That is excellent news, katefate!
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is it just me and my issues that hears it that way?
Nope. It makes me want to hit something.
No. But maybe we have the same issues.
I'm sorry about the marathon being only a maybe, Pix, and that you got hit so hard with everything while at the doctor's office.
I think I'm finally driving my emotional train again. I napped a lot. Like a lot lot. The Lokes and The Pumpk would wake me by pawing my hands and face to get pets. Or trying to shred the Kleenex box. I'm also kinda wondering if I also had a mild stomach bug. Despite eating very little the past couple days, my insides were pretty...dramatic. But I had my salad for dinner and the angry thing inside me is quiet.
Kathy and katefate, congrats on both of your achievements! Kathy, you still swimming? I've wondered sometimes over the years.
I think tomorrow will be functional. Annoying as fuck because a quick glance at my email indicates all sorts of stupid shit went down. Sigh.
Pix, I hope you get to run your marathon. But soft tissue injuries like that can be a bitch to heal. I still have pain from a relatively minor injury I got rock climbing in 2006. But I didn't take care of that injury in any way. If the doc says don't run... maybe don't run. Take care of yourself, ita would want that too.
Hil, hearing that makes me very thankful I have a doctor who phrases the need for tests as ruling out bad possibilities and giving peace of mind rather than as a consequence or punishment. (Bad patient! No biscuit!)
I can't think about not running now. But thank you, and I hear you.
And thanks also for letting me brain dump.
I just read back and want to send my love to katefate (congrats!) and Kathy and all the other Buffistas I haven't seen in forever. So, so good to see you. And Sean, I'm sorry about the surgery but glad you're getting it taken care of. I know it's been a source of true misery for you, and I hope once you get past the healing you will feel a thousand times better. And yes, we will help out as we can.
And hi, everyone. I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad to see so many Buffistas who had wandered posting again. Hi, Kathy!
I called in sick today because I felt exhausted and wrung out, and had a headache that made thinking hurt. I need to go in tomorrow and get some stuff done, but like a lot of people have been saying, this has put perspective on things. I could take the day, so I did.
I need to update the BRQG sometime soon.
I think tomorrow I might be functional, too, but I might have to not be here during the workday to keep it together. I'm noticing that time has gotten slipperier than usual - the last couple of days seem like they have lasted a couple years, but also zipped by in the blink of an eye. Right now it looks like there are just a couple of things that need my attention at work, if that holds I think I'll be able to manage. The party on Friday, I don't know. I might hide in a corner until it's a reasonably polite time for me to leave.
