This is really big. If I weren't stuck in bed with a cold, and also currently in another country from her, there'd be big celebrating.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a krav teacher I otherwise liked and respected a great deal who gave me shit for not being on top of my game for months after my worst concussion. Then he got beaned. Oh, I was happy about the schadenfreude. He kept teaching the same thing over and over because his short term memory was shot. At least I knew what my limitations were going to be--I lost my ability to be explosive and loud, but I could cope in advance with the memory loss.
He later bonked me in the head with a fake knife and concussed me again, so all told he won the concussion battle. But he did apologise to me for not getting the impairment.
The krav centre was pretty harsh about what they would and wouldn't allow me to do when they knew I was concussed. I threw a fit because they didn't do that for the guys that got concussed--someone then pointed out to me that I had other things to do with my brain and the guys in question were "just" fighters and krav was all they had, so why hold them back?
Hmm.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wow! That's fantastic news.

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.
Oh, Seska! Wonderful news! It's made my day. So I can just imagine how happy you are.

Heh. I'd be so much happier if I weren't all full of cold. I was pissy at The Girl on the phone. I should really call her back and be less pissy.
But yes, truly awesome news! Woo!
& Damn. Now I really have to get on with planning a wedding.

I hope the doctor can help, Anne.
Yay, Seska!
Lots of health ~ma for your father, Solange. It's so hard to be far away from family when these things are happening.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Yup, it's a concussion all right. Not much to do but wait it out. Also, if things get worse or don't improve noticeably by Friday, I'm to go in for a scan.
My doc is more worried about the fact that I fell down. Apparently, I'm prone to vaso-vagal reactions, and given that my blood pressure today was 100 over 60, things must have gone seriously low when I hopped out of bed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Great news!
