Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wrist still hurts today. Thinking maybe ER after work. Weird thing is it didn't hurt until like 24 hours later. Not sure what that means. Argh. Really praying it's not broken.

Hurting after the fact makes me think it's just strained -- like how your muscles feel worse days later after exercise? Good luck either way!

I'm staring down the barrel of 4 5-day work weeks in a row and I don't like it one bit.

I was just noticing that myself, and same.

Because books.

I'm so sorry, Gud.

meara, rest and ice! And I hope it's just a sprain/strain.

Laura, sending healing and loving vibes to Zoe, and to you.

Restrictions on all aspects of mac's life, but still allowing him the car and job for now. One failing grade at any point though and the job goes. More pot or me finding any more vaping pens and the car is gone. Any missed assignments and I'll be driving him to and from school.

I'm spending cyber Monday paying bills.

Atropa, if I thought it would do any good I would fly all of you down. He will just walk away and shut the door on any and everyone. He's rude and unengaged. He's a stereotype slacker.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

{{msbelle}} They make our hearts hurt. Dang kids.

Zen, Gud, I'm sorry for your absent friends.

sarameg, maybe you need one of those psycho notes on the fridge for your coworkers.

atropa, I'd ask you to come here, but the kids would probably just hide.

Laura, I hope Zoe's ills are much smaller than the least bad scenario imagined (awkward sentence alert).

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

My heart hurts for all the injured and grieving Buffistas out there.

What Jessica said. But I'm so thankful for this place and the chance to care for one another.

Hi Deena!

meara, I hope it is just a strain. Yikes.

Thanks, Laura, for the cheerleading. I have barely made a dent in grading. sigh. The papers I am reading are so very bad. ACK.

Dear Mac, this is your new life. Multiple texts from your mom. A job assigned to you for when you get home. Immediate question about a class situation with instruction to get it resolved today before you come home. Request for your weekly work schedule to be sent to me.

Failure to do any of this will = zero data on his phone.

I am not sure how long I'll have the energy to do this, but I have more time than money and I am smarter than him. Also angrier, but I'm trying to keep that in check.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm so sorry, Zen. {{{Zen}}}

So sorry, Gud. It's so hard.

Laura, so many good vibes for Zoe and a more hopeful outcome.

Another friend of mine had to put down her beloved cat this weekend. And between her and all the Wolfenoot people posting about beloved pets that have passed, FB has been a very tear-inducing place this weekend.

meara, I also think muscle-strain is more likely with the delayed reaction pain. I was thinking of the couple of occasions I went rock climbing - the next day my hands were a little stiff, but not so bad; the second day I could barely close them.

msbelle, you have the patience of a saint. Good luck.

In case I forgot anyone, love to you all. {{{Buffistas}}}

Our wings are not tired.

It is so much less energy, although more money, if they would do what they are supposed to do so they could be rewarded. I so feel your pain.
