Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hi there. So I just applied for a permanent placement in my job. I really really want it as it would give me a fantastic job that I love that allows me to spend my days with Em, summers off, kick-ass health insurance, and entrance into the teacher's union. Please send the job ~~~ ma.

Good morning!

May I please have some 'best possible outcome' ~ma?

I have finished my financial aid application for Sibley hospital just under the deadline and am completely stressed out. It's being delivered today and I really need for the evaluating committee to be on my side. If they are, it could have positive long-term implications for both my physical and financial health.

All good thoughts deeply appreciated.

The committee meets this Friday!

Art Crawl!!!

And I'm here to ask for "Healthy Heart~ma" or "it really wasn't so bad~ma" for my stress test at 3 pm Central (and my doctor's visit about my labs at 2 pm central.)

Thanks, everyone.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

If I could have some "it's nothing"-ma. I had a small bump on my nose removed and they are performing a biopsy on it, and it would just be so much better if it's nothing.

The good news is that I have no other potential signs for skin cancer, which is amazing considering how light-skinned I am and how much I used to burn as a kid. It doesn't seem to be a thing in our family though (light-skinned or skin cancer), so that may be why.

So I've already heard that thing I hoped was nothing turned out to be just that. So I release any -ma sent my we into the ether.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Could I have some ~ma for my aunt, cousins, and mom? My uncle passed away yesterday, quietly in his sleep after a long illness. But, it's always sudden, you know?

not your mom's socks.

SFistas - if everything goes according to plan, the Sox family will be in your area on Dec. 5 for a 20-hour layover. We won't have a car, but should be able to taxi from SFO to meet up. Anyone interested in meeting up for brunch? I'll be in F2F.

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
