I have books from my public library which I took out over 4 years ago. I am not sure what I should do. But you are not alone, nor even aws bad as I am.

My library has an online renewal option.
So does ours, but I think not for ILL books.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No problem, Cass.Cookbook Buffistas rock like rocking things at 350 ° for 25 minutes. Or, you know, thanks.
I just view overdue library books as an opportunity to donate to the library.Me too. It's my way of giving back to the system. I keep the books with less guilt and happily hand over the cash when I do return them knowing that my sloth helps bring other books there to live too.
dropping incendiary terms like quadraplegic. Sure, he says I'm at no more risk than your average joe of becoming one. But damage is already done in the listener's mind.Like the bird flu could eventually turn into a pandemic! . Not that we're in danger of a pandemic! mind you. Just that if the pathogen mutates in about ten specific ways, a pandemic! is possible. Not that we want you to worry or anything... Because it's no more likely than any other bug evolving and wiping out people. No, really, don't worry any more than usual.
Grrrrr.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, grrrrr.
I'm worried that Kristin has drowned under all her grading - last heard from at essay #18!
I didn't so much drown as succumb. I gave up at #23 when it was nearly 3AM. I have to complete 24-62 today and tonight. After three hours of sleep, I dragged myself to work (or rather ND dragged me to work since I'm still reliant on him to get around until my car is fixed) and have been entering grades into my gradebook and getting my lessons ready for today and tomorrow. I have one class to teach this afternoon, but otherwise today is all about writing the rest of the narratives. I emailed my department head and explained the situation, and she agreed to let me hand them in late tomorrow given the circumstances of the last week. I spent nearly 30 hours grading and writing narratives between Friday and Monday, and I'm still not done. I'm so tired and drained that I could weep.

ita is there a basis for the PT's concern?
The krav tests are very grueling from everything you've said, and you've been dealing with concussion after-effects for a long time now.
I get that the PTs breached a boudary, but do you think your regular doctor would give you clearance to take the brown belt test if they knew how much hard contact you'd be receiving (and dishing out, of course). The tests push you to exhaustion, right? It's not just a matter of mastering forms like in some martial arts, but a purposefully designed high stress experience?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Unless I'm mistaken, ita doesn't have a century-long history of periodically turning into a parapalegic, with known cues that allow scientists to roughly predict when the next wave is going to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've already talked to one of my doctors, Hec, and his response was to schedule the nerve block he thinks I need anyway right before the test.
This is a guy who's actually seen the MRI/MRA/CT scan/yadda yadda, and has a medical degree to boot. I have mentioned it offhand to my neurologist and will be discussing it with her in more detail in less than a week.
ALL of them get to have opinions. None of them get to go over my head and prevent me from doing it. Fuck that noise.
Also, the instructors already know I'm injured. None of them want me truly broken. I've explicitly said that I need to start taking the test. I'd like to finish it, but stuff happens. I'd like to pass it too, but we'll see how it goes.

This reminds me of a story in Freakonomics about an Israeli daycare center charging parents a fine if they were late to pick up their kids -- the number of late pickups increased dramatically, because the relatively small fine and no guilt were a better deal than before. When they abolished the fines, the number of late pickups stayed about the same, since now there was no price and no guilt. (Not trying to imply it's the same, since with the library there's less inconvenience in late returns than for daycare personnel working late. Just that it reminded me of a nifty story.)
