Congrats on the job! Sorry about the scrapes.
I'm in my grumpy blanket fort, but my pillow is too close to the floor because every time I press my ear to it I hear a humming noise like I'm in The Matrix or something.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

The status is NOT quo.
Yay on job! Sorry about the scrape. I recommend the CVS brand Manuka Honey bandages. They're great for scrapes and burns. [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congrats on the job offer, Consuela.
I hope you get some rest, aurelia.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay job! Congratulations.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yay job! Boo fall. When I had a running fall last month, I washed the scrapes out with soap and water (ow), and used bandaids and neosporin for a couple of weeks. Then I went to letting them air out and scab up at home and using bandaids when I was out and about. The worst one, on my knee, is down to its last bit of healing now. You can't see where I banged up my elbow. So, I guess it was the right call? It might have healed faster/worse doing something else? Hard to say. At least half of my plan was motivated by keeping bodily fluids off my clothes and soft furnishings.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was exhausted most of the day because at 3am I had to console a distraught kitty. ISTG, I think she had a nightmare and woke up in the living room scared and alone.
I believe it. My Niko cat used to have nightmares and need snuggles.
Glad you got the job offer, Consuela.
FedEx woke me at 8am because they couldn't find my house, and then hung up on me as I was trying to give them directions. It's 8:40 and there's no sign of them. I guess they gave up and someone else will try tomorrow to navigate the dimensional rift I live in.

Whooo! Consuela. Or should that be TENTATIVE Whoo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, Consuela!
On the scrape front, I guess I recommend not doing nothing, because a couple really minor scrapes I got last summer are still visible and it's annoying. They were so minor, I didn't think to treat them at all!

We have a corpse flower in bloom in Denver. People are flipping out to go smell the thing. I'll pass, personally. When they hand out barf bags just to check out a flower...ummmm, pass.
