Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

I'm home from the hospital! I have a bunch of meds for pain management and instructions to rest interspersed with gentle movement. It was a bulging disk pressing on a nerve, ugh.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

OW! So relieved that you're home!

Yay for not being in the hospital!

Merry Christmas, all. Healthier and happier 2020.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Merry Christmas from a half hour before Boxing Day!

Merry Christmas!

I had weird depressing dreams but am hoping the movies with my sister will be good. We will start with little women and then see what second movie we might like that we can get to in time.

I'm home from the hospital!

Yay! I had a sad face thinking of you in a hospital gown.

Merry Christmas! Sipping adult beverages and watching Doctor Who.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, I think the $6K is because a) the hot water tank is from Sears originally, so it may be hiked up in price because they're going out of business and not making any more and b) I think the plumber is hiking the rates until his nose bleeds.

Of course, it was Rosemary talking to the Actual Plumber after I left, so god alone knows what kind of telephone game of Actual Information was exchanged. And she wouldn't think to ask, "Oh, can we use a different hot water heater which would cost less?"

Bottom line, I don't trust any of the info that I've got so far, and will check with some other reputable companies before I decide what to do.

I sure wish I could take a hot shower this morning, but oh well.
