Much healthma to Deena's niece.

And anti-coldma to Plei. No one should have a cold in April even if they're not pregnant. I so decree it.

My dad has had two sessions of chemo so far, and except for the nausea he's doing fine. He doesn't have any more chemo for a couple of weeks, but has radiation every day next week.

Chiming in with the vw love :)

Also, a manager of another dept. bought me this as a thank you for helping her team ("going above and beyond"): [link]

She knows me well, methinks.

Jess, that's frelling hilarious!

That would be THE finger monkey, wouldn't it?

It's a darn cute monkey, but the line along the bottom of one little monkey foot makes me suspicious that it may have been Photoshopped onto an entirely undeserving finger.

Oh, it is -- the journal it's from is entitled "Yahoo's Most Photoshopular."

But I love it anyway.

Lots and lots of ~ma for Deena's neice and family.

vw, I'm very proud of you.

Plei! What do you mean you're getting a cold?! Should we not have taken you out for treats on Wednesday night?

My totem animal is either a crow or a rabbit; I will probably never get a tattoo of either, even though Clovis has been lobbying for years that I get a tattoo of him.

It's my mother's fault, I swear, so it has nothing to do with me going out. When they got back from Canada on Tuesday, she was fighting one off. Which she managed just fine, but not without somehow spreading it to me, damn it. (Okay, it's also possible that I managed to pick something up during the nine zillion hours I was at the clinic yesterday. It's just more fun to blame my mother.)

I'm drinking plenty of fluids and not exerting myself at all. Hopefully, I can trick it into leaving me the hell alone.

Thanks for all the ~ma guys. I'll let you know how she does when I know.

Totally random: Now I want a finger monkey. Dang.

NO COLDS. Plei cannot be going through delivery (or the run up to it) with a cold. It needs to go away right now.

VW, go you with the day of school when you didn't want to/didn't think you could do it. That's awesome.

I would get a tattoo, but since psoriasis attacks injury sites and I really don't want more of the stuff, I don't think it's a good thing for me to get one.

My totem animal changes with my mood. Right now I think it's the giraffe. Though it's probably the seal. Maybe it's a shapechanger.

I would tattoo a raven on me. Life is pretty chaotic already. I think he'd feel right at home. You know, so perfect he felt no need to do anything worse, so he could just relax and enjoy it. I think I'd even find it comforting. Sort of an acknowledgement that there are constants, even in chaos.

My totem animal is roadkill.

See -- blame your mother AND CANADA.
