You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I officially don't hate any opera terms, but I'm willing to side with you on principle, Sophia.

I have had quite the productive morning. I saw my orthopod this morning and I will be having shoulder surgery on March 8th. It is outpatient and I should have full use of my arm pretty much after surgery. Yay?

The imaging office is downstairs from the orthopedic office, so I stopped into schedule a mammogram (I try to do them around my birthday and I'm a over a week late). Well, guess what? They were able to do it right then, so squish, squash, boom, I was done.

Now I'm trying to get caught up on work and figure out what work I need to shuffle so I can take off a couple of days for the surgery.

Oh, that's a nice one, Laura, I was just looking at that one at Bass Pro on our last trip.

Because books.

squish, squash, boom

I'm going to repeat that to myself when I go. Which I should do ... any day now.

1-800-Contacts managed to send me the wrong contacts, because when they verified the prescription with the doctor, they FAXED THE WRONG ONE. So I was pretty sure my eyes had gone completely bad earlier. That was fun.

Happy birthday, Laura!

Go Holli! I'm so excited for you!

I feel slightly less like death warmed over today, but not by much.

Good luck with the surgery, SuziQ.

Not cool. I hope they are expediting getting the right ones to you.

Thanks, Calli. I have a couple of weeks to fret and then, hopefully the whining will be over.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURA!

For $15. But I threw out my last pair of my old ones last night, so.

Good news about the surgery, by the way. And about it being outpatient -- pretty cool.

Our wings are not tired.

My home phone was specifically chosen to have a mute button.

I have to mute during conference calls because I can't resist typing, talking to people, etc while being bored to tears.

Good luck with the surgery, Suzi. Working arms are a good thing.

Not cool on sending the wrong contacts. Working eyes also a good thing.
