But alas, I gave my wheelie chair to my mother. My foot is in an ice bath right now. Then I think I'll hop down to my car and head to the pharmacy.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Our wings are not tired.
When I had foot surgery I lived on an office chair that had the back broken off. I zoomed all over on that, much of the time kneeling on the seat to keep my foot off the floor. Never got the hang of crutches.

I have lived such a protected life -- I've never yet had a need for crutches.

May it stay that way, Theodosia! Avoid football, okay.
Kat! A number of my email addresses hit the 10 votes bonus thing on Limeades in the last couple days so it has been votapalooza.

Compassionately intolerant
My mother always used to say that wearing clothes inside out (accidentally) was good luck.
I've heard this too!
May it stay that way, Theodosia!
So very THIS!
I have a set of crutches in a closet that I can't seem to get rid of for fear I might need them again...or someone I know might.
Constant vigilance!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pixie knocked the protective cardboard box off of the phone and erased everything on the answering machine. She's still curled up next to the phone. Pleased with herself, I'm guessing.

I way prefer the French almond macarons to the coconut macaroons, but I do like a good coconut macaroon (when I find one that is). Franny tells me that the pumpkin macarons at TJs are her new favorites, but have you tried the vanilla ones they sell in packages of chocolate and vanilla? Oh. My. God. Unbelievably good!
I have to grade 10 papers today, and visit my sister if I can find the time. Oh, and do the grocery shopping. Better get cracking.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For once, I don't have to grade over the weekend (I usually give a quiz each week, but I was a bit behind schedule and needed to catch up before the midterm, so I used the usual quiz time for an extra lecture this week), but since the midterm is tomorrow, I'm going to have a ton of grading during the week. I also have to respond to a student who keeps sending me emails like "There is a problem with the homework" where I have to email back and forth with him about three or four times before I can find out what he's actually trying to tell me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I had crutches handy from when I was a kid until I was in my 20s. Aikido helped me cut down in ankle twists a lot. But not entirely--or maybe the grace has worn off in the years since I stopped practicing. I had to borrow Amyth's crutches a few years ago.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
"There is a problem in the homework in that I have problems o solve in the homework you assigned. Please explain the stuff you explained in class over e-mail, because it is homework."
Like that?
Mmm. I have been to the store already, and have chili on the stove. And a cat glommed tight onto my lap -- I know it's fall.
I have never had to use crutches, either, which is a damned miracle considering that for years I consistently tripped over air and dirt and my own feet enough that it was a running joke: "Strix fell; must be a day ending in -y."
