What is even happening?

Happy Anniversary, Jacqueline and David!!!

Plei, that was the cutest write-up of wedding weekend.

Ooof, vw. I was just calming down from my morning. I'm so glad you just have an inconsiderate, oddball neighbor with a poor sense of time.

Julia's eye is fine and per the ophthalmologist, already beginning to heal. He recommended we only apply the antibiotic ointment at bedtime, so that it doesn't hinder her vision. I got quite stressed mid-exam, because she clearly could only read the top half of the eye chart with her injured eye, but could read all of it with the other eye. The doctor said it was just the ointment blurring her vision. I was skeptical, but he said her eye looked great (and I could tell he thought it completely unnecessary for us to be there, which is what we wanted to hear).

For those wondering what I'm talking about, the last couple of entries in my lj explain. The short story is, Chris poked Julia in the eye yesterday, and then later, she poked herself. She seemed fine for most of the day, until 7pm. She & Scott went to the E.R. and were there until 1:30am. We followed up with an eye specialist today, and he said she's already beginning to heal. Little does he know, that's because she's a slayer.

And I'm nearly slain from the stress of her not being able to read the chart. Oog. Argh. Ack.

Trust me, Cindy, as someone who has scratched their cornea and had to use ooky eye ointments, the not reading the chart was quite normal. It takes a loooong time for the ointment to wash out of the eye through tears and blinking.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Cindy and Julia}} Eye injuries are so very scary.

Sail, and Laura, thank you.

That's nice to hear, Sail, because even though well schooled specialist said it was just the ointment, I had a niggling doubt. I had my cornea scratched by a pencil when I was nine, but I don't remember what I could and couldn't see after, and had to wear a patch for a few days, anyhow. I know when I've used the ointment antibiotic (erythromiacin), it's left my vision blurry.

It's hard being the mommy. We should have warned the younger ones, huh? I have to calm myself down (I always get worked up *after* the crisis is over) and be thankful for our great report and my slayer-fast healing girl.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Congrats to JZ and Hec! Bless! Doesn't time fly?

VW, that sounds ghastly. Bloody hell. Go Team Emily! You both sound to have dealt with it heroically.

So, in breaking news: I am racist. Apparently.

Huh.

Go figure.

If only you'd known, earlier. Think of all the time you've wasted.

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

What happened, Fay?

Fay, we all knew that. You big racist you. No, wait...WTF?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Anniversary, Zmayhem!!! As it's your paper anniversary, then my wish for you is that your life together is as beautiful as really swanky expensive stationery -- the kind with a heavy weave and a deckled edge.

What? Paper anniversary is hard!

Fay, WTF? Did you suddenly realize that those weren't bedsheets, they were really KKK robes? You are possibly literally the last person who comes to mind when I think "racist."

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the Holocaust vid?
