It's Just A Cold

Author: Autobot2001 Genre: Fanfiction Fandom: Transformers Rating: E Warning: None pairing: Drift X Jamie (OC) Description: Jamie is sick with a cold, but past trauma causes Drift to struggle to leave Jamie's side even though he knows she'll sleep all day.

Day 10; @fluffyfebruary: care @fluffbruary: flush

Crosshairs is up at six in the morning. He's gotten into a routine of using the gym in the house. He has found this helps him a little, and he should get back to working out more often. Crosshairs has been more focused on Jamie and worries about leaving her, even if she's with Drift or other friends. Crosshairs and Drift know this isn't healthy for them, but it's hard not to worry about Jamie. Drift is also up early. He knows what Crosshairs has been doing at six in the morning. "Come downstairs with me," insists Crosshairs as Drift opens the windows and deck door curtains. "No, I—" Drift stops and walks towards the bed. Crosshairs also sees Jamie's flushed face, "she's warm." The two know about human illness and care for Jamie when sick. They don't like seeing her sick. "She'll be asleep for a while. Join me for a workout, then cook soup." Drift sighs and agrees. He gets changed in the bathroom, and the two go downstairs.

The two have a nice forty-minute workout and shower downstairs. The two inform their friends Jamie is sick and that Drift will make soup.

Jamie is awake when Crosshairs walks into the room. Judging from her behavior, he knows she's been sick but disregarded it. He also discovers she has a low-grade fever. Just adds to feeling uncomfortable. He knows Jamie doesn't want to get out of bed, but the living room would be a better place for her. Jamie whimpers as Crosshairs picks her up with her blankets.

Crosshairs knows he made Jamie feel worse as he lies her on the sectional. He gets her as comfortable as possible. He puts the TV on to something Jamie will like. Aware she'll fall asleep.

"She has a cold with a fever," Crosshairs tells Drift as he sits on a stool at the island, "which means she's been sick for a few days already. She probably had a sore throat. Now, her nose is starting. I put her in the living room." Drift knows Jamie will be asleep most of the day, and Crosshairs would sit by her without being asked. The two get their breakfast once the soup is cooking in the slow cooker. They know Jamie won't want anything. Not even hot tea.

Drift checks on Jamie after breakfast. As Crosshairs thought, Jamie is asleep. "You really should go do something," Crosshairs insists. "You both should," they hear Cogman, "she'll be asleep for several hours. You two need to take care of yourselves." Cogman knows why Crosshairs and Drift overworry and can't blame them.

Crosshairs joins Drift in his onsen. Both because he's unsure what else to do and everything he worries about Drift not taking the time to relax. "I know she has a cold. Nothing related to the damn chemical in her blood, but…" "I know, after coming so close to losing her, it's hard not to worry. We need to work on that. She has a cold. Even if it turns into the flu, she'll be ok." Drift leans on Crosshairs, who puts an arm around his shoulder.

They relax in the onsen for half an hour. They return to the living room, even though Jamie is still asleep. The two sit in the sectional. Leaving space between them and her. "I thought you two would be longer," Cogman whispers. "No," Drift replies. "You know why, Cogman," they hear Vivian. The silver human-sized mech leaves the room, "I know you two worry, but you have to take care of yourselves." Vivian puts a hand on both their shoulders, looks at Jamie, and leaves, knowing she can't make them leave. The two relax on the sectional, waiting for Jamie to wake up. Hoping she'll want to eat.

just deleted a bunch of gopro footage my ex put on my laptop a few years ago... i have been holding onto it forever, bemoaning my situation of low memory bc of those videos mixed with larger psd files. i’ve saved them on two separate external hard drives so they’re not gone forever and most of the footage doesn’t actually feature my ex, it features experiences with people i’d still very much like to remember, for the most part, so i’m all 😟😬😩 at the possibility something happens to the hard drives and i lose the memories forever

...

oh well!

i need to have a fuckin’ usable laptop, right?

on organization and responsibility vs. over-worrying

So I don’t update this as much as I should - and I should, because this was made to be a healthy outlet for all the grad school + teaching duties thrust upon me by, well, myself and then my university.

My kids (wow, it’s not like there’s only just a three year age difference) have an exam on the 31st, and since it’s now the 22nd, I think it seems appropriate to worry about them? Or not? Honestly, I feel like a super-concerned mom. My mom told me not to worry too much, and so did my colleagues. I really do want them to do well, and pass this course with flying colors, and to have learned at least a little bit from me.

So, that’s it basically, re: teaching duties. I’m always worried if I’m doing enough, or maybe not enough, to teach this kids. Then again, they are of college-age, so maybe I shouldn’t worry about them too much - they could probably help themselves? At this point?

Anyway.

Some people have seen me preparing for my discussion classes the day before, and joke around that I’m a “good teacher” (really, nothing serious). Honestly, a lot of people seem to mistake me for being responsible and organized. I like fooling myself into thinking that I am responsible and organized, but no, that’s never the case.

I worry too much. I overthink. It’s one of my hobbies and worst habits. (At the same time I also wish to not give any fucks... how peculiar XD) Regardless, this over-worrying pushes me to prepare early and go over notes and answer practice problems and such. This also pushes me to be over-concerned of people’s reactions to me - and now especially, my students. Hence, people think I’m somewhat more organized than I actually am. Sadly friends, I’m not. I’m a big mess, and it comes as a surprise to me everyday that my university honestly trusted me with 50+ kids. So :))

My friend and colleague (who is a Slytherin, and who I trust to know about things like this, what I’m about to say) told me to just stop overthinking and stop thinking so hard about what other people think. Because, he said, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. You can’t please everyone, and it’s not your fault if the students want to help themselves or not. 

I try my best to keep that in mind from now on. Meanwhile, I’ve sent some practice exercises to my kids over the long weekend - with any luck, they’d have received my email, and they’d have answered the exercises. I really hope they do for their own sake... oh, now I sound like my mom. :)

i DON’T keep calm, i don’t keep it over anything! I’m a fuckin’ ‘always-worrying-even-when-there’s-nothing-to-get-worry-about’ girl, so remember this when you want to start some kind of relationship with me. I’m done.

Stressed out about overworrying about being anxious

Stressed out about overworrying about being anxious #MondayBlogs

I’m an incredibly anxious person. I over worry about everything. For example, I once panicked about what I was going to wear on a flight to interview for a job in Oregon… BEFORE I had even submitted my job application for the position. I’m always thinking 15 steps ahead, and at least 13 of those steps are worst case scenarios and what could go wrong.

I live with the constant thought that people…
