Congrats Seska!

So I pulled out the pick line thingy in my arm and I need it redone, I called for the after hours nurse to call me back, I'm hoping I'll get a call soon.

Congrats to Seska and the whole family!

Congrats, Seska! And to wee Ivy, welcome to the world. Be patient, the Buffistas are trying to set it straight. Or as straight as it's liable to get with us around.

Scrambled eggs and toast: I still have the best doggie.

I've been meaning to ask how Frankie was doing, smonster. No ill-effects from the asshat-discarded chicken bones?

No, if he did eat any it must have passed okay, thank heavens. He continues to be a little angel pup. Currently he's zonked out on the couch next to me. I'm trying to figure out if there are any errands I can combine with a walk. I've totally become one of those people who doesn't understand why they can't take their dog in the grocery store.

askye, I hope you hear back soon.

I'm so glad Frankie and smonster found each other.

:: Streeeeetch :: Whew! 10 hours of much needed sleep. Once zonked, I didn't wake for anything. Don't recall any tossing/turning, bumps in the night, noise from neighbors, NOTHING. If there was a tornado siren, I slept through it. It. was. AWESOME! Then took a lovely hot shower, with excellent water pressure, like hot daggers penetrating my muscles. Almost worked out all the kinks in my lumbar area. Discovered I have an unseen bruise just above my left knee on the inside. After pondering a moment, I realized what it was from. When you sit at a chair, and can't lift well, you tend to use your legs as inclined planes/fulcrums/etc to help get them stacked. Well, that was the point many a box corner jabbed me as it made it's way up the chain. I still don't get it. I had everything but the furniture stacked in the dining room. A 6x6ish room. Most stacks dolley high. Whatever. It's on the road, and so am I.

Since the shower was so long, I'm missing the free breakfast. I don't care. Sleep and shower was more important. Oy. That felt good. And for the record, Hyatt suites are NICE!

Off to OK City, and hopping on Route 66 today! Weather looks to be ok too! Woot!

Congratulations on furthering auntiehood, Seska! Welcome to the world, Ivy. May your family dote on you.

Pleasant travels, omnis. Take lots of pictures!

Could I get a "back off Universe" chant going? My cousin called last night to say he was engaged, which is a huge YAY! However, his finace has stage four lung cancer and the prognosis is that only 50% of people make it to the eight month mark and 10% to five years. The cousin is hoping for five years, but it's going to be long and hard either way. I'm just tired of seeing my family, close or far, taking it in the shorts this year. Bah. Fuck cancer.

Fuck cancer! Back off universe!

Fuck cancer! Much ~ma for the loving couple, that they get many happy years together, in spite of the odds.

Fuck cancer.

They should have pins like that.
