I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Releasing the job~ma. I didn't get the dean position, but it sounds like I may be making inroads into another opportunity, so we'll see.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Having computer issues--possibly our router, possibly our laptop but defiitely going to be various shades of gray until we get it resolved.

A little house~ma would also be appreciated. If we can get a clear inspection later this week, we can finally get the company buy-out we were promised and get out from under one of our two mortgages. The last inspector dinged us because the stairs leading to the basement in the old house were "not level." @@ All the issues should be resolved and we've paid the last contractor so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi all. Just a quick beep me post to let everyone know that I'm being admitted to the hospital up here in Pasadena so they can monitor my lungs and the progress of the pneumonia. The doctor is optimistic about my prognosis, and it sounds like I'll only be in for a day or two, so no worries. All will be well. Not sure how much internet access I will have, though, so contacting ND is probably the best way to go if you want updates.

Lung-healing ~ma would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, everyone.

move out and draw fire

House~ma for me as well? Waiting to hear on our bid. One half of the selling couple has accepted it; we're waiting for the other.

And if we do get the house, Home Depot and DIY~ma? It needs a bit of work.

I'm getting the pig!

Lung healing ~ma to you, Kristin!

And as she goes into the hospital, I just got released, following an array of tests ordered by my cardiologist. If you have some extra vibes lurking about in a corner or something, please to be thinking healthy heart thoughts in my direction. Thanks!

I was released from the hospital tonight and am (very happily) home. I still have a long way to go to regain my health fully, but so long as I am careful, I should slowly get better from now on. Thanks for all the ~ma, everyone.

Punishingly Intricate

Hey SF-istas! I'll be in your town at the end of May/beginning of June and would love to meet / see anyone who like to meet/see me! I think the F2F thread is mostly being used for F2F conversation at the moment so probably the best way to plan is to email me at my profile address.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

A little job~ma, please? I've just sent off a resume and cover letter for what is pretty much my dream job.

Thanks!
