Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

And that was closest I've been in over 10 years. This is stupid, but I just feel like I've let them all down.
I feel your pain on the closest. God knows I'm wanting love and coming up empty. And to have something and then not. Ya. BUT the "let them down" part. Pshaw! Hogwash I say. You have to do whats best for YOU! If CBD wasn't the right one, at the right time, then it's far better to learn and address that now, rather than later down the road where you might feel compelled to marry him because you've been dating 13 months or some such.

Er. um. kinda lecturey. Sorry. What I meant was {{{ vw }}}

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

How is that negative? It's *good* that the meds are kicking in.

I just meant that it may not mean that your back is really better.

So you mean the percocet is kicking in, but the steroids and muscle relaxers aren't? I guess that's possible, but I also know the point of giving me steroids was to reduce any inflammation that might be irritating the sciatic nerve.

I guess there's no way to tell if it's the percocet masking the pain, or the steroids getting rid of the cause of the pain.

Or -- I took my last dose of percocet at 7:00 this morning, and it's 5 1/2 hours later, so if the pain comes back soon, that would mean the lack of pain was from the percocet working. And if things stay pain-free (ish), then I'm going to assume it's the steroids and/or muscle relaxers and/or time.

That sounds like a reasonable conclusion.

“Not dead yet!”

My poor sniffly, scratchy-voiced girl has slid into wet coughing and fever. Poor lamb.

And I feel even worse for her because she's not a demanding, ill-tempered sickie. She just took her Benadryl and Motrin and lay down on the sofa. After about an hour of cartoons, she fell asleep and stayed there most of the morning.

Poor baby girl.

Ugh. I only remember ordering two drinks on Saturday night. I mean, they were STRONG drinks, but dear GOD. I had a few sips of my friend's shot, but...apparently being over 30 and on some meds means that getting drunk is (a) too easy and (b) a REALLY REALLY bad idea. This is now the second time I've gotten drunk and spent the whole next day just miserable. I seriously considered whether I should go to the ER...for six hours Sunday afternoon, I was not keeping water down. MISERABLE. And even Sunday night, still miserable, just not actively doing anything about it. Still not feeling great today. WTF, body??

Alcohol no longer my friend. Sniff. Feel like I have been beat up. OW.

Though, thank god the woman canceled my trip to Portland today. Would not have wanted to get up mad early and fly down there.

I hope people who did nothing to deserve their pain (Teppy, Aimee) feel better than I do, today. :(

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Cashmere, I'd go for the Brother, actually. Their quality is going to be similar, and the Brother actually has a few more toys--including the twin needle, which is actually wicked cool.

Cash, I have that model Brother, and I have been very happy with it. It's a nice simple, easy to use machine - not a lot of bells and whistles. The only thing that has not made me happy, is that there aren't any Brother dealerships nearby, so getting a walking foot for quilting has not been happening. So, if there is any chance at all that you might get into quilting, and you don't have a proper Brother dealership near you, I'd recommend bumping up to whatever level of machine comes with the walking foot. But for simple repairs and hems and ordinary sewing, this is a good choice.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I'm not really here. Aidan and Kara had strep last week and were better. They went to school on Thursday and Friday. Then last night they both got sick again and are home today. I can't seem to get much work done. I just wanted to pop in and ask Andi, did you know you can buy them online?

ION, my sore throat is noticeably improved. While swallowing still isn't my favorite thing, talking is no longer painful. w00t.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Poor baby girl.

Aw, Barb. That sucks. I hope she feels better soon. Liv's been coughing up a storm and her nose has been running like a faucet for three days.

Thanks, Andi!
