a vet textbook and ctrl+f for Dre’s symptoms, and I kept going and going and checking, rechecking, double-triple-quadruple-checking, I cross-referenced. Literally it was a lot. But what I found was that Dre likely has feline arterial thromboembolism. Without the jargon I had to muddle through, that means a blood clot was blocking the flow to his limbs. The textbooks said the prognosis wasn’t great. I don’t remember everything, because this was a whole three days ago, but the condition (at whatever time the textbook was written) wasn’t common, so I had to cobble together a treatment plan based on similar diagnoses, symptoms, and whatever medications we had on-hand (the vet gave us none-- but we’ve had pets with medical issues before, so we have some options). I went to the store to pick up baby aspirin, because acetaminophen is toxic to cats and we needed aspirin doses small enough to give to a 400 gram kitten who’s barely weaned. At the Rite-Aid, I picked up what would be my best friend for the next two days: a sale-pack of 3-for-$3 Charleston Chews (two of the boxes were the only thing I ate or drank until Thursday). I gave Dre the baby aspirin at the recommended dose, and when his pain got a lot worse, I gave him the recommended dose of tramadol (we had some leftover from a previous pet injury/illness). He trembled with pain that night as he fell asleep, before the tramadol kicked in. I thought he was going to die again. I fell asleep on the floor again. (at some point on this day, my brother managed to accidentally let Angel, my mom’s client’s cat, out of the house, and she ran off. We are still trying to find her.)

Wednesday, finally, some good news. Dre could use both of his front paws (one of which had been partially paralyzed), and he could flick his tail is he really, really wanted to! It was, literally, a miracle. He couldn’t get around on his own, including to eat, drink water, and use the bathroom, but with help he even accomplished these tasks with success! I continued to give him tramadol at the recommended doses every 12 hours (he hated the taste! icky!), but cats don’t metabolize aspirin fast, so that didn’t need to be taken today. He slept a lot. I was still guarded about hoping for him to make it, but there was hope! I finally wrote and updated both chapters of fics that I was late for (”Eight Weeks with Eri” and “Rest for the Wicked”), but between it all didn’t have the energy to post my wednesday fic, “their whole entire lives” (sorry yall) or respond to comments like I usually do. I finally took that shower I had planned on taking Saturday too (it was. so nice. it had been a while since I last went 5-6 days without showering (last time it was depression lmao)).

thurs (dre starts to use back paws, front paw straightens)

Thursday marks the day I’m writing this from. I slept on the floor again, but finally got fed up with waking up every few hours because my back hurt, and moved to my bed at something like 6 am, and slept until 9 am. Dre now has almost complete use of his front paws and tail, and limited use of his back legs! He can’t get around fast, but he can get around! It looks like he’s gonna make it you guys! (I think he misses his brother now that he’s feeling better. He has picked a tiny stuffed animal that he plays with, grooms, and will not fall asleep without.) I posted a chapter of my wednesday fic, “their whole entire lives” too. My friends and I might go to our local protest tomorrow, but I’m not sure how long I can stay because I don’t want to leave Dre stranded if he needs my help. If nothing else, I’ll go donate some snacks, waters, and maybe even some signs to the protesters, if they want them, so I can contribute even if I can’t leave the house for long. It’s something like midnight now, so I’m going to schedule this to upload later and head to sleep (in my bed this time, not the floor).

It’s been a rough week or so. I might take this friday (and maybe next friday) off to restock my prewritten stuff so I can give yall regular-length, on-time updates as we move forward.

In the words of AJR: a hundred bad days make a hundred good stories

so, ya know, look out for kitten fostering gone sideways in some future fics or somn XD

#wow that was longer than expected #woops #in my defense this is my emotional support hobby/career #tbh im not even gonna do real tags on this one bc im exhausted and i dont think anyone outside my followers really cares #unless youre not one of my followers and you still care #in which case #thank *you* random citizen #no but fr fr #<3 #ilyasm

After Trip to Emergency Room Illinois Couple has all 4 Children Medically Kidnapped

Baby Camden was taken from his family after an accident. Photo supplied by family.

by Health Impact News/MedicalKidnap.com Staff

Like many Americans, Mary Sweeney and Cedric Roberts believed that Child Protective Services was made up of “the good guys,” the ones who protect children from bad parents who abuse their children. They didn't realize that a trip to the emergency room puts normal, loving parents at risk of losing their children.

Mary wanted to make sure that everything was fine after a simple accidental injury, but the trip to the ER resulted in all 4 of their children being taken from them.

It could have happened to anyone.

The suburban Chicago couple spent the summer without their children, including infant twins, because a Child Abuse Pediatrician in another state has accused them of abusing one of their babies.

The doctor never saw the baby in person. A fracture the doctor diagnosed ended up being a glare on her screen. There was no fracture. It was a mistake.

Even so, Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) has not returned the children to their parents.

Mary and Cedric have been together for 16 years. The couple has a 9-year-old daughter, 6-year-old son, and twin boys who were born prematurely on March 24. Mary says:

We are nothing out of the ordinary but just a regular middle class family that goes to work, family functions, BBQs, kids activities, mini vacations, and doctors appointments. I coupon and love to shop the clearance rack.

Accidental Injury

Their nightmare began with something that has happened to almost everyone. The baby fell off the bed.

Mary Sweeney was arguably exhausted. She was 27 weeks along in her pregnancy when her water broke. Doctors ordered bed rest. The twins were born at almost 31 weeks, and they spent their first 6 weeks of life in the NICU.

Photo supplied by family.

Mary spent her nights at the hospital with the babies, from 10 or 11 pm till 5 or 6 am, when her husband could be home with the older children.

She did kangaroo care, holding them skin-to-skin for 2 hours each during the night. Then it was home to get the older 2 children off to school.

After homework, dinner, and bath time, they put the kids to bed and Mary returned to the hospital to start over again.

The babies developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious condition that can affect premature babies in which the intestines become infected and a portion of the intestine can die. It was a frightening time for the family.

The twins were loaded up on antibiotics, and they had over 100 x-rays during their hospital stay.

They got better and were able to go home when they were about 6 weeks old.

Mary went back to work as a server at the diner where she has worked for over 15 years. She got home in the wee hours of an early June morning.

Both babies woke up for their bottles around 3 am. Noah is the quicker eater of the pair, so Mary burped him and put him back to bed. After Camden finished, he was a bit fussy and seemed to have a tummy ache. The exhausted mom fell asleep with him on her chest as she rubbed his back to try to comfort him.

She awoke to a thud sound. Camden had rolled off of her and fell onto the hardwood floor.

Mary was horrified, beating herself up as she soothed him and checked him over from head to toe. She cried harder than he did. He calmed down pretty quickly, and Mary couldn't find any sign of problems.

To the Emergency Room “Just to Be Safe”

Nonetheless, she called her aunt and then the babies' doctor. Mary answered the doctor's questions and checked his soft spot. Camden seemed to be fine, but the doctor recommended that she take him to the ER “to be on the safe side.”

Mary's aunt went with her to take 2 1/2-month-old Camden to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois. It was June 3, 2018. The emergency room doctor checked the baby out and said that he appeared fine.

She gave Mary the option of having a CT scan done to be sure that there were no unseen injuries from his fall. She explained the benefits and risks. Mary wanted “to be on the safe side” and make sure that her baby really was fine, so she agreed to the scan.

Terrifying Words

What happened next was shocking. After the CT scan, a nurse came into the room and started an IV. Then, a doctor came into the room. She reportedly told Mary terrifying words that she will never forget:

Camden has bleeding all around his brain, and he just might die.

Mary collapsed to the floor, crying hysterically as the doctor left the room.

Another doctor came in and looked at the baby's eyes. There was no flurry of activity, no mad dash of doctors coming into the room to save his life. Nothing. It didn't make sense to Mary. She thought:

If my baby might die, why aren't there a thousand doctors in here?

The next doctor who came into the room told her that she wasn't going to like her very much. She told Mary that they were calling DCFS. Mary was told that the policy of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) was that Child Protective Services has to be called any time that a “non-ambulatory” child hits their head.

Pediatricians' Policy Ensnares Innocent Parents

That statement appears to be an oversimplification of the AAP policy. However, the AAP Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect issued a policy statement in 2015 entitled, “The Evaluation of Suspected Child Physical Abuse,” in which author, Cindy W. Christian, states that:

General physical examination findings that suggest abuse include the following:

ANY injury to a young, preambulatory infant, including bruises, mouth injuries, fractures, and intracranial or abdominal injury

Significant injuries that are unexplained. (Source.)

Those parameters alone leave much room for non-abusive injuries, accidents, or unknown medical conditions to lead to innocent parents being accused of abuse.

Terror, Then Confusion

Mary frankly didn't care who the doctors called as long as someone was going to do something to help her son. They had just told her that her baby was dying.

Her baby wasn't dying, however.

A neurologist came into the room and told her that the amount bleeding around Camden's brain was very small, and thus no surgery would be needed. He would need rest, but he would be fine.

After that, an eye doctor came in to look at Camden's eyes. Likely he was searching for signs retinal hemorrhaging, something that Child Abuse Specialists frequently (inaccurately) attribute to being caused by nothing else besides child abuse. There was no retinal hemorrhage.

The eye doctor did, however, ask about Mary's nationality, commenting how “gorgeous” baby Camden is.

DCFS social workers came into the room to ask repeatedly what the story was behind the injury. Mary had not had any sleep and was exhausted by this point. She had been terrified that her baby was going to die from falling off of the bed, but now the doctors did not seem to be concerned about his health.

Child Abuse Specialist Pediatrician Makes Everything Worse

Next came a Skype call with Dr. Terra Nicole Frazier. DCFS and the hospital called in a Child Abuse Pediatrician who was 500 miles away, located at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.

There was more shocking news to be delivered. Dr. Frazier informed Mary that Camden's tibia was fractured. The x-ray showed a broken leg, the doctor told her, and it looked to be about 7 to 10 days old. She also said that there were:

concerns for head trauma other than the fall off the bed.

Mary says she was a wreck by that point, trying to figure out what could have happened to her baby. Could one of the other children have fallen on him? Had something happened when he was in the NICU that had been covered up? None of this made sense to her.

The Child Abuse Pediatrician wrote in her report that:

Mother seemed emotional and upset.

State Seizes Custody

Based on the evaluation of the out-of-state doctor who had never seen the baby, DCFS social worker, Ladonna, compelled Mary and her husband to submit to a “safety plan.” It was just for 48 hours, the social worker said, until they could investigate further.

All of the children were placed with relatives. Dr. Frazier said that she couldn't give a full evaluation until a follow-up visit 2 weeks later.

48 hours without their children turned into 2 weeks.

On June 21, Mary's birthday, DCFS Child Protective Investigator Mrs. Dunlap called Mary Sweeney with good news and bad news.

Doctor Made a Mistake

The “good news” was that Camden did not actually have a leg fracture. Dr. Frazier reportedly admitted to DCFS that she had seen a glare on the screen. There was no broken bone, just “a glare off the lighting inside the room,” which caused her to read the scan wrong and see a fracture that was not there. It was a mistake.

However, she went on to say that the brain bleeding had to be abuse.

Mary points out that there was no apology or remorse from the Child Abuse doctor for her mistake that threw her family into chaos.

By this point, the DCFS worker was skeptical. She wanted to get a second opinion herself, but she would have to get approval from the supervisor.

She also wanted the police to investigate. That requirement was incorporated into the safety plan. It took until July 2 for DCFS to notify the police that they need to investigate the case.

Cleared by Police

DCFS demanded toxicology and drug screenings. Those and the police investigation came back clear. An officer told the family that the children should be home by the end of the week.

That didn't happen.

Another DCFS worker, Ms. Jackson, told Mary and Cedric that they needed to be patient, because they have a doctor who said it was abuse. When Mary countered with the fact that the police had cleared them, Ms. Jackson reportedly told the couple:

No, Ms. Sweeney, the criminal investigation has nothing to do with our case.

They never got a second opinion either. DCFS refused to approve a second opinion, and their 2 weeks have now surpassed 60 days. Their protocols state that Child Abuse investigations should end in 60 days.

Can Short Falls Cause Harm?

The primary assumption in baby Camden's case by the Child Abuse doctor is the idea that “short falls” cannot cause the kind of brain bleeding that he has.

However, there are medical studies that have concluded that short falls can cause injury, up to and including fatal head injuries. According to a study published in the American Journal of Forensic Medical Pathology:

The author concludes that an infant or child may suffer a fatal head injury from a fall of less than 3 meters (10 feet). (Source.)

Chris Van Ee, PhD, points out that babies who are shaken violently enough to cause brain hemorrhaging would be “expected” to have neck injuries. (Source.)

Camden doesn't. Nor do any other children whose parents have been suspected of Shaken Baby Syndrome or Abusive Head Trauma that Health Impact News has covered.

Dr. Ee testified in 2008 a court of law that:

today's science cannot distinguish accidental from non-accidental impacts of falls of similar magnitude, barring extraordinary signs, e.g., grip marks or eye-witness accounts.

Steven Gabaeff, M.D., is a doctor of Emergency Medicine and Clinical Forensic Medicine. He analyzed research into Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) theory. Of one study, he states:

Yet Caffey and his cohorts presumed from the inception of the SBS theory that short falls could not produce adequate force to cause serious injury. This was incorrect. Now with both new and old research, some child abuse specialists will for the first time admit that short falls can cause serious injury, including SDH [subdural hematoma], and have recently acknowledged that RH and other retinal damage can occur with short falls as well. (Source.)

Prior Brain Bleeding

There are medical issues that have not been taken into consideration by DCFS or the Missouri Child Abuse doctor.

Camden's medical records show that he was low in Vitamin D, which can contribute to subdural hematoma. He also had anemia of prematurity.

Both Camden and his fraternal twin brother, Noah, spent a month and a half in the NICU. The babies had some brain bleeding from birth.

This is not uncommon. They were almost 2 1/2 months premature. It is well established within the medical literature that brain bleeds are quite common in premature babies.

See:

Common Childbirth Practice Could Lead to Later False Diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome

To date, no doctor or investigator has compared scans from Camden's prior brain bleeding to those following his fall off of the bed, though it would seem a prudent course of action.

Dr. Steven Gabaeff points out the twisted logic of the American Academy of Pediatrics policies which are heavily influenced by Child Abuse Pediatricians.

There are over 2 million cases of subdural hematomas, or brain bleeding, in newborns within the United States each year. AAP policy says that all 2 million cases resolve on their own by the time babies are 5 to 8-weeks-old. Any bleeding after that point must by default be due to violent child abuse or to serious trauma such as a car accident.

See Dr. Gabaeff's study:

Investigating the possibility and probability of perinatal subdural hematoma progressing to chronic subdural hematoma, with and without complications, in neonates, and its potential relationship to the misdiagnosis of abusive head trauma

This logic more closely resembles magical thinking than serious scientific analysis.

Gabaeff also says that rebleeding in places of previous brain bleeding is common and that:

crying, vomiting, or even normal handling have caused observable, often symptomatic episodic rebleeds. (Source)

He criticizes doctors who jump to accusations of abuse in such cases, saying that:

the awareness that hygroma and CSDH are known to rebleed spontaneously or with minor forces, should impact the analysis of findings to avoid misdiagnosing abuse.

Accidental injury, such as Camden's head injury when he fell off of the bed, can and does cause rebleeding, according to Gabaeff.

The likelihood that a parent with no prior history of abuse or violence would suddenly cause harm to their child is very low. He writes:

Integrating an exculpatory social history, one of the most reliable indicators of non-abuse , further favors a non-abuse explanation over highly improbable clandestine abuse by previously loving parents.

The actual probability of … abuse by previously loving caregivers with no history of violent behaviors toward children, should be recalculated in view of a basic statistical analysis in that population which demonstrates that the probability of an anomalous act of abuse (“snapping”) in a population of nonabusive, caring and loving parents, to be virtually 0%.

Discharge Diagnosis – Mild Concussion

Baby Camden was discharged from the hospital the same day he went in, but he didn't go home to his family. The discharge documents paint a very benign picture that stands in stark contrast to the drastic actions taken by DCFS under the advice of the Child Abuse Pediatrician in Missouri:

Your child presented to the ED with closed head injury. For these concerns, a head CT scan was ordered which was negative.

Your child has been diagnosed with a mild concussion. This is not life-threatening.[Emphasis added by HIN.]

Camden's parents want him and his siblings home. All 4 children are suffering from abuse by the state in being separated from their parents. Even short separations between parents and children can be extremely harmful to children. DCFS has given no indication as to when or if the children will be returned home.

Will this all get straightened out, or will this little boy continue to be separated from his parents? Photo supplied by family.

“False Allegations of Abuse Are Abuse”

Dr. Gabaeff's conclusions are profound and should greatly impact the thinking of all those who investigate child abuse:

False allegations of abuse are abuse.

Misdiagnosis, leading to false allegations and legal proceeding, devastates families and the very infant patients' lives that we all work diligently to protect. Families and children are thrown into chaos. It is essential that child abuse pediatricians fully understand the consequences of past and future misdiagnosis of medical problems and accidents as abuse. Continued resistance to evidence-based research, both old and new, that undermines the existing constructs of child abuse medicine, endangers families.

If an expanded understanding of these issues by child abuse pediatricians is not possible, then other participants in the legal process (our other medical colleagues, Judges, DA's, police, social workers and defense attorneys) must take the time to study and analyze these issues themselves and apply common sense and their newly acquired knowledge to insure justice is served.

Each of us must realize that a body of exculpatory evidence based complexity, concealed under a cloak of dogma and zealotry, must be uncovered and incorporated into a willing embrace of the ever emerging, more sophisticated knowledge of the intricacies of the human neurophysiology and neuropathophysiology.
