Update on Johnson:

The office of Senator Tim Johnson has released the following at approximately 5pm ET:

Admiral John Eisold, Attending Physician of the United States Capitol said, "Senator Tim Johnson has continued to have an uncomplicated post-operative course. Specifically, he has been appropriately responsive to both word and touch. No further surgical intervention has been required."

Compassionately intolerant

I opened it and inside was a tiny boxwood "tree", maybe 18" tall (I think it's boxwood branches in florist foam in a tree shape). It's got a big gold bow on top, red berries, and big gold jingle bells on gold cord wrapped around. And a tiny tree skirt! Besest friend ever!

I've seen those at Eastern Market and am seriously considering it. Either that, or hanging my nice ornaments off a pretty ribbon over my notsomuchanymore!fireplace.

Would a ficus plan object to having ornaments hung on it? Cuz I have two of those.

The Modest Needs link just solved my dilemma over the last two gifts on my list. Yay for the great idea!

eta: I spoke to a cardiologist about Johnson today. He does aortal imaging research (he even commented on how incredibly niche that is) and is a vehement Dem. He's looked over all the Johnson stories and is pretty hopeful. We ended our discussion about it with every appendage crossed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone who is or will be in NY feel like beating someone up for me?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ah, what the hell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today my sinuses are in revolt.

And I'm finding myself making the hotel arrangements for our vacation within my vacation in Jamaica, and charging $200 of stuff at Barnes & Nobles.

So much for a stress-light holiday.

Now I have to put aside clothes for the krav staff & student shindig. Which I don't want to go to, but I told Z (who we haven't seen in ages) to turn up.

Hmm? I'd totally volunteer one of my parents' spare rooms!

Who am I beating up?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does anyone who is or will be in NY feel like beating someone up for me?

If it can wait until tomorrow, I'm totally in.
