I don't know how effectively I can guard against trolls, but I'll try!
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Zen, oy. I hope the surgery puts it as right as it can be. Bone~ma galore.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm rather miffed that cartilage apparently doesn't regenerate. Because it doesn't have a blood supply. This is not good design, Evolution.

Yikes, Zen! I hope good things for you.
Also, I see that Trump is canceling raises for federal employees citing that it would be inappropriate with the current deficit. What a dick move.
It is, but apparently Congress can overrule him, which they did last year. So I'm hoping for that. The 1.9% will be nice, but the 25% increase in locality pay will be great, if we can get it...
I just had a nice visit with a friend who went to Vividcon, and we watched Dana's vid on the big tv, and it was lovely!

Stupid Design! Proof of Godlessness!
If it's any consolation my cartilage seems to be evaporating any old way without Volcano interference. Practically grinding bone on bone in my knees and I don't suppose chugging glucosamine will do much.
I don't suppose that's any consolation at all.
What I mean to say is: Fuck! I am very sorry you need to be bolted back together.

David, yeah, it was probably going to happen someday anyway. I've been taking a glucosamine supplement for years to stave off the inevitable. I do think it works, but it may not be up to the task of complete regeneration! Sorry about your knees! Seems like they could replace cartilage with cartilage from a cadaver, if there's no blood supply it seems like there would be little to no concern about rejection. But I am not a doctor, so what do I know.

Lots of ankle-ma Zen. Sorry there are so many problems.

It's just so... overt. Blow a big hole in the budget with a massive tax cut that mostly benefits the wealthy, then cite the budget as a reason to freeze federal employee pay while the economy is growing pretty decently though middle and lower class wages are stagnate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Boo, Zen! I hope it gets fixed for good.
