I'm sorry, amyth. I hope this is the last of the work-related travel you have to deal with for a while. It's so tiring.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Amyth, that sounds awful.
On a vaguely related note, my sister and BIL are going to be moving to Greenville, SC!
I am pouting because I wanted them to move to Seattle. Not that my BIL actually had any interviews here, but whatever! I sent him jobs (that were actually jobs he'd take!) and I don't know if he applied for any. :(

Thanks. I am still at work, but I contacted the board member I'm carpooling to Greenville with tomorrow, and she offered to drive (YAS!), and she has a conference call until noon, so she's not picking me up until 12:30, so I can hopefully be at home the whole time the plumber is at my place, which will be good for kitty anxiety. Also, more time to sleep, do laundry, and pack.
And the NPR person was SO nice about me backing out of the pledge drive.
I also think I've found an orthopedist in NY, which is my go-to when I can't find a doctor I like around here. It may be extreme, but after bouncing around between neurologists who couldn't get my seizures under control for years (and that's why I broke my kneecap in the first place, which led to the torn meniscus) Dr. Devinsky changed my life. I never liked my orthopedist down here, so I feel like skipping the painful searching process and finding a Magic NYC Doctor, even if that isn't really a thing. I like to think that it's a thing.

meara, Greenville, SC is actually a really cute town! I'll take some pictures and post them to FB tomorrow. If it weren't far away from everything I want to go to and everyone I know, I wouldn't mind living there.

Came home, and my knee finally gave up for good. I'm back on crutches. On the plus side, my landlord noticed that my deadbolt sticks and replaced it.
On the minus side, blah. I can't even get upset. Things are just going to suck for a while.

That sucks, amyth. Do you need anything tonight? I can run out for food, tp, whatever.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry so much suck is happening to you, amyth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, amyth! That is a lot of sucky. I'm sorry.
I had dinner and Jeopardy with my mother and her college roommate who was already coming to town, so that was nice. And I got a bunch of flowers delivered! So nice, but how do I keep the cat from eating them? There is literally no where he doesn't go.

Hand them from the ceiling fixture?
Amyth, too much suck, but I'm glad some things are giving you a break.

Perfect. I could put them in the spare bedroom I'm keeping him out of so my mother can stay there tomorrow, but then I can't see them!
