I talked with my sister today. Seems Friday they got word, my BiL has a job!!! He starts Wednesday! Thank you all for the ~ma! It does work!! I release it back into the wild, so that it can help others in need.

(xposty in Bitches)

OK. Here goes: I'm gonna need some ~ma tomorrow for initial contact about something that I know I can do, only it's in a certain respected place with esteemed people. And one of them will have to see the light and to OK me, which might and will be the tricky part.

Some people around me think it might be a wonderful thing for a lot of people and for the place. I don't know what to think, other than that it sounds great and I want it, and that I'm somewhat scared of esteemed people's thoughts of me and my performance. Oh, and did I mention it can solve some Very Serious Worries I currently have? So that's what and why I need the ~ma for.

And thank you! I really can't wait to stop being so secretive and tell you what it's all about, but I need to be after the initial contacts and get the "OK" in order to do so. There are very amusing parts about the whole thing, trust me. I'm sure your powerful~ma will help.

Update: I got in! Thank you all very much, and I'm releasing back the ~ma.

While I am much, much better, my beloved 'surrogate' mom, Niki is in a very bad way.

She has had two heart attacks in the last week, and then contracted pneumonia in the hospital. (we are keeping it in the family, at least)

Tomorrow, she is supposed to have an exploratory procedure to determine if she will have open heart surgery. This seems a likely outcome and her prognosis going onto the table is quite bad.

I got to see her this evening, which was great. And, unlike her other recent illnesses, I'm mostly okay with whatever happens. Being so sick myself has firmly shifted me into the 'no suffering please' camp.

Please, right outcome ~ma directed at Takoma Park, MD, Monday the 11th.

Can I get some Please let this one be nothing-ma for this afternoon? I have to go in for a thyroid biopsy around 2:30 board time.

Happy National Coming Out Day everyone! Columbus schmalumbus, let's be fabulous!

A lovely woman I work with was pregnant with twins last year and lost the babies. She got pregnant again this year--again with twins, which her doctor said was REALLY rare--and is now on bedrest for early labor. She is almost to week 28, which is a good thing, but more time for the babies-ma would be much appreciated.

Can I request some fairly industrial-strength sort-it-out-ma? Work is the kind of happy that is un right now, and I rather desperately need A Plan, and preferably a better one than "hide under the covers and feel sorry for myself until it goes away".

My youngest sister is having emergency surgery on her gall bladder which is, apparently, "full of stones".

I can't help thinking that with health insurance it might not have gotten this advanced without being detected.

So ma to the kid. I'll let you know when she's out.

I applied for another job that I actually am qualified for and want. This usually means I won't get it, but if I could get a little job~ma, I might catch a break this time.

Requesting a little more legal ~ma for the situation with She Who Will Not Be Named. She's way overstepped her bounds and I'm trying to figure out what steps to take that don't involve physical violence.
