Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I know I could Google, but camel case???

So. Fucking. Exhausted. I got to relax some yesterday when my BFF came over for dinner. After she left I got on a role dealing with some convention prep stuff and suddenly it was 1:30am. I think I fell asleep around 2am. I woke up around 7:00am, but didn't get out of bed until 7:30. Now I'm trying to get my head in the game and I am just not a person who can survive on five hours sleep. I am absolutely an eight hours sleeper who can deal with seven upon occasion.

Le sigh. I have a fairly full work schedule today and a couple of research projects for school, plus I'm getting my purple updated this evening. Well, I can absolutely zone out during that process.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

CamelCase is when you capiTalize letters in the midDle of a word.

Zen, stop it with the hospitals! I mean, it's good that you're getting treatment, but still.

Researchers will do it so that they can come up with their precious acronyms.

Zen, may they get that under control and up your hemoglobin (I'm assuming that is the direction it needs to go) quickly. After that - you have used up your medical emergency allotments for the year. Ok, ok, yes, if you fall down another volcano, you can have them take you to the ER, but then you are just repeating yourself.

Oh my giddy aunt. Why? Why would you EVER do that unless you are a 12 year old?

Here, Motivation, here. Come to Suzi. Quit running away. Stop pulling on your leash. Sit. Stay.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My mom's heart surgery is tomorrow morning, and the extended family is driving me insane. I've had various family members tell me to call them when surgery is over, 1 wants an email when surgery is over, and 1 wants a Facebook message when surgery is over.

I told everyone "I will send a text when surgery is over, because there are so many people who want to be updated that the easiest way to do that is to send a group text." Random Cousin In Akron Who I Don't Even Know replied with "I check Facebook messages on my phone -- send me a Facebook message." Bitch, you have a phone, so you can clearly receive texts. Leave me alone.

I am perhaps a bit tense. But seriously, I'm not contacting people through 4 different methods. If you don't want a text, you don't get updated.

I mean, I'll call my brother, but that seems like something that everyone should understand. If you aren't my brother, you don't get a phone call, so fuck off.

You do whatever is easiest for you. If Facebook cousin keeps pushing tell him to ask someone on the group text to FB message him. There is no reason that can't be delegated to someone not!Teppy.

That crud aside - Teppy, I wish your mom the smoothest surgery possible with bonus easy healing. I also send you calming~ma through all of this.

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

Health~ma, Zen. I hope they get the bleeding problem under control quickly.

Surgery~ma for your mother, Steph. And back-off~ma for the various cousins who can't be bothered to check a text.

I am not very calm as of today. I was pretty good at logic-ing my way through this until now. And all the logic is still true, but my lizard brain is like "NOPE PANIC NOW IGNORE WORK AND PANIC."

And everyone who doesn't want a text will just have to wait. (I'm just expecting that Facebook Cousin will start sending me FB messages around noon tomorrow. And I'm going to delete them.)

Report them as spam and see if facebook will delete the account. Then she'll HAVE to find things out via another method!

Yikes Zen! Wishing no bleeding and industrious marrow your way!
