Unrelatedly, I'd just like to say, fuck cancer. A friend of mine, in her mid thirties, recently married, no kids yet, just got diagnosed with what they think is uterine cancer. If it is that, then she'll probably have to have a hysterectomy.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

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.
bonny, dear one, I want you to heal as quickly and cleanly as possible. Please to either start clotting quickly or follow Teppy's suggestion. If $$ becomes an issue, please speak up.

Fuck cancer, indeed.

Oh, and if anyone wants to help out with the hugging photos, just get a photo of two people hugging, while holding a sign with some kind of message on it (it can be anything, really), and send it to my profile address. Thanks! All of us together are trying to set a world record for biggest online hug photo collection, and individually, each team gets 3 points for each photo we submit, up to 100 of them.

Everything has to be submitted to the contest website by Sunday afternoon. So in terms of me having to download and then upload the photos, and then deal with the submission website which has been acting kind of cranky, it would be best to get them by Saturday, but on Sunday before about 3 Eastern time would work.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Before I kick outta here and head to my bed, I wanted to say that sleep has been quite elusive of me lately. But last night was the best sleep I've had in weeks. And it was due to y'all. Like I said to bonny earlier, it's amazing how good rest can help heal and today, for the first time in a long time, I felt like me again. Fighting, working, pushing. I've been on the Give Up Train since the house went on the market and today I feel like I can see the end of what felt like a very large, rocky, treacherous tunnel.
Thanks for being my Tribe, y'all. I love you all more than my luggage.

I still haven't figured out the order to getting things done.
I keep thinking if I just figure something out like that, my bills will get paid and laundry done and house clean on a magical regular basis because I put it in order somehow. Keeps not happening though.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Happy Hugs to Aims! Good luck with the sale. I hope there is a steady stream of people. And those that don't buy stuff, will buy some lemonade, so the cash register keeps ringing.
Hil, Fuck Cancer, indeed. Good thoughts going to your friend.
I took one of the bandages off and that was a mistake. I'm still not clotting, which is worryingOh Bonny, I echo what everyone else said. I really hope it starts clotting/healing soon. And if its not clotting in the morning, do seek out additional medical attention. Also, and I hope this doesn't come off as strange. When you change the bandages. Please take some pictures. It may help should a court case come of it all. Or, at least, to show the "friend", and help cluestick her into paying the bills her dog caused.
Steph, that is truly an amazing blackout story. I think it was a sign for you to just take it easy. Enjoy the simpler things in life. And spend some quiet, quality time with the man you love. Glad you enjoyed the evening. Sounds blissful.
Smonster, hope you got a great nights sleep, and all the anxiety was taken away by the sleep fairies.
May all my Bitches have a wonderful Friday!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
bonny, I hope you slept well and that you are healing.
This was the quote up in the top right as I logged in:

'Nuff said.
Aims, I hope the yard sale is a raging success!! Regardless, you are Getting Rid of Shit, and that is pretty much always a good thing.
I choose sleep (with a little help from Xanax) and it turns out that is what I needed. Duh. I feel much calmer and saner this morning. Would have liked to have a bit of a lie-in/snuggle session with the pets, but they're scraping the siding next door and since that's less than 3' away, it sounds like they're scraping my house. I'm making a to do list as I eat breakfast and clean up the kitchen.
Thanks for all the love and support.
