Sorry, Zen. In those situations, I try to comfort myself with the knowledge that the doctors or nurses have always seen worse.
There's also no dignity involved with a steroid shot aimed right around your tailbone.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
When I delivered Brendon I was annoyed with the gown and took it off and stayed naked. My mom just shrugged and said there was no dignity in a hospital and I might as well get comfy.
Really glad that your sister is able to come and help you out, Zen. Who knew you were going to create so many memories this vacation? I hope the trip home is well medicated so you are able to be comfortable.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Oh, Poor Zen! That's totally adding insult to injury! Well, at least you know you won't have to mess with it when you're hobbling at home without nurses to help?

Also, everything that Laura said.

Thrive to spite them
I went into some kind of avoidance spiral and have done nothing for the library job. I'm ashamed of that but I'm finally doing some work.
I did have a lot of anxiety and I have made emotional progress and I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but I feel like I'm letting not just myself down but other people too.
Spent most of yesterday feeling like a sullen teenager. I feel like I should apologize. Anyway the big break through in my life is I believe that how people see me - you guys , my parents, Will, etc --is true. I may not see certain things myself, but it doesn't mean it's not there it means I can't let myself see it yet.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
For your information - this is a real article: US Energy Dept. To Trump: Lalalalala We Can't Hear You, Wind Power Rocks!
Also, I understand that the FBI is executing a search warrant on a GOP fundraising company in Annapolis ... possible RICO charges ....

Playing the long game of being in opposition to Trump so he looks good after Trump goes down?

I'm not convinced he can spell "long game", let alone play one.

Weirdly enough, Texas has actually embraced wind power so this doesn't actually surprise me that much. It's not an environmental thing, more that they saw a cash cow that trumped Oil Uber Alles. The environmental impact is just an unfortunate side effect.

Art Crawl!!!
Zen - that is terrible. . . and I just imagine that Icelandic medicine is better than the average USian experience.
Also - Chicago posted the climate change stuff that the EPA had to take down on it's website. Have other cities done something similar?
