Any time anybody surpasses a therapist's predictions it puts pep in my step...if I had a step.(I did not manage to surpass*quite* that much.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not just your imagination:
More frequent floods and drought, blamed by some scientists on global warming, brought a near 20 percent rise in natural disasters in 2005, researchers said on Monday.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So, if you ever have to fight a cleaning robot, would you yell, "Khagora khooma, Roomba!"?
DING DING DING! I think I finally have a name for my Roomba!
There's no pink belt, is there?

Swouncing
I remember when you taught me that phrase and I kept forgetting it.
You pronounced it perfectly, though.
Oh, and to make the profanity really authentic, with the Hebrew words, it should probably be in Arabic. They have the juiciest swearing words.
OK, I'm really not here. I'm grading. I have four piles to finish before Sunday, and one of them is only going to be handed in tomorrow (which mean, um, Thursday or Friday, in Israel-clock), so I'm. Not. Here.
[Edit: "pink belt" = "khagora vrooda". And now I'm really truly madly deeply not here. No matter how much I miss posting with you guys.]

Not saying hi to Nilly, who is not here.
Timelies all. I need someone to reset the clock a few hours, because I've gotten nothing done today.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also taking a sick day today. Saw the doctor for my third respiratory ick this winter. Got a prescription for my third run of antibiotics of the winter.
I'm beginning to hate my sinuses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, Fred. Have you tried acupuncture? It worked like magic on my sinus problems.
My plans for today are to call the chiro at 9:05 and see if I can get an appointment for today, shower, find breakfast and see if I can schedule a cheapie massage for today. Unfortunately my gym has no flexibility classes today, and I don't want to risk taking yoga since they may make me do something strength-related, and I don't have any of that to give away right now. I'm moving around, and the body's feeling better slowly.
I have no idea where I'll be having breakfast, but I feel I can treat myself to someone else's pancakes and sausage.

Dear Other Client,
You submitted a request approximately 30 minutes ago. Please don't send my account executives to freak out on me for at least a full hour.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
A man with a loose shoelace fell down a flight of stairs in the Fitzwilliam Museum
Oh man. When I was 16, I fell down a long marble stairway at the Glyptotek in Copenhagen. I was wearing clogs and tripped. Luckily, the Glyptotek didn't have any valuables in or around that stairway so all I killed was my pride.
