Sean,
Saw this and thought it might be pertinent.

[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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Only if you pay the bill.
But, but...she can take care of them - they're SURE she lives there. They've ALWAYS sent her junk mail there.

Our wings are not tired.
I am so sorry, Aims. Peace and comfort and so much love to MM and your whole family.

Epic, I have a hardcover of Casual Vacancy for $1. I only have the end of the alphabet for Grafton and no Seanan, sadly.

Got it.

Cool, thanks! And when I get further into the alphabet we could probably revisit the Graftons. The problem right now is I can't remember which of the later ones I've read and Goodreads doesn't load right on my work computer so I can't check.

They'll probably still be here, so no hurry.
Now if this one customer would leave so I could run to the loo, that would be great.
Apparently the answer to my earlier quiz about what time my doctor's office would call me back was they would not call me back at all.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Someone talk me down? I'm freaking out about this hip surgery to repair the torn labrum and fix my pain problem. I shouldn't be freaked out, it's the answer, and I'm so glad that it is fixable...but it's also 4-6 months of rehab at AT LEAST 12 wks before I can return to work. Maybe I could return to 4 hr shifts after 8 wks....but I work 12 hr shifts and she's pretty adamant that there's no way i'll be able to sit or stand for that long. I've tallied up all my sick leave, vacation leave, and comp time and it only covers 4 wks off. FMLA protects my job, but i'll still have to go unpaid after that which is a pretty major financial hardship on top of medical bills. Not to mention that my car looks to be about to bite it (the engine failure and IMA lights went on at the same time which likely means that the hybrid battery is shot. It's a 2005 model so that's not at all surprising, just expensive.)
I should have enough savings to float this as long as nothing else goes wrong (dear doG, why would I even *think* such a statement!) but of course something else will happen. Ugh.
I know I should be relieved that there's hope and an end in sight. Instead I'm freaking out about not being able to pay my mortgage.
eta: and i still haven't even scheduled this procedure yet, gotta give mom enough time to book a plane ticket to come take care of me for the 2-4 wks before I can drive myself anywhere. So i still have *plenty* of time to make financial arrangements. I do not need to freak out about this now. Well, i need to cancel all my vacation days so i can save those hours, but that's not freak-out-level necessary.
