Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I just got a text that simply said "Hey this is" followed by the name of a person I do not know. Do I respond that they have the wrong number or just ignore them?

“Not dead yet!”

Sweet jinkies-- I just had to pep talk Nate into his first phone call to a girl. (The girl-- of the white chocolate zombie Easter bunny.)

I have no idea how I'm managing to sound so confident and like I know what I'm talking about, given that I failed so spectacularly at being a teenager.

Respond that you don't know who they are and they may have the wrong number.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, I've been trying to listen to my body in my recovery. And my body said sleeeeeeep. I got up at 10 to take my meds, then went back to bed at 11:30. Got up at around 1, then fell asleep on the couch again at 2. Woke up at 4, took a spin around the block, actually felt hungry, so stopped and bought a sandwich. I ate half of it and am done.

I'm wondering if I'm so tired because I'm not eating. Since the surgery, I've had some soup, some rice cooked in broth, and some cheezits. And today's sandwich. But, I'm just not hungry.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'd assume your body's tired because it's been, for lack of a better word, traumatized. And it's recovering. If anything, I'd think eating might make you a little tireder, since your body has to deal with digesting. (Do eat though! Fuel for recovery, etc.) I think your plan of Listening to the Body is a sound one.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh Vortex! Horrified yet relieved by your picture. I hope you feel so much better.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, Vortex, you should probably eat enough to keep yourself from getting weak, but not force yourself.

Happy birthday, Ouise! That's good news about your brother and his daughter.

Happy Birthdays to Zenkitty and Ouise!!!

Vortex, I'm so pissed you got to see a pic of your fibroid!

And yes, sleep your fucking ass off -- I slept a LOT, took my pain pills whenever I felt ouchy, and walked a little bit every day, and I recovered pretty fast. Because I let me bod heal. Good recovery to you!

You will feel SO MUCH BETTER.

ION, I feel into bed at 12:30, and am now up. There's no coffee; I asked D to go get me a Coke, because I am so groggy I would run into a light pole.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy birthday to Ouise and Zen.

You need to eat some Vortex, but I'd listen to your body. Sleep is good.
