Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

My uncle just went into the hospital. They don't know what's wrong, but he is unable to stand. An MRI came back normal. I would appreciate any healing ~ma for him, strength ~ma for my father (who will probably end up with much of the mental, emotional and physical care), and diagnostical ~ma for his doctors. Thank you so much.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Ugh. My grandfather had a mildish heart attack today, and his health insurance runs out tommorrow at midnight. It seems like everyone needs ~ma today, but if there is any super-speedy recovery~ma left sitting around they'd want to send him, it'd be much appriciated.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Posted this in Bitches, but I should have posted here.

In other news, Customer Service Temp job has changed.

When I got to the orientation meeting for job today, I was told that the company had been informed by the client that the project was on hold. There would be no training day Friday, and the three-week project was off.

However, they have another project that has training tomorrow, and full blown work on Thursday. The other project could use us, and it is 6 to 8 weeks, and would anyone be willing to do that?

Silly question. Plus? they changed my hours to 9-5:30 instead of 8:30-5pm, so that'll work out better, too.

Still, I will keep looking for better work while I'm employed.

A mememe update. My RSI has undergone major improvement; I can now type eight hours (with appropriate breaks and exercises) without problems.

I now pass the health karma along to the next person who needs it. I am also getting small amounts of work, but not as much as I like, so jobma remains welcome.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Going darkish to dark until 1/21.

Going to Chicago, with minimal Net access, next week. Followed by taking Hubs to Charlottesville for medical tests (nothing life-threatening) the week after.

Kidding. Sort of.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

My uncle is home from the hospital today. It looks like all the problems are related to some special kind of irregular heartbeat, but fortunately, it seems that they are able to control it with medication. Releasing health most ~ma to the universe, although I would appreciate small amounts for his continued healing. Thanks all!
