I'm not sure, because apparently all of the counselors go on vacation at the same time right when I need them in this bodunk town, but I think my insurance pays for 12 visits a year to a psychologist or psychiatrist or chiropractor.

meara, maybe I can lunch with you and ita on Weds? My only issue with dinner is that it'd be me, the DH, and the kids, so suddenly a lot of people involved.
ita, do you need a ride later? Please call us if we can help. We're nearby.
Thanks for the `ma, I think I need to hold onto it for a bit. Franny got a very low lottery number, which makes us at 0 for 2 at the moment.

Sure Burrell--email me your number, and I'll call you if it's possible? It'll all depend on how things are going with the woman I'm shadowing. I'm mearagirl at yahoo.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Remember when way back in January I asked questions about broken noses? Well, I've finally actually reached that point in the story, and my protagonist's sidekick is about to set his broken nose, ~24 hours after the injury occurred. Two questions...
1. When Sidekick pushes Hero's nose bones back into more or less proper alignment, is that going to give Hero a nosebleed again?
2. Will Hero notice improvement immediately, like being able to breathe through his nose again, or will that have to wait till the swelling has time to go down?
Actually, make that three questions...
3. How long will it take for Hero to start looking human again (swelling gone down, bruises faded, etc.)? I need to know how many days/chapters he's going to get "What happened to YOU?" remarks...

I can't answer any of those questions, but in anticipation:
Mon nez est cassé! Aie! Mon nez! J'arrive pas à respirer! Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé? T'as l'air vraiment foutu.

Can I get a translation on that? Because it looks like comedy gold. Even though I can't use it for this scene, since Hero and Sidekick are both English, and while Hero knows a lot of French and a little Latin, being an aristocratic, edumacated type, Sidekick is your basic monolingual Briton.

My nose is broken! Ow! My nose! I can't breathe!
What happened? You look really f*cked up.

Ah. That's why I could understand everything except the last sentence. Six years of middle/high school French, one year in college, and we never learned how to say "fucked up."

French you weren't taught in high school 101:
Foutre: v. to f*ck
As in:
Va te faire foutre! (Go f*ck yourself!)
Fous-moi la paix! (Leave me the f*ck alone!)
Fous le camp! (F*ck off!)
Il fout tout en l'air. (He's f*cking everything up.)
Tu te fous de moi? (Are you f*cking with me?)
