What does tuck my tailbone mean? Push it back? Or forward?
Forward. Like, if you had a tail, and you pulled your tail through your legs towards your front, "forward" = the way your tailbone would move. (I'm bad at describing physical things AND I'm stoned on tramadol, so I hope that made sense.)
Basically, tucking your tailbone results in a flattening of your lower-back arch.
smonster, that idea you had for a handywoman service? I think you should do it, preferably here
Imagine the fun juliana and I could have working together... I fix shit up and she makes it purty!
I just used a "personal massager" as... a personal massager. File that under sure signs of getting old.
Steph, yes it made sense! I'll try it.
Remember back in the day before internet shopping, when catalogues were the thing? I had a friend who worked for the barebones shopfront of a Montreal (maybe across Canada?) catalogue that sold a "personal massager" with a tiny innocuous entry. And women would keep coming in (it was just a counter front to a warehouse) and order it by the catalogue number, no description.
Of course they knew that code off by heart and made squinty faces at the ladies who thought they were all secret wankers.
Sundays - Wednesdays. Provided someone picks up the airfare.
Hmmm. You are up in SF, yes? Cheap airfare down to SoCal. And the new place (If it happens) is close to Long Beach Airport. Hmmmmmmm.
Teppy, I am going to bookmark that stretch for later.
I have started my day with an anxiety attack. This was not part of my plan for today. IbetterN, TCG is taking tomorrow off, so we're going to finally try to see The Avengers tomorrow!
Called the vet, explained the sitution. They told me I needed to bring him in right away. Told them that wasn't possible, could I please drop him off tomorrow for an appointment.
I was told this is an emergency and 1)I shouldn't wait until tomorrow and 2) even if they thought it could wait they would not let me just drop him off to be seen. I would have to be there. Or I could have somenoe bring him in and be there during the appointment.
So I called ER vet, they said - yes bring him after hours (visit cost $100), he may have to have surgery, depending. So that's what I'll do. Explained to the receptionist at the ER vet the situation, asked it if was typical. She acted like she never heard of a person not being able to be at the appt with their pet and that requring an owner to be there seems to be standard.
So, I'm scared Dean is going to die, that it will be my fault, and also feel like everyone is saying I'm being unreasonable for not being able to drop everything and physically be at the appointment.

It is some other universe than mine where people have only one responsibility at a time. Work, pets, kids, family, self. If we only had one obligation at a time it would be dandy but it doesn't work that way. Please don't beat yourself up, askye. You are doing the best you can with limited resources. Only so many hours in the day or money in the bank, or energy for that matter.
