At the dentist. I grind my teeth, which has been A Problem. (I do have an overnight mouth guard now.) Some random nerve pain this week makes me think that two badly affected teeth we were keeping an eye on, where the dentin might get exposed—the Time Has Come. I expect one or both of them will need to be crowned.
I can cover the cost out of pocket—my dental insurance doesn’t have crown coverage—but it’s gonna hurt (on several levels). Like I will be real with you, this is not a financial emergency, but it’s not good. So I have a couple ideas for the Patreon in the next month or two, if you’ve ever considered signing up—even free subscribers are great, because it’s a way for me to keep everyone on this enshittified internet updated on what I’m doing.
Anyway, gotta go, the dentist approacheth.

The other post I've been meaning to make is about what's been up with my husband, because I've been making vague posts about hospitals and emergency rooms and not elaborating.
So two weeks ago, he had a dizzy spell. As he described it, "I was eating lunch and suddenly there was rice all over the keyboard." Saturday, he mentioned one or two more, but we weren't super concerned. If anything, he was worried that it might be the return of the ITP, the auto-immune disorder where his body randomly destroys all his platelets - he's been hospitalized three or four times for it, and he lives in fear of the next recurrence.
Then Sunday, he was in bad shape; exhausted, unwell, having frequent recurrences of the dizzy spells with little if any recovery time between them. We agreed that while it wasn't ITP he should definitely go to urgent care that night or the next day. By the kiddo's bedtime he was barely able to stand up; he collapsed while trying to sing a lullaby to her. We aren't totally sure still if he was actually fainting, though we described it that way at times. I concluded it was ER time, not urgent care. So Monday, after dropping Dottie off at school, that's where I took him.
And I don't know if you've ever been in an ER in a major city, but if you go in with something that's not immediately dangerous, you're going to be waiting for HOURS. So the fact that within two hours we'd spoken to doctors about his symptoms and they'd drawn blood and checked his blood pressure was... telling.
Anyway, they got him admitted with what amounts to lightning speed - he was in an ER bed by the time I had to leave to pick up Dottie from school - and he then spent the next five days in the hospital. He was having random episodes of heart arrhythmia, and when he was finally discharged after five days with a buttload of meds to take, he lasted 24 hours before he had another episode - this time possibly brought on by one of the meds he was taking? - and went back in the hospital for another three days. At least at this point he's been home for three days without incident.
So now my husband officially has heart failure - not the usual heart attack kind, but your heart not operating efficiently enough also counts as a type of failure - at the age of 47. He's got a monitoring device he's wearing 24/7 now, and he can't do a lot of the things he normally did around the house or in caring for Dottie. Most notably he doesn't feel safe to drive and can't do the shopping, so that's falling to me, and I find shopping pretty overwhelming, so I'm more than usually busy, stressed, and exhausted on top of worrying about him.

Impulsive late night Saturday post:
Tribulations | AU multi-chapter set in the Trials Universe where Tom sends Alfie to deal with Hermione, instead of himself. Nott x Hermione.
Tom stilled when he took too long to answer. "Has someone caught your eye, friend?" he asked.
Alfie stood straighter, shaking his head. "Not... not in that way," he cautioned, though he couldn't help an unbidden reminder of how well the Ministry witch's skirt had hugged her behind. "I wanted to talk to you about the Granger witch."
"Oh?" Tom asked, surprised. "I thought that you had promised you would handle her."
"That was before I met her," Alfie answered. "She surprised me. Now, I believe that I was a bit too hasty in my judgment. I think that there is more worth exploring with her. I think that she has potential."
"Potential," Tom said, his eyes shifting around. "She's a mudblood."
"Yes, I know, but..." Alfie licked his lips, realizing how strange this must sound. "She knows so much already, about magic. And, even if she did not come right out and say it, she is interested in dark magic. I think she could be useful."
Tom's frown deepened the longer that Alfie was talking, making him nervous. "I don't know if potential is enough to make up for her parentage," he answered.
"There are exceptions," Alfie insisted. "You yourself and a half blood, but it is no secret that you are the most powerful among us. I think that Hermione could have a use. I'm not saying that we don't kill her if she proves resistant, but I think that we should coax her... see how far she is willing to go. I know you see her potential, or else you wouldn't have mentioned her after one meeting."
Tom sighed. "You were the one who told me that my interest in her was unnatural. That it needed to be snuffed out," he said, obviously annoyed at the turn of events.
Alfie ran his hand through his hair. He knew how ridiculous this all sounded, of course. "Do you think I would be insisting on this if I wasn't serious?" he demanded, though he knew he was chancing summoning Tom's ire. "Please, Tom. All I ask for is a chance to see where this goes."

We will all have trials and tribulations in this life. Christ never promised us a life free of trouble, but He did promise to be with us through it all—to the end of the world.
Can you praise Him when you’re going through a moment of despair the same way you’d praise Him when you’re going through a moment of joy? Can you depend on Him when all is going well in your life the same way when you’ve lost control of your life?
God strengthens our faith through trials and tribulations, and He does so for our own good (Romans 5:3-5). It is not easy going through such hard times and times of scarcity but when you have nothing, that's when you realize you have all you need in Christ.
As Charles Spurgeon said, “To trust God in the light is nothing–but to trust Him in the dark–that is faith!... By this shall you know whether you are a child of God or not—by seeing whether you can exercise faith in the power of prayer when all things forbid you to hope.”
May we always seek Him, no matter the circumstances in our lives.

Verses satan wants you to forget when under trial
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:3-5

Sneak Peek | Tribulations
This is a sneak peek to something I'm working on. It's a divergence from Trials where Tom asks Alfie to deal with Hermione when he finds out she is a muggleborn. Alfie is happy to do so, until he sees what promise Hermione has.
I thought this was going to end up being a brief one shot, but the first chapter is already nearing 20k words. I think it will end up being about 5 chapters.
When should I post it? As I finish chapters, knowing that the wait between them could be long? Or, wait until I've finished it all and then post on a regular schedule?
Alfie did not know what to say to that. He wanted to grab the book back from her once again and hold it high above her head so that she could not reach it. Would she try to jump to get it back from him? Or would she be the witch that she was and summon it with her wand? “It’s dark magic,” he told her, wanting to rub her nose in it. Surely, she would recoil at the thought of sullying herself. “So what if it is?” she countered, jutting her chin proudly in the air. “My interest is purely academic.” He was thrown off kilter by her, more than he already was. That was the last thing he expected her to say. Just who was this fascinating creature and how had their paths crossed? In the end, he spent too long musing. She cocked her head to one side and looked at him, a smirk slowly spreading across her face as she made up her mind. “I am going to borrow this book, Mr. Nott,” she told him. “And you are going to let me. Because if you don’t, I’ll return to the Ministry and tell them about the Vanishing Cabinet that you keep in your parlor or the Demiguise tail that you have above your mantle or the powdered kraken tentacle that you have in your potions stores or the venomous tentacula that is growing in your greenhouse.”
