Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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

is setting the building on fire excessive?

Certainly Expressive!

You make me feel better about the scheduling and messaging snafus I was dealing with last week, Dana!

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.

I can think of no spitefuller curse than to hope that amy's realtor needs a neurologist and Dana's neurologist needs a realtor and somehow they find each other.

I missed you lot, I really did.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Boo to Dana's neurologist and amyparker's realtor.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow- that is some not professional work on the realtor AND the neurologist.

Scrappy is back from the vet and stoned.
I was momentarily confused! Also, have we seen Scrappy lately.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Second Sheryl's suggestion.

And also JZ's.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got my botox done, and after that, the medical assistant managed to show me someone else's medical record. So yeah, I will not be keeping that six-week followup.

Wow Dana! That is bad. I have to take so much HIPPA training as just medical adjacent, I just can’t imagine.

My Drs office pet peeve is very particular- perhaps JZ gets this to, but perhaps not. I work at a teaching hospital. I always get the trainees. I always have to reexplain what the doctor told them to do. I am not sure if they are comfortable asking because I work at the School of Nursing, but I am actually not a nurse! I don’t know if they just see me as comforting because I work teaching nurses, but as soon as the Dr leaves, they ASK ME what they should do. Do they ask other patients, because that would be weird? It was especially bad when I had my head to toe peeling skin rash because I actually never got s diagnosis. I ended up following the advice of a colleague nurse who told me to try Aquaphor, which works. In the meantime I feel like 10,000 dermatology students saw me naked.

Yikes!

I'm still not over the time the doctor called in a medical student (a young woman) to look at my then-problematic bum.

Our wings are not tired.

We gave up at 5:30 this morning and started back to work. Finishing the packing. My body is sore; DH's is worse. But the packing will finish today no matter what! Last thing to go is my computer, because of course I still have to work!

A silly part of my job, last night I set up one of my doctors to work from home, and you would think I gave him a puppy and a kitty. He was just tickled pink and graciously grateful. It is a whole lot easier when they are sweet than when they are miserable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett and his gf, Kalena, spent the night at the Garden Unit. The first of our family to sleep there!

It's not really together yet, but they brought their sleeping bags and there were some mattresses to flop on. They were pretty giddy about going out to dinner in SF and the DeYoung museum to celebrate Kalena's birthday.
