This is also worsened by the fact that work like doing the assisted moves and helping clean mom up is about as far out of my comfort zone as it gets. I can mask it really well so mom doesn't know, but yeah.

Some things, the discomfort goes away after a few dozen tries. Some things, it's all about the masking. It's a tough job, and it is not made easier when you can't leave it at the door at the end of an 8 hour shift. {{{{Drew}}}}}

Laga, kitty~ma for you and yours. I'm sure if it's not a fatty deposit, then it's something else simple like an abcess that can be taken care of quickly and easily.

Trudy, still sending out the ~ma for your mom.

Happy birthday, vw!! (What? It's still your birthday in Colorado and California!)

:) I'm all about stretching it out!

I have crossed two more things off my to do list: grocery shopping and cleaning out the fridge. Yay me.

I made myself some yummy tuna salad with celery and apples for dinner. It was good, though I think it suffers for lack of Miracle Whip--all I had was mayo. I know many of you are MW hatahs, but call me a middle class, small town girl; I like it.

I also have an angel food cake in the oven. Nom nom nom.

Trudy, I'm glad to hear your mom is doing better.

Kristin, that sounds nummy! I'm a MW lover, too.

Trudy, continued ~ma for your ma.

And i somehow missed Meara in PDX

Nah, I was only there from 8:30AM until about 5PM, Erin--I flew in in the morning, worked all day in three different places, then drove down to Eugene in the evening. Not enough time to even say hi, sadly. And then drove back the next day from Eugene just in time to catch the plane to Spokane.

Can also help with some teaching. My MFA ought to be useful for something. )

Well clearly if this is a performing arts magnet there will be lots of TECHIES, not just ACTORS. And they will need people like you and me and Vortex to teach them how to STAGE MANAGE, since that's clearly the most important thing.

As someone who both is a woman and sleeps with them, I ...wouldn't get very far if I expected those I sleep with to be hairless. HAH. Not gonna happen. Though most trim a little. I've been with a few who shave, some. I find waxing grows back much less itchy than shaving, personally. And I like the resutls. But COMPLETELY hairless? IS FREAKING CREEPY, Y'ALL. The one time I accidentally had that done, I had to apologize to my girlfriend at the time for makign her feel like a pedophile. Damn.

The one time I accidentally had that done

Um, this begs the question, how do you have that done by accident?

The lady who speaks very little english says "You want Brazilian?" and I say "Um, yeah" and she proceeds to take it ALL off, when I wanted to leave a "landing strip" type area? Because apparently her definition was different than mine.

That's happened to me, too, meara. Gotta be VERY specific BEFORE they start spreading the wax!
