WOOT! My unemployment check got cut! Should be here by Monday!

Yay check!

I can't imagine Fay looking anything less than marvelous.

Both "never mowed a lawn before" and "sex club and parents" send me to that "not in Kansas anymore" place.

Now I'm just trying to figure out what "mowed a lawn" is a euphemism for.

the elves have made off with a present I bought for a shower that is tomorrow. They're now holding the baby shoes, a camera, several items of clothing and a pair of shoes hostage somewhere.

They also took my wrist brace, which is pissing me off, because my wrist hurts really really REALLY badly (mowing the lawn did NOT make it hurt worse; it just hurts because, well, I have massive inflammation).

I've looked everywhere, and I have no idea where I lost the brace. The only place I didn't check was the gym, although I really don't think it was there, but then again, if it isn't there, then it probably really did get taken by elves.

I get a steroid injection this afternoon for my wrist, which will hopefully not cause anaphylaxis and kill me (since the oral steroids I took 2 weeks ago made me all itchy). It's a different steroid, and I think my Dr. will make me stay in the office for 30-45 minutes to make sure I don't die. I should ask for an epi-pen too, now that I think of it.

He's pretty sure that the allergic reaction was not to the steroid itself, but to the inactive ingredients in the pills. Since an injection has different inactive ingredients than a pill does, it should all be okay.

Well, currently among my circle of friends (and as a result of an anecdote we need not go into at this juncture) it's a euphemism for shaving your pubes.

I hope the steroid injection works magic without any unpleasant after effects.

I have three wrist braces in my desk drawer, Teppy. Maybe one is yours? If so, could you take a look around for tiny blue shoes with penguins on them?

Steph, I would x-ray the dogs' stomachs for your wrist brace. In fact, you might check Ginger's dog's stomach, too.

Signed, My pup will eat anything, won't yours?

Hope the steroids work.

tiny blue shoes with penguins

I don't care that these are baby shoes, I want some for me. So cute!

I have considered the dog, but I think I would have noticed the trail of destruction, unless he's hidden them somewhere for an extra-special dessert.

Fay, I've seen pictures of you wearing a black bobbed wig with fringe before you committed to the One True Haircut and you looked gorgeous.

Also, that cut is the chic cut of the summer as not only Cate wears it, but also the wider-cheeked Christina Ricci in Speed Racer. Most importantly we also see Dr. Girlfriend with that look in the recent Venture Brothers and there can be no greater fashion icon.

Black, 4 velcro straps, metal-reinforced on the underside?

You bet!

Heh. That may be what happened, OR one of the cats may have carried it off to love on it like a surrogate kitten.
