OMG, JZ, that sounds terrible.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
THANK YOU, TEP! I needed that validation.
Now that I found them, I even remember thinking when I shoved them in the back pocket "at least I will notice they are there when I sit down". Apparently not? Maybe I got them off my body before I sat down, that would explain it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Holy schnork JZ, what a miserable car trip! Beautifully narrated, btw. Rest up, and I hope the various gastrointestinal explosions are over.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Sounds miserable, JZ. I'm sorry.

Hey have folks here seen this? It is super groovy funsville.
I am going to start using my birth word All. The. Time.

JZ, feel better soon. I had that once. But was home. Ugh.
Anything I intended to do today that involved getting in a car has not happened. Which is pretty much everything. I'll go swimming. That'll probably be it for the day. Oops.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, JZ! My heart goes out to you! What a horrific experience. May you all recover swiftly and have...I can think of anything that would make it up to you. Rides on unicorns?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, JZ, how completely awful for all of you. You poor things. I won't say there's nothing worse than a family struck with explosive intestinal upset but it sure feels like there's nothing worse at the time. I hope you all are feeling better by now.
(A friend of mine ran a mommy blog when her kids were babies, and she used to refer to vomit and diarrhea as Rainbows and Flowers, to avoid having to talk about it while talking about it. Flowers, Flowers everywhere, how do they keep making more Flowers.)
My birth word is cyberculture, which both surprises and pleases me.
I once lost my keys because I put them in the back pocket of my jeans, instead of the front, where I always put them. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. (I should note that I was actually wearing the jeans, so you'd think I'd notice the keys shoved against my bottom. Alas, no. Totally unaware.)
I once lost my car keys - with the big key fob and the house key and the endless little store cards - IN MY BRA. I didn't have any pockets, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I guess they were there long enough for me to get used to the feeling of them and thus stop noticing them, before I needed them again and had to go looking. "It seemed like a good idea at the time" will probably be on my tombstone.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
JZ, here's hoping that this miserable experience has given you antibodies to protect you for the next 3-4 years.

Hmm, my word is chocoholic. But I'm not that much of a fan of chocolate. Ah, well.
