Happy birthday, P-C!

And YAYAYAY bt and Wallybee! What utterly fantastic news to wake up to!

September does need to be more gentle with Kristin's shoulder and solicitous toward vw's mom, but in general it is well and truly kicking August's ass.

{{Deena}} Also hee. When I read your post it all seemed so familiar.

Lovely to read Kara's words yesterday.

I'll pass on the cupcakes.

Now I need to scroll back and see what happened to Suzi....

Are there times when heat works? Because when my lower back hurts, the idea of ice makes me shudder, as well as being kind of problematic logistically.

I think it depends on the type of injury and the timing. If lifting whatever yesterday injured (or exacerbated) Kristin's shoulder, then for at least the first 48 hours, ice is better.

There are times I need heat. My pinched nerve in my neck prefers heat when it's acting up, although I will ice it at times; I decide by a combination of feel and timing.

Left over cupcakes? What's that?

I had a wheelbarrow fall off the truck in front of me on the freeway making me vear into the next lane over which was occupied by another very large truck, luckily driven by someone with good reactions.

Eeeep! Suzi, what an awful way to start the day. Glad you are ok. Guess you won't need coffee now. That'll wake ya.

Left over cupcakes? What's that?

We don't have any sweet lovers in my house. If I make cupcakes everyone scrambles to try them, then they get left until I toss them. It's like they like them in theory. Cookies do a bit better, but still get tossed. Fruit never gets wasted. They don't eat bread either so it may be a texture thing.

Dude. If they've got that much, how about giving all four people 20 MB? If they've got that much, and they are sending multiple messages to each person here per day that they are over their limit, why not just expand it?

ah, we've been having this conversation with our computer people for ages, we get 8MB. They say the solution is to program your Outlook to move the mail into a personal folder, which does in fact solve the problem, but it means that you can't check your mail if you are out of town, because it's no longer on the server.

Cutiehead artist guy just asked me to lunch.

Whee!

I don't actually like cake that much. I tried to give them to the neighbors and got there just as she was mixing up her own batch. Dang it.

vw, all the best to your mom, today. Good thoughts and prayers coming her way. I didn't mean that to rhyme, but at least it's not mime. I hope you're doing okay. (Oh, as usual, dear.)

Yay for billytea!

Hugs for Cass and Kittenish.

Happy Birthday, PC!

Ok. I’m officially a mess. Finally got to sleep sometime after 2am, which is not good in vw sleep land. So, of course, I overslept…well into my first class. Got up and decided to just shower and go to the hospital. Call dad to tell him I’ll be there in an hour, and he mom decided I needed to go to whatever classes I could make it to. So, now I am not only beating myself up for oversleeping but also for thinking that I could be an adult and make a decision that I’d rather be at the hospital while my mother is having surgery. Can’t stop crying. Must get in shower so I can leave.

I’m so stressed, I think I might explode.

I'm sorry about the stress, vw. Keep breathing. If it helps, hip surgery was the easiest bout of surgery my family has gone through, with the quickest recovery and the most dramatic improvement.
