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

I think it's key to actually tell your kids something's happening to Mummy. That's a step my parents would try and avoid.

I hope all medical issues progress as smoothly as possible. As do house/financial ones.

Eric Bana is the featured article at Wikipedia today. My fancrush on him proceeds unabated. I need to see his comedy work.

Happy birthday, Typo Boy!

House~ma for Plei!

Good luck with the healing, Burrell!

The "jumping on me" thing is worrying me about my bypass surgery next year, but I'm concerned about my cat, whose favorite thing to do is to jump on top of my stomach when I'm on the couch. I'll just have to make sure I don't fall asleep there and stop her before she leaps from the couch arm onto me.

Thanks for the support, everybody. It helps with the stress management.

Yeah, we tend to tell the kids what's up, within reason. They even asked if they could touch the hernia, so I let them. But still, not so much with the understanding of time. I think I'll be tender for a while.

Liv was fascinated by my drainage tubes. I'd show her so she knew why she couldn't hug me for a week. But even 3 year olds can grok "be gentle with Mommy."

Is this where I tell Plei about the St Joseph Home Selling kit: [link]

Burrell, I hope the surgery goes well.

I have the day off, and I am spending it doing Xmas errands for other people. It's not a good thing. My sister asked me to go to a store and pick up a Canada Olympic hoodie for my SiL. She called the store yesterday and was told they had plenty in stock. I get there and they tell me that they've been sold out for weeks. It's a 30min bus ride each way to that store. Man, was I pissed.

Burrell, when I was high-risk pregnant with C. and couldn't have then three-year-old B. climbing on me or lift him, I just went down on my knees straight away whenever he came up to me. That way there could still be gentle hugging and cuddling. My trousers suffered a bit but that was the least of my worries.

Best of luck to you, and Gute Besserung to all the other sick people around here.

Whoot! I just got an excellent performance review, which will impact my bonus and (probably) merit increase.

Sadly, I otherwise feel like hammered shit. I think I may be coming down with something (though it may just be a case of the Mondays).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Frank! Ummm..the good review part. Not the hammered shit part.
