Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Yay, Kathy!

Heard the sad news about Richardson!

Sad news about Natasha Richardson.

Annd to do whiplash, I briefly talked to the other neighbor, B. Until he had to to get his 3 year old daughter out of the bath and into bed. Yay kids!

And since I started this post he called me back and I learned some interesting thing. The house was rented for 13 years to the same person prior to it going on the market. The owner did very little in upgrades during that time (but the renter was quite the pushover.) It's been vacant for the past year or so, in which a lot of work has been done, discounting the deck. (Which we both agree, has GOT to go.) He thinks the street is noisier than he'd like come summer (but compared to here? Um.)

B moved there in 2003 and has done a lot of the work himself. He also has a purple and lavender bath and had the same reaction I did to it when he first saw it. He named all the other folk on our side of the street and spoke well of them. So I should drop off some more notes

And I'm to knock on his door after inspection to meet him F2F.

Jeez, this is getting real-er.

Sounds great. Good neighbors are great. We totally lucked out in that respect.

Oh, I am sad that two of my favorite people are in supremely foul moods. I'd send you cookies, if they only fit through the web.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish you could help, Burrell. Everything hurts and I hate everything. No one can help. Time. Push the cookies to msbelle.

So I have a new med to take for my throat. It's a paste which has to be applied to the very top of my throat/back of my mouth. Suffice it to say getting it there is not pleasant. And yet, it surprisingly works. I'm oddly pleased. That + vicodin + cough suppressant = a good night's sleep, right? Please?

Ow. What's wrong with your throat? I hope it all works for you.

I'm going to try and delay sleep tonight because my procedure is at 1:30pm and I can't eat after 12am. Not that I'm remotely hungry now, but I don't want to risk the morning.

Vicodin and cough meds alone would put me out for a good few hours, Kat. I'm sorry your throat is so sore.

Oh ita, that doesn't sound fun at all. I can handle the not eating, it's the not drinking that gets to me. What is the procedure, if I may ask?

Viral infection. The ulcers/sores are a special treat.

They're going to be injecting/killing something between my C1/C2 vertebrae. My discs are bulging all the way down to my shoulders. I don't know if I can conscientiously ever return to the martial arts, as if I didn't have enough reasons to want to cry today.

I get to drink enough to take my pills, but she said sip. I don't think she gets how much pillage is in my morning. I'd just rather not be awake for most of it.

The ulcers/sores are a special treat.

Ow! I hope you get knocked out.
