Having stuff nearby is huge. I can, if necessary and sometimes not, walk to work, grocery, pharm, market, auto shop,dentist..hell, I even walked home from the ER on Monday (possibly crazy, but I was ok to walk, really! I won't be repeating it after surgery, promise.)

It brings a great deal of assurance.

Yup! It's why I never want to leave the city!

2 gifts taken care of. Part of E's taken care of.

PARENTS!! Why are parents so HARD!

ION, I have a nagging feeling like I have wronged someone and need to apologize. No idea what or who. Maybe I dreamed something. If I did something to someone here, I honestly don't know and it was most likely not intentional.

And you've got eateries and more interesting retail nearby. I lament our lack of even a neighborhood pub like the Dizz.

Gallbladder attack has got to be the weirdest weight loss plan ever. Just looked at my records and my surgeon visit was down 3lbs from the er 2 days before and I was fully dressed this time. Checked the scale and it's not wrong. Headcolds always give me an aversion to food, but now having an EXTRA pain aversion to food (I'm living off applesauce, graham crackers, fruit and oatmeal) I'm not keeping up with energy use. Which I'd work on, but I don't want to tease the dragon. I just have to get to the 12th. I want good cheese, but it terrifies me.

Normally food posts make me go yum! Right now, I recoil.

Confirmation! My uni results have been posted online. I got 89% for my final subject. Seven years of study are done!

Yay, the Master of Finance!

I've got a hospital just across the street from my place, I can see the ER sign from the main entrance. A nurse lives in my complex and walks to work. The LifeFlight choppers come over my building, but it's a small hospital, not a trauma center, so the choppers are rare.

Huzzah, billytea!

We're good, msbelle.

Wishing pain-ease for you, sarameg.

Congratulations master Billytea!

I got zero done today. I woke up with a headache, took painkiller, ended up only feeling more nauseated, took migraine meds, tried to nap, still felt shitty, napped some more...haven't gotten out of my pajamas all day. Watched a tv show, read a bit, going to bed soon and hoping tomorrow is a restart.

Congrats, billytea!

I got zero done today.

That was my yesterday. I'm concerned about tomorrow, because I have some meetings I really need to go to, but I'm not sure my body can handle it.

I made a hot toddy and I'm going to bed soon.

Congratulations, billytea!

sara, you're a force of nature. I hope you get over the cold and get the gallbladder resolved, and get back to (your) normal ASAP.

That's a fabulous start, msbelle.
