DCistas, I have 3 vouchers for food at Union Station. They are good until 12/31/09. If you'd like a free lunch, let me know and I'll mail 'em to you.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey, if anyone has any spare "find the right job"~ma floating around, I'd like it. My last day here is on Friday, so I am now officially in the hunt.

Trust my rage
Ellie is home from the hospital and happy to be here. A big thanks to everyone who sent stuff. She had a great time opening envelopes, looking at cards, and playng with all the stuff. This community doesn't surprise me, because I know how great we are, but it does make me very happy.

A little Mom-ma would help. It seems that she's got a collapsing vertebra now, so I'm heade back to PA to help with doctor's appointments and general-purpose hand-holding. Perhaps a little coping-ma for me might help, too.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, after being very grayish 'round these parts and elsewhere to take care of all the preparations, tomorrow is the day. I check into the hospital and prepare to go under the knife for some very much needed girly bits surgery.
Yes, I'm trying to make light of it because frankly, I'm nervous and scared pretty much out of my tiny little mind. Anyhow, any good thoughts or ~ma that anyone has to send my way, I'd very much appreciate it.
See y'all on the flip side.
Oh, I will have my iPhone with me so I can get texts & emails, but I don't guarantee to be coherent for a few days.

If I could request some health- and job-ma for my sister M. She got laid off last month, and then just got diagnosed with lupus.
She was all ironical about it in that she was worried the diagnosis was going to be cancer but, as she said, "But, nooo, I have to get something weirder." If she watched House I would have shared another irony with her, but since she doesn't, it would take too much explaining.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My dear friend Donna Burley passed away last night. She fought a brave battle with breast cancer for three years. I'm sad for myself that I did not get to say my good-byes in person as I had planned to this week, but I am also relieved that she is no longer suffering.

A small glimmer of yay in all this sad news: I was made permanent staff at my job, with health insurance and everything. One step closer to being a for-real adult...

ND and I will be dark gray until next Saturday, the 4th. We are on a ship with his family. Wish us smooth sailing and a whole lot of patience! We won't have phone access but will check our email once a day. See ya on the other side.
