I hope Matilda is out of the NICU by now, and that JZ is enjoying all of the Natter/Bitches Hec is taking her.

Heart-ma to your dad, Teppy, and calmer thoughts to you. I hate dreams like that.

Good talk-ma to Tom.

Good first day-ma to GC.

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. Consider yourself ma-ed if I have.

What she said. My brain is the flake this morning. I need a nap.

Thanks for the ~ma, everyone. He's just been so burnt out and hating his job and generally unhappy. I'm hoping this is a good conversation. I'm nervous!

complicated. that's a good word for it.

Oof. Poor, we Matilda. I hope she's quickly out of NICU and done with the nasty tubes and monitors. Much love to you and JZ, Hec and I hope you guys can settle down with the run-of-the-mill new baby stuff.

Job-ma for Tom. DH went through some job-malaise a few months back. It's stressful, depressing and frustrating both at work and at home. I hope he can get some answers and satisfaction, Nora.

Congratulations on your nominations, NoiseDesign. It's too bad you have to miss the ceremony this year--but I hope you win and they have to have a substitute collect your statue for you.

I guess the conversation went well enough, but we'll see if what was said would be done, gets done.

Poor wee Matilda. Feel better, punkin, and get out of NICU post-hastey!

Recovery~ma to JZ.

Yay! For JZ, Hec and Emmett on NEW BABY!!

Happy Birthday, Nicole!!

~ma to Teppy and Tom

A belated congratulations to JZ, Hec & Emmett on the arrival of Matilda. Speedy out-of-NICU to Matilda, and fast healing to JZ.

Also, ~ma to Teppy's dad for the angiogram & ~kidney-ma to Suzi's mom. Good health to all Buffistas & loved ones.

Happy B-day to Nicole, since I'm de-lurking with good wishes.

ION, my boss just bought everyone (ok, just the women) flowers. I have to say, arranging flowers is more fun than answering phones.

All~clear~ma to the Zmayhems, easy~procedure~ma to Tep's dad, job~ma to TomW, and other assorted ~mas to them what needs it.

I'm just going to point to what juliana said and nod emphatically, because that's what was going through my head.

Phew. Although September has not come close to the suckiness of August, it's sure as hell been a complicated month, hasn't it?

Yeah, it really has. All sorts of people I'm fond of have had ... not horrible things, just chaotic things happen.

Oh, Matilda. Poor little sweetie.

Hec, much love to JZ, Matilda, Emmett, and you.

Teppy, heart health to your dad and a sense of peace to you.

Nora, all kinds of ~ma for you and Tom.

Good luck, Drew.
