Oh, wow, Gar. I'm being hopeful and a litle more optimistic on your behalf. Good luck getting through the wait, and getting good results from the eventual meeting.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

BTW, this week's drabbles have been wonderful and painful. Excellent topic, Steph.
Mine's a little silly. Actually happened, thankfully not to me.
Just Making Conversation
“Can I help you find something”
“I’m looking for long underwear for my boyfriend.”
“Is this for hunting, skiing. . .”
“It’s for keeping warm. I want the warmest you have.”
“Okay, well, this rack is all Expedition Weight. Do you want help finding the right size?”
“Oh, yes. He’s lost twenty-five pounds, so I know he isn’t the same size he used to be. I think he needs a medium, now.”
“Twenty-five! That’s great! How did he manage that?”
“Liver cancer.”
“Oh. Um. Here we go, medium. The girl at the counter will ring you up."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hee, -t! Almost same thing happened to my mom. She's had a perm and set her entire life, and then got a short little pixie cut. Ran into someone she hadn't seen for a year who was all "Pats! LOVE the hair! What made you decide to do something so DRASTIC?"
Mom was all "Well...chemo."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Yeah, that's one of those questions that should probably never be asked; no way it isn't awkward.
The Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with MS, my sister Alice and her husband Nick were over, and she was adoring my makeup: you look so rosy, just a perfect colour for you.
Nice. Ta ever so. I'm not wearing makeup; it's a fever from the disease.

ita and I did the club velvet rope VIP thang last night. Am ready to write the prologue to this damned book. I wish Kristen had felt well enough to come along.

Sail? I have something to send you if you're still up for it. I just want to make sure the e-mail address I have is a good one to send to.
If anyone would like to beta my first chapter, let me know. The novel is sci-fi, but the sf elements have not emerged yet.
Glad to hear that the clubbing was productive, deb. Travel safely.

Me too! I'm sad that I missed the night out. I bought cute things to wear and special underwear and everything.
