Raise~ma, Suzi!
Glad you had a good start, Aims!
We had DQ for lunch and Olivia dipped her french fries in her ice cream. I never taught her that. Must be genetic.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
When someone asks you to arrange a meeting, and you painstakingly contact everyone on a list, find the best possible time for the group, reserve a room, and send out an email notification--and then two days later get a message from the person who asked you to do all this, saying that the group that you'd scheduled for next Wed. at 10:30 will be meeting Thurs. at 10:00, and can you please let the group know? With no explanation, apology, or even acknowledgment that you'd arranged something different.
I'm a fan of the passive aggressive innocent response. "Of course! Is that in addition to the 10:30 Wednesday meeting that all participants already confirmed for, or do we need to ask them all to reschedule?"

Heh. Wish I hadn't already replied.
Turns out there was a perfectly good rationale--K had a conflict come up on Wednesday, and he's the chair of the committee. So if N had just included a line to that effect and said, "So I went ahead and found a new time because I know you're busy," all would've been good. Or, just, you know, rescheduled and not bothered to tell me at all. I'm fine with being TOTALLY out of the occasional loop. It's just partial info that drives me crazy.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Eyelids have de-puffed about 80% -- now they just look puffy like I didn't get enough sleep. (Which, come to think of it, I didn't.)
Still itchy, still flushed, still waiting for Dr. to call me back. (To be fair, I didn't say it was an emergency when I called his office, and he generally returns calls after 4:30 p.m. or so. And since I don't seem to be in anaphylactic shock, I can wait for the callback.)

Ok. I just tried calling the school, yet again, and still no answer. I left a VM and an e-mail, and in both I asked that they please let me know they got the message, and I haven't heard anything. I'm supposed to be to work in an hour, and I have no idea if they know I'm not coming. I don't know what to do, but I'll be at a doctor's appointment about the time they would start wondering where I am.
