Okay, so not apocalyptic, but still damn exciting to me:
Franny rolled over all by herself today. We've reached a minor milestone, which is good. I can no longer leave her on the bed unattended, which is bad.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I could use a bit of positive vibing aimed at San Francisco tomorrow morning. It's the one-year MRI, to see whether the Avonex is even remotely handling the spread of the MS lesions. Plus, following that with bloodwork, to check organ function. Fun! (not)

I have been impressed by the efficacy of Buffista-ma, and I'd like to ask for some surgery-ma for tomorrow. The surgery is at 2 (Eastern time) and I may or may not have to stay overnight. A few vibes for being able to come home -- I believe that hospitals are evil, dangerous places -- would be good too, plus perhaps a dash of recovery-ma and coping-ma.

I am on my way to Virginia and lots of family time. May be pretty gray. Have a great week, all!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got my first grad school final at 12:30 today. Any exam-ma would be greatly appreciated.

And whatever ma could be spared toward my finishing this hellish semester in some decent shape would also be appreciated. I just need it for the next week!

Our wings are not tired
Oh my doG.
I can't even find the words for how surprised I am. The Buffistas are truly the best. I received a box today with a bottle of 10 year old scotch, a really cool CD made by Hec (I'm listening to it right now) and A UTILIKILT! Most importantly it contained more love than I could imagine. I can't believe that you guys did this for me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I owe each and every one of you a big wet sloppy kiss on the lips!
I'm crying now.
Thank you, so much!

Thanks for the good vibes. I did get to come home last night. The doctor called this morning to check on me and said that the nurses had been surprised that I was going home, because they'd never seen anyone go home the same day from this surgery. The doctor said he told them, "She's a unique individual, and she wants to go home." I seem to be feeling pretty good today, but that may be the percocet talking.
