ita, have you tried marijuana? Apparently indica strains are good with nerve/muscle pain. You can get it in the form of hard candies which are slow-release. I haven't tried them, but I hear good things. Pretty easy to get a card if you don't have one, or maybe you could ask someone you know with a card to pick you up some.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Amy, yeah. We'll see what happens later tonight. Good thing I have a very relaxing yoga class at 8; I think I'll need it. And a glass of wine.
ita, the MJ suggestion is a good one, but my god, I feel so badly for you, and I wish I had superpowers, like healing powers or at least teleportation so I could blink over and help you.

I hope in the hours since you've found some healthy respite, ita.
I dislike having meetings run by people in the late afternoon who don't know how to keep it on focus or end it. I just wanted to go home...

I have that for travel now that I'm a French press pot woman. Used to be my main coffee maker when I was a one cup, not 3. Ish.
So this weekend I had cleared off and decluttered my coffee table. I've now bruised/scraped both knees on its corners. Maybe I needed the clutter to notice its spacial location...

not your mom's socks.
I've just read 285 posts.
Ita, I'm sending you all the good "make shit work out" vibes I can. Brenda, how's your dad's foot?
We have an aeropress that we love, but we dream about espresso fairly often.
I have absolutely zero love for a certain recruiter who practices bait-and-switch tactics on busy biochemists. Zero.
