Request for interview~ma.
I have a phone interview at 5:30 my time (3:30 Pacific) for a position in one of the bank offices out in SF. I really want this, so that I can make the transition/move with a minimum of worry. So please, send good thoughts and "don't babble too much"~ma toward me then.
Thanks!
My cell phone commited ritual sacrifice by throwing itself out of the car and under my tires. It's tragic but I should have a new one maybe Monday-ish. Until then, email?
Also available on DebetEsse's cell until late-ish Sunday morning.
Memorial services are ambivalent until I determine how recently I backed up. If I didn't lose anything, we can bow our heads in thanks.
Releasing pet health ~ma back into the wild.
Bartleby's oral surgery ended up being much more complex than anticipated. He went in for one broken tooth, but the docs found a jaw abscess and took out two.
He's still in pain, but recovering nicely. What a relief. Many thanks for all good thoughts.
Headed to the Outer Banks for the next week. See you all when I get back. Enjoy turkey!
Right. I suppose I ought to post this here? I've not been feeling well for quite some time, and it's probably because I have incredibly high blood pressure. I'm waiting on bloodwork to see if they can find out why, and beginning the quest to find a bp medication that actually works for me.
shhh... christmas stuff!
Yay. My MRI showed no signs of a tumor or MS.
Next, I get to see yet another specialist - someone who's specialization more closely matches my (latest) diagnosis: a swollen optic nerve.
It sounds like the prognosis for this diagnosis is more positive than for the previous diagnosis, so yay for that too.
You know that Bloom County cartoon, where Opus is moping because his mother hasn't sent him a card or a present for Christmas, and then his friends present him with a present and card that is supposedly from his mother, but when he opens it it's a space-type helmet, and the last panel is him wearing it and saying "I got the best friends in all known space!" You know that one?
Yeah, that's the way I feel right about now. I really do. You guys are wonderful, and thank you all so very much.

Bay area peeps: I will be returning to your fair environs from Jan 21st to the 29th. During the week (23rd to 27th) I will be in a bellydance workshop till about 4 pm, and maybe taking more classes at night (depending on money, soreness/fatigue, and just how crazy I'm feeling). I'd like to get together with people, whether it be one big thing or a few smaller things. At some point I'm going to try and see my buddy A in Monterrey (though I hope he'll be in the city by then). Not sure how that's going to work. I know it's still several weeks away - I thought for once I'd give some advance notice.
I'm also looking for a place or places to stay. Proximity to BART station a plus, as Suhaila's school is in El Cerrito. I don't make a big mess, I'll buy groceries, and I'm going to do my damndest NOT to get strep throat this time.
If you're interested in getting together and/or letting me crash, shoot me an email at my profile addy or drop a comment in this lj post.
Anyone who would like a holiday card from me, please email me with your address!
