TESLA. Hell yeah.
We're in the fancy business lounge at Icelandair waiting for our flight. It looks like the insurance company bought us *3* first class tickets.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Laura, that sounds very cool! And how flattering that he was pretty much recruited.
Zen, I'm so glad that at least you are being well taken care of during all this mess.
Dana, that sucks! I wish pain meds didn't have such terrible side effects.
Just saw my therapist for the first time in a month. I love her. She helps keep my rambling on track and choose the important skills I need to work on. Now off to pick up my helpers and go to the shop.

No bloodwork for me! I can't drive myself because it's too painful to sit. I probably should have realized this, but I guess I didn't want to think about it. Now I'm going to have to ask my poor husband to miss more work.

Laura, that's awesome.
Dana, I'm sorry.
Zen, I hope you have easy trip home. I'm glad the insurance company is taking good care of you.
I think ltc has inherited her daddy's appetite. She asked for more dinner twice last night. And more breakfast three times, although I cut her off at three portions of oatmeal. And then still asked for seconds at lunch. I'm amazed.

Do you have a third person with you? Or you, your sister, and your leg?

Sounds like a growth spurt is on its way. Is she sleeping more than normal? With my kids that was usually the next step and then grow, grow, grow.
Work is busy but I've hit brain melt and an taking an internet break to see if that helps. Kinda like a brain reset.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I can't drive myself because it's too painful to sit. I probably should have realized this, but I guess I didn't want to think about it.
Ugh, I remember how shitty that is. I'm glad the surgery was scheduled so quickly so that you don't have to deal with this pain for much longer.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I don't know if anyone is good at this loss of independence, but I'm definitely not happy with it. Pretty much the only thing I can do is either lie on the couch or lie on the bed. (Actually, I guess I'm pretty good with that part.)
But needing my husband to get me things, to do all of the chores, to run the errands -- it's getting really old. For him too, I'm sure.

AND the can of Coke I just opened was flat. You have failed me, Cherry Coke Zero.

It could definitely be a growth spurt. She did the similar thing a couple weeks ago too. She'll often go a couple days without eating much and then make up for it. I try not to make a big deal of it either way. Today was just an extreme example.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, that sounds very cool! And how flattering that he was pretty much recruited.
It is! I am really proud of him. When your 22 year old son's GF's parents say he is the son they never had and what that hoped for in a son-in-law, and her boss wants to hire him, he is doing something right. Lots of things. He is quite a good guy.
Zen, I hope you have easy trip home. I'm glad the insurance company is taking good care of you.
Seriously! The last thing you need is battles and it is a relief to hear that the trip home is being as effortless as possible.

Growth spurts are pretty amazing. It is stunning how much growing children can consume.
But needing my husband to get me things, to do all of the chores, to run the errands -- it's getting really old. For him too, I'm sure.
I'm sorry it is so frustrating, Dana. Remember that you would do for him if the situation were reversed. I hope this is all behind you soon. Independence is wonderful, but simply not always possible.
