I love this. In the Chronicles of Humankind, in the times to come, we will speak of the Frost World and its hardships... "in the snow, uphill, both ways..."
Many good thoughts, Connie, to both of you.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bone marrow draw and echo cardiogram out of the way. Both went flawlessly. Echo looked good, bone marrow is going to multiple labs for evaluation. Thursday he goes up to the cancer center to find out the game plan. I can't go with him because of supervisors getting that pinched look when contemplating multiple unplanned days off in a week. I'm going to need supervisory indulgence in the future, so I'll wait for times when Hubby feels physically like crap.
Neat new medical technology! The nurse pulled out a nifty whiz bang gadget that showed the blood vessels under Hubby's skin to decide wehre to put the IV. So very, very cool, and long awaited. One poke, and it was in, no hunting, probing, saying "No, that one's not going to work, let's try over there." The worse part of the ordeal is now much minimized. The nurse was highly amused by his and my fascination with the toy. And we amused the echo cardio tech by peering with interest at the screen. Hey, hearts in motion! "It's Cthulhu!" "No, Darth Vader." "Mr. Potato Head!" "OK, I can see that."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love that he's taking this question totally seriously.
I love that he sounds plastered.

ita !'s med providers need to hear about this ASAP.

Something to do with lasers, there was a red light played over Hubby's skin and the vessels showed up at dark spots.

ita has sidestepped the problem. But yes, Typo, I had a similar thought.

I'm so glad they found a way to make the IV less onerous and that the echocardiogram was good. I hope the bone marrow tests work out well, too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How excited am I??? I am going to the Bill Nye evolution debate at the Creation museum!!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Lady! Would you have time to do dinner or coffee or something??? (I really don't want to give the Creation Museum my money, although knowing that you're going is making me more inclined to maybe go.)

I am hoping so!! I would LOVE to see you!!
I'm going because I am interested in the museum. I don't believe what they do, but I'm interested in the museum and in the debate. I am choosing to believe that my ticket price is all going to Bill Nye's appearance fee. Heh.
Plus, if ever I get into a debate with a parent about teaching creationism, I want to be able to say, "You know, I've done some research and blah blah blah." instead of just saying, "Not science." Which, it totally isn't science, but I want to have more than that. If that makes sense. Being Christian and considering myself a scientist is interesting at times.
Plus, I'm a total sucker for animatronic dinosaurs.
