I'm still standing...
A cat squeezes through a crack made for a much thinner animal. She looks around at the dusty room and sighes.
A swish of the tail and a young woman stands in her place. nim looks tired and pale. Quickly to work (but not too quickly - some thing never change), the room and and cobwebbed multi-dimensional gate are dusted and cleaned. A modern white L-shaped sofa appears, upon which she collapses. A tired wave of the hand updates the writing on the walls:
1)I LIVE IN IRAN
2)I AM A TRANSLATOR/RESEARCHER BY PROFFESSION, WITH ASPIRATIONS TO BECOME A WRITER (update: 1 printed short story in a childrens Journal, 1 Children's Fantasy book at the publishers for editing)
3)I ADORE SF&F - ALTHOUGH I AM A BIT BEHIND THE TIMES - SEE (1)
4) I LOVE TRAVELING - BEEN TO THAILAND, ITALY AND AUSTRIA, AND DUBAI (but that doesn't count much, because there is little to see...)update: TURKEY, TUNESIA AND AUSTRIA (again, this time with mom)
5) I AM ADDICTED TO FANFICTION
Another wall is titled:
HEALTH AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS RATING SYSTEM
Overall Health:
0 (too sick for even the internet) - 10 (the best I ever was) - 20 (what I'm aiming for)
Headache and sinus pressure
-10 (can't move head) - 0 (Why does my head feel so light?)
Emotional
0 (let me hide under the bed) - 10 (not well but having fun) - 20 (anti depressants? what are they?)
Sport
1 for every 10 minutes of light movement (like walking and dancing to music,) 2 for every 10 minutes of actual physio and sport
Sleep
0 insomnia - 1 for every hour of sleep (previous night and in the afternoon)
Accomplishments
1 for small tasks (like, right now, unpacking books and clothes bit by bit, making phone calls), 2 for out door tasks, 5 for every 1 hour of actual professional work (writing and translating), 10 for traveling or visiting important places (because it also means good health and movement and being happy and excited)
FYI, I'm trying to reach an acceptable average of 12.
