I'll be at comic-con and dark until Sunday night. Wish me patience and the lack of desire to cause pain to the over abundance of humanity that will be there.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

As a believer in the efficacy of Buffista~ma, I'd like to ask that some be directed towards Bicyclops. He doesn't get around here very often anymore, although I update him on major developments at our weekly trivia game.
On Sunday, there was an unfortunate intersection of new rider, Vespa and mailbox, resulting in a destroyed knee and a leg broken in six places, including a lateral break. He has had extensive surgery, including rebuilding the knee and a plate in his leg. Right now he has a fever, possibly from pneumonia. Please aim some faster-than-expected healing and go-away-fever vibes in his direction.

To add to the requests of Buffista~ma for family members, please send some East Coast-wards for my brother and his family. Mom just called to tell me that brother and SIL are breaking up (two weeks after their 20th anniversary), and any vibes you can send to all of them, especially the three kids, would be appreciated.

Could I get some of that patented Buffista job~ma in half an hour? I've got a second iterview with an engineering consulting company (actually, a coaching session) and then an interview with the company I'd actually be working for. Thank you!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mom did end up needing a transfusion. I'm not sure if she bled more or just didn't recover enough with what they were doing. I'm pretty sure I'm going out tonight -- its nice to have roommates who'll walk the dog!

Kitty~ma requested for Persey's vet appointment tomorrow at 10am. Yesterday I found a lump under her skin that I swear was not there Wednesday but it's huge and I'm terrified.

Mom is out of ICU and on a regular ward. I saw her briefly tonight. The nurses are over burdened and took a while to get her her Demerol (If I were the eighth Hargreeves child my lame super power would be getting my Mother her pain meds) which knocked her out nicely once they did. I think the wait made her a little nostalgic for the good old days in Critical Care.
It was good to see her. Tomorrow I hit the hospital nice and early to make sure they don't discarge her yet.
(I KNOW she wants to come home... but we can't give her IVs of Demerol here, now can we? I vote end of four day blinding headache before she comes home -- all in favor say AYE!)
Thanks for the ~ma guys. It is much appreciated.

Persey has a cat fight abcess. She's having surgery today. She'll have a drain and a clown collar but she should recover just fine.

We're in Athens. We're mostly alive. I found the toolbox. The bed won't fit up the stairs. I closed the baby's finger in the car door. We locked ourselves out of the house 10 minutes after we arrived, but mr. flea broke in using a crowbar, so that was okay. The cat is missing at the moment; I think she is probably in the house somewhere but mr. flea is sure she has escaped and will be lost/killed. The poached wifi remains slow slow slow and we won't have real internet for days so I will be dim for a while. Please wish us sleep-ma. I am so tired.
