Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

{{{Nora}}} You're not an asshole. This stuff is stressful. The agent is used to dealing with that. Can I do anything? Can I bring you a cup of coffee or tea or steal you away for lunch or anything?

steal you away for lunch or anything

HAHAHAHA! I got to step away from my desk for lunch yesterday, that's it for the rest of the month! :) Thanks, vw. I'll let you know if there's anything.

I just need to get a hold of myself. It's hard. This stuff is just feeding so easily into the issues of overwork I've been having, it's hard to make it go away. Which, of course makes it harder to work, which results in more stuff piling up.

I'm back at my old therapist's on Monday. That's a hopeful thought. I feel like I'm drowning in fatigue and self-pity.

I have forgotten everything I learned in school. I have discovered this by trying to study for the next Actuarial Exam. All the formulas I used to know that should be popping into the useful areas of my memory as I review seem to be just plain gone.

(((Nora))). I'm sure no one is mad at you.

-t, ack. Do you have a study partner who might help?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have forgotten everything I learned in school.

How long has it been? The half-life of (unused) mathematical knowledge is pretty short (two years?) - I'd imagine actuarial knowledge would be similar.

I think it took me about five or six years to forget every actuarial formula I ever learned. Maybe I should look some up for old time's sake....

Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box! Ticky box!

This surges to the top of my list of favorite names ever.

Plus? My very best friend in the world was named Elizabeth Lillian. And Esme is just so romantic.

Supreme congrats to all the Princess' minions.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Welcome to the world, Lillian!

Oh, that's a bummer, Nora. I got a little excited about possible Nora lunch for a second. Well, take care of yourself, and definitely let me know if you need anything. I'm at home all day today doing laundry and stuff, so I'm available.
