All,

I would appreciate any 'ma you could send my way from about 8a-2pm PT on Monday. I have a job "interview" and I would like things to go well, to impress people.

I also would like my partner to find a job he likes in the area and that negotiations will go well.

Good news to update with -- my mother is doing great post-surgery. Nurses and doctors (and her family!) are thrilled with how she's doing. She's passing all of her neuro tests with flying colors, talking, physically responsive (as much as humanly possible with a broken left arm and broken right hand). Mostly she's sleeping, of course, which is as it should be. Tomorrow they'll be getting her up out of bed.

Her two grandsons and their wives came to visit today, which was awesome and she loved, of course. All signs are just amazingly good.

Thanks for the ~ma, all.

All,

thank you for the 'ma. I'm going to release it for now. Visit is done. I am worn out. My luggage is somewhere unknown, but I had a great visit.

I announced this in Bitches and then it didn't seem like a good time to post it in Beep Me, but: I got a job! And I have a couple lines on side jobs to up my income a bit, since new job is going to start me out really low. I'm excited, though a bit sad that my downtime is over. Ah well.

My first geeky book review video is up! Yep, you can see me flail and squee in the office where I do all my communicatorin' with y'all.

And maybe you'll get het up to read something I recommend. Different genres covered. Feel free to share the vid anywhere! (Just don't mention B.org. Y'all are my Fortress of Solitude...well, you get what I mean.)

Feedback welcome; I'm a vid noob. [link]

Thanks for the 'ma people. Apparently I have a job offer. I just met with the person who is my would-be new boss and they are coming after me.

I need (desperately) some sanity 'ma. If I leave, people at my current work are going to be awful for a period of time. If I don't leave, I think I'm going to regret this decisions for the rest of my life.

Wow. I didn't know how I felt about it until I typed it out in black and white! More in Natter.

Requesting house~ma for the inspection that's happening today on our old place in Salem. We really need this to move forward quickly, so I am requesting the awesome power of Buffista ~ma to get us through! Thanks.

May we please have some Mom~ma headed this way this morning? My mother is having an epidural procedure done on her neck this morning. She has pretty severe spinal degeneration and herniated disks, but at 90 there are not a lot of options. If the epidural doesn't work she will be on serious pain killers the rest of her days. Her mind is sharper than mine and she hates taking pain killers because of the side effects. All procedures are more complicated at her age. I appreciate all good thoughts and prayers that may be directed at Mary in Bonita Springs. Thank you.

If I could please get some unspecified ~ma for the next several weeks? I would really appreciate all positive thoughts sent my way! Thanks!!

I have an interview tomorrow at 9:00 am. Could I get some interview~ma, please?
