I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, I guess I am returning to the world. Still probably dark grey for a while, but I will lurk and catch up when I can.

I don't have to tell you guys, buffistas are amazing. But I do have to tell you, because my heart is so full from knowing y'all are out there, with everything else that goes on and all your own concerns and can somehow take the time to think of me. I have the beautiful plant Lee brought me on Henry's nightstand where it looks just perfect and truly brightens my day every time I see it. I haven't even taken in everything else you sent with her.

Thank you so much.

Eta: Oh dear lord I just saw my tagline. Wholly inappropriate or perfect, I can't decide.

Our beloved dog Zoe died suddenly tonight. Cause is unknown, but given her age, almost 13, not probably worth investigating. She was much loved and will be greatly missed by her humans.

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

Could I get a bit of ~ma for my mom, please? Her eyesight continues to deteriorate as a result of diabetic retinopathy, and the retinal specialist told her today that she is now legally blind in her left eye. In addition, the retina is completely detached and she essentially has a hole in the back of her eye. She now has to decide if she wants a vitrectomy (gas bubble injected in the back of the eye that will allow the retina to reattach) to restore a good portion of her sight, or leave things as they are. General anesthesia and the absolute necessity of remaining face-down for two weeks after surgery complicate the decision.

So a little right decision~ma and eyesight~ma would not be remiss. Please, please don't let any diabetics in your life neglect their eyesight. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Apparently my 24 year old nephew josh is going to walk across the US.

Any spare anti-killed/mugged/beaten ~ma would be appreciated.

This is totally random, but please go to MTV TJ and nominate me to be an MTV Twitter Jockey?

I mean, a 41yo mother who grew up in a town where MTV was banned? How cool would that be?!?

Plus, my tweets would force MTV to have to decide how much snark is too much.

If you do, please use my Twitter: @m3ta4 (metaphor)

Thanks!

Hi, y'all.

As many of you know, I got married in a simple courthouse ceremony in April. Well, we are planning on having a backyard reception 9/25 Saturday. We live in Kansas City (Prairie Village, KS) and I just wanted to see if anyone was interested in getting an invite. I know people are way far-flung, but you never know!

It will be just a casual, fun backyard late afternoon/evening event, with dancing from the ipod mix, drinks, food and cupcakes.

Email my profile addy if there's a possibility you can come, and I will send you an invite -- when they get all printed.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Could I get some lower BP and Proteins ~~ ma for my sister? She's 35 weeks tomorrow and her BP is elevating and the proteins in her urine were pretty elevated so she's showing the classic signs of pre-eclampsia. Best case is that today was just a one-off cause she's moving this weekend and is a little stressed and everything goes according to plan. Worse case is that she has to be induced this weekend. So vibes of lower BP and "stay, baby stay" would be highly appreciated.
