Well, bless the hairdresser because she kept R for half an hour when my yoga class ran late.

Cuss her a little though, because she told R, "The surgery is today! It's RIGHT NOW!!!" 'Cause I wasn't going to do that. Certainly not "It's RIGHT NOW!!!" -- that causes me crazy anxiety and I can keep it straight in my haid.

Hopefully it will slip her mind quickly and not make her a wreck all day.

(What I've gone with is "Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are busy days with lots of doctors and finally the operation. We probably won't hear from them until Wednesday." That rolls in our skipped phone call with the surgery so its upsetting but not, you know... terrifying. She knows its going down.)

Oh yes - tons of surgery~ma directed to NY today!

Yay team cancer free, indeed!

Last night, Calli came over to, uh, help me watch TV. I introduced her to the wonder that is Tim Gunn. Or at least they got better acquainted.

Much operation~ma headed to NY!

I am sitting at Cake Cafe, networking like a fiend and still researching the lead paint stuff. I've been drafted into doing some (presumably unpaid) work developing safety protocols. I'm leery of the unpaid, but it's an org I'd like to hire me and the deliverables should be helpful to Historic Green, so here I am. Plus, I'm not any kind of certified professional.

Last night, Calli came over to, uh, help me watch TV.

And we watched the heck outta that TV, too. Jon Stewart's reaction to one of Isabella Rossalini's bug sex videos was priceless.

We did watch the heck out that TV. Thanks for the help!

smonster! Go on with your bad networking self!

smonster, I feel like you will appreciate this: I had 20 minutes to kill yesterday when I was waiting for the bus, so I went into Light Years, and I bought this ridic huge turquoise necklace, because, idk, I was stressed, and it was retail therapy, I guess. Anyway, it's nsm a necklace, as it is a breastplate, it's so big, and I feel like it's something Christian Kane might wear in a particularly flamboyant moment.

I, however, though I am wearing it, am not sure I can pull it off.

I need to see a picture of this breastplate. Preferably while being worn by amyth.

Or CK, if he's handy.

I'll work on the me picture, Zenkitty, if you work on delivering CK to me. Deal?

Alas, I'll have to forego the picture, then, because if I get my hands on CK I won't be mailing him off.

Now I'm picturing him like Flat Stanley.

I'd totally send him back.
