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.
Test results came back today. According to the ultrasound all my innards are apparently where they belong and in the correct shape, so all is well there. However, the blood test revealed I have a stomach infection.
Fortunately, taking a ridiculous number of pills every day for two weeks should clear it up, so all is more-or-less well.
I release the health~ma back into the wild.
My beloved Aunt Mary Jo, of Pope-killing fame, had a quickly scheduled hysterectomy this morning.
The bad news is that it is cancer.
The good news is that it appears to be contained.
I am working very hard to believe the medical members of my family who are insisting that this is good news as far as cancer goes.
If anyone is interested in buying presale tickets for Eddie Izzard, e me at my profile addy for the presale code.
Buffistas!
I have a book reading & signing coming up at Booksmith (scroll down. Pause to note that I am there one week before Anne Lamott) on Friday, March 14th, at 7pm.
Please come!
I promise to be engaging and funny. And there will be drinking afterwards.
As an extra added incentive, we will have JZ and Matilda there wearing matching gingham dresses!
