Looking for a little stone~ma for tomorrow morning. My gall bladder will be removed in an exceedingly routine outpatient procedure. I must admit to being a little nervous. Just being here in Apocalypse amongst you who are living through major triumphs and challenges puts things in perspective - yet another reason to be thankful for b.org.

I feel fortunate knowing that I'm going to come out on the other side of this feeling ever so much better.

Sending back the ~ma to them what needs it. Even if you didn't say so. Somehow it makes me stronger too.

My MIL is undergoing surgery tomorrow for lung cancer. DH is with her so if you have any spare surgery-ma, it would be appreciated.

If I'm dark for a little while, I'm having a minor tech issue...I hope it won't come down to it but it might.

So. I'm going in for some surgery tomorrow. Any and all smooth sailing and best possible results -ma would be very much appreciated.

The diagnosis is Stage I endometrial cancer, which, if it stays ranked (?) at Stage I and hasn't progressed more than a third of the way through the uterine lining, well, that would be the best case scenario and provide for an excellent prognosis. Naturally, this is my hope.

Should only be in the hospital 2-3 days. Recovery is 4-6 weeks, during which time I expect I will be the opposite of dark around here. Prayers, good thoughts, vibes, -ma -- all very much appreciated.

looking for jobma~~~ for DH. Phone interview tomorrow. a new job that turns him from Roadboy back to Husbandman is what we are looking for

My best friend's father just passed away tonight unexpectedly. He had cancer, but it was still sudden. Now she and her brother will have to run the family business (she already works 65+ hour weeks) and she just bought a house this week.

Sincere request for -ma for her and her family in the upcoming weeks. He was a good man, and a loving father. They were close.

Requesting event-ma for our big Artists' Summit we're throwing all this week in AZ. For safety for participant, partners and students, for smooth logistics & good communication, and that the kids will enjoy the event and benefit from it. We have a filmmaker, painter, guitarist, instrument repair expert, and a goth band coming in. Should be fun.

I'm moving to Chicago in May. I think I've got everything covered but a job, and I'll be looking for one over the next two months.

It's not a big move, but in my defense, it is a whole new time zone!

Job-ma sought, my lovelies - I'm busy sending off applications like a good girl, because this job ends in 4 months' time, but the interviews they are scarce. Open minded about where I work - I've applied to Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Chicago, Boston, Prague, Bratislava, Rome and umpteen other places. Somewhere just needs to give me a job.

Somewhere where the bosses aren't secretly Wolfram and Hart, that is. Insh'allah.

I'm in LA, and it looks nice outside, so Kristin and I are planning to go to the Getty this afternoon. If anyone else wants to come, give us a call! My cell (which I expect I shall take down before we leave, so anyone who wants to stalk me, take note quickly!) is (too late!)
