Luck to you, Calli!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

I am home from vacation and filled with gronk.
Today was a better day. Maybe last night was cathartic, IDK.
I'm glad to hear it, and I hope today is going well too.
Best of luck, Calli.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, Calli. Madison is a fine place to live. You'll just have to get used to winter again.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good luck, Calli.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Thanks, y'all. I'm actually trying to get back to winter, so that totally works for me.
Smonster, I hope things continue to improve for you.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Welcome home, sj.
Lots of -ma, Calli.
Glad you're feeling a bit better smonster. Hope the improving trend continues.
ION, Avon, for no easily discernible reason, has discontinued the best powder foundation in the world. My quest for a good powder foundation is on again. I used to use one from Cover Girl that's quite good, but I've been trying not to use them since I discovered they're on PETA's naughty list. I have a hard time finding one that's really powder (cream-to-powder is a lie) yet gives sufficient coverage that I can use it alone as a foundation. Anyone here have any recs?

Congratulations, Aims!
Another job in my field came up at the University of Wisconsin-Madison this morning
Hey, Calli, was it a position for an instructional designer/technologist with Continuing Studies? We've been posting new positions right and left. Leanne just posted this one yesterday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Aromaleigh (they're doing their powder foundation again, yay.) for mineral makeup. And you can order a million samples to find the perfect one.
Congrats, Aims!
I suspect the fact that a lot of y'all are introverts probably doesn't help the whole "would I want visitors in the hospital" bit.
This is true. I don't like most people in my home. Much less a hospital room.

True, but there are likely a lot more introverts when it comes to socializing when feeling and looking like crap.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Update on the judgey you-all-suck-because-you-aren't-visiting-someone-in-the-hospital-and-I-think-you-should friend:
I did reply to her post and said, fairly succinctly, that I was sorry to hear she thought I was a bad friend for not visiting, but my understanding was that ICU visiting was restricted AND because the patient has been gravely ill, I was giving them their privacy at a time it seemed they needed it, especially because I don't know them well enough to feel like I should insert myself into a very stressful time, and that it was never because I don't care about the patient.
Several mutual friends followed with "Yeah, what Steph said. We don't know [Patient] and [Husband] very well, but we're praying for them," etc.
Judgey friend didn't reply to any of those.
Unfortunately, the woman who is in the hospital is doing worse -- she improves a little and then has a fairly bad setback. Tim is going to call the husband, because they've known each other for longer than I have.
Still annoyed at judgey friend, but, again, fuck her.
