I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Much ~ma for all that to work out, Liese!

My eye has been lasered, and it's responding nicely. Five minutes with the laser, but it was weirdly uncomfortable. I don't know what it would have felt like without the numbing (which I think was necessary for all the poking the poor eyeball went through). I didn't feel it in my eye, but with each pulse there was a pressure inside my head and a very unpleasant metallic snapping sound like those spring steel snappers you can get. It zinged around my skull and poked me right above my spine. And there was a vibration in my sinuses. I don't know if the machine was making a noise at a weird pitch or some effect of the laser itself. The doc nodded in recognition of my complaint. I think I'll try earplugs next week and see if it's sound or vibration.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate getting lasered in the eye more than getting an injection in the eye. Although that might be because I had Valium for the latter but not the former.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope everything falls into place, Liese!

Ugh Connie, sounds uncomfortable, although very living-in-the-future!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm going to take a stand against getting anythinged in the eye. Especially without valium.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I really want a nap.

I really do not want a laser in my eye.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Frickin' lasers!

A nurse stood behind me to help hold my head still, but I was told I was very good about not moving. I was staring down the barrel of a laser that was going to preserve my eyesight. Frozen as a terrified baby fawn under a bush, doc, you do your job, I'll do mine.

Hey, Jilli, have you ever been to ScareLA?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Sounds unpleasant, Connie. I hope you won't have to undergo too many treatments.

Calli, any time I start to work out I am starving all the time ridiculously. Even if I just went to an extra yoga class or something.
Not just me, then? Well, that's reassuring. Thanks!

Tomorrow I'm off to a family event in MI. My nephew's getting married this weekend. His fiance is delightful--I'm so glad she's joining the family.
