Crap, Daniel!
Meanwhile, I'd like to ask for -ma of the SortThingsOutSomehowAndKeepPeopleSafe variety for my friend Soph, whose boyfriend is a Kenyan lad called Linus. So far he and his sister (whom he saved from genital mutilation, at the cost of the pair of them being exiled from the tribe - why yes, he is indeed a Damn Good Bloke) have not been injured in the mighty shitstorm of badness that has been going down in Kenya, although his uncle has been murdered, as have many friends. Soph, who's stuck in the UK and very much hasn't the money to help him in any way, has been freaking out for the past couple of months.
I realise that this is rather a large thing to ask -ma for, but since it's our equivalent of lighting a candle, I figured what the hell. Let's send some good protective vibes their way.
A little job~ma at 2:00pm today please. Joe is going to a customer service call at a Major Book Retailer in Ann Arbor.
Buffista ~ma is the most amazing thing out there. I have to thank you all for what you have given me over the years.
If there is any to spare after job~ma for Joe, I'd appreciate a bit of family~ma for me. We have some stuff going on that I'm not ready to detail, but could use some calming~ma as things are sorted.
I thought I was going to have more connected time on this trip, but it looks like I'm dark grey through Sunday, 3/2. Having fun, though, and the whole breathing thing is officially doing better!
I'd like a little "let it be easily diagnosible and treatable"~ma if anyone can spare it, please. I've been having stomach pains and bouts of nausea for the last two weeks. Still waiting on the results of the blood test and the doctor is sending me in for an ultrasound tomorrow morning to check for gall stones and/or other funkiness.
On the plus side, I'll finally find out if my gall bladder is a boy or a girl.
~ma for mr. flea at 11 this morning - he is having coffee with a high-up EPA person to talk about possible Dream Job 2.0! He showered and shaved and trimmed his bead and
moisturized his chappy hands
that's how nervous he is.
I will be perfoming with The Nat Turner Revue this Friday night in Watertown Mass at the Arsenal Center for the Arts as the guests of Improv Jones Boston.

I have no clue how close Watertown is to anybody, but I'd love it if you'd come out!!!!
profile addy is good
~ma requested for my cat, Josie. Taking her to the vet at 9AM to see where we stand and I know it won't be good news. Just hoping for a little more time with her.
~ma for GF, too. She is having gum surgery (EW!) today at 1:30.
ETA: Kitty is in animal hospital getting rehydrated for 2-4 days. ~ma for continued hydration at home post-hospital.
I need advice. Ms Havisham and I are attending NY Comic Con in two months, and last year we ended up staying out by Newark Airport, and that did not work out well at all. The year before that we stayed with Buffistas (Hi Trudy!) but that option is not available this year.
It looks like the only way we are going to spend less that 250 a night is stay out in Jersey, but I thought I would ask here and see if the hivemind can offer us any suggestions...
I am looking for speakers of either Acadian or Quebec French, to get the feel and slang of those particular dialects. If anyone can help me, drop me a line at the profile's email.
