HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!!

{{{Sail}}}

Much ~ma for Ginger.

bonny, the only useful thing I have to say about your letter is that you have "assessible" where you want "accessible". I'm sorry you are having to deal with this.

Sail, you are not a horrible person. Accidents happen, and it sucks to be the one to cause one. But a truly horrible person would not care about the injuries sustained by others. I'm glad no one was hurt worse.

Happy birthday, Sean! I hope this turns out to be a good year.

Poor Sail.

Thanks for the ~ma. I am back after 3 1/2 hours of keeping my mouth open. This surgery is called a sinus lift, and it's designed to make space for an implant, since the tooth that was pulled sat right against the sinus membrane. It involves putting in three little metal pegs that he hammered in, then hammered and hammered more, because apparently my sinuses are an odd shape. Having someone pound little metal pegs into your jaw? Do. Not. Like.

(whitefonted for the dentally squeamish)

Now I'm waiting for the good drugs to kick in.

Ugh, that sounds horrendous. Good drug-ma, Ginger.

bonny, i think you are being very reasonable.

It is my assumption that the ceiling and effected wall should be one color.

I believe you want to make that "affected."

Holy crap, Ginger. You really got the crap kicked out of you today. Healing vibes are being flung in your direction.

Bonny, I think your letter sounds fine. I hope your landlord is able to comprehend it all.

My Aunt T is taking me to the doc's office today to get my drains out and the bandages off. It's all very exciting, except for the part where everyone has said that the drain tube removal hurts like a motherfucker. Not really looking forward to that part.

Ow, Ginger. Things I would not like: someone hammering metal pegs into my head, wherever they might be located. On the other hand, if it gets you a functional tooth, then yeah. Necessary. May the drugs be, in fact, good, and may they kick in soon.

Bonny, the letter reads fine, except--Windi already pointed out accessible, but you have "the effected wall" and it should be "the affected wall." Not...that it has, you know, airs and graces, or anything. But the water damage had the effect of affecting the wall. So to speak. Um.

Sail, oh no! But I'm glad you're okay, and that the other woman wasn't being a screaming hysterical hellbeast. Not...that I would know anything about that, oh no. Seriously. I know the damage is always daunting, but you and everybody concerned are okay, and that's the important thing.

Felicitations, Sean, on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day! May it be joyous and may there be cake! And candles, and even confetti, if you so desire. A year of happiness and prosperity is my wish for you.

~ma to Ginger and Nicole

Bonny - your letter says what needs to be said.

I have a selfish request. One of the teachers at K-Bug's school is in the running as Comcast’s “All Star Teacher”. If Mr. Nakamura wins, K-Bug's High School receives $10,000. Mr. Nakamura not only teaches history, ethnic studies, but is the head honcho of the Leadership kids and, on top of all that, manages to help coach sports teams. To vote for him - go to [link] click on Alan Nakamaura and cast your vote. Only one vote per IP address. The contest goes through July 15th.

You'll be happy to have the drains gone, though, Nicole. I hated those.

I think I'm going to lie down now.

Nakamura, check. Or, you know, tickybox.

Nicole, yeah. But! It'll feel SO much better after. Swear. Meantime, dahling, you look maaahvelous, yes you do. And getting better all the time. Virtual hugs now, real ones later.
