Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Hope you both start feeling better, askye.

Yay for new curvy windows!

Boo for slow maintenance.

Went to and orthopedist this morning, because I was suspicious of the duration and type of pain my arm was still having even though ER said no fracture -- yeah, there is a non-displaced fracture at the radial head near the elbow.

I feel vindicated that my gut was right that it wasn't just bruising and at the same time annoyed with myself for not following up with a specialist sooner, but...

Anyway, same directions for taking care of it as I've been doing anyway + some Tramadol for pain and a sling to use for a week if it helps.

But mostly, vindication!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But mostly, vindication!

Sweet, sweet vindication! It's better than Tramadol. (Usually.)

My arm felt better almost immediately...

I'm not suggesting it, just questioning their judgment.

Word. I didn't want to antagonize the person coming to fix it and I'm sure they encounter unreasonable people a lot, but I wasn't going to file an emergency request for a slow drip.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Meara!

As it turns out, we are all going to Chicago for Worldcon, me on Thursday and Gary & Mr. S on Friday as Mr. S has school starting tomorrow.

Vindication is always sweet, even if having a fracture is worse than not having one! But ouch, take care!!

Yikes, Jen. Feel better.

The kids party went well. The few parents that were there were nice and easy to talk to and the kids had fun. Today's meet up with her new classmates at the park, nsm. There were far more parents there, they all seem to know each other, and I have no idea how to talk to any of them. ltc had fun and knew most of the new classmates from the playground and cafeteria last year.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

After 20 days of no communication, mac texted last night and he is ready to take me up on my offer to move in with me to save money and figure some things out. Of course his eviction notice says he has to be out 9/4, so I have almost no time to try and coordinate this, but we will get it done.

My cousin who is an hour away is going to help out with logistics.

The next 4 days are going to be a whirlwind.

Glad the party went well, sj, and that things look good for new classmate situation.

msbelle, will be sending you all good vibes for this transition.

Our wings are not tired.

Much ~ma for a smooth transition, msbelle.

Little miss social butterfly will have no problems making new friends.

I'm glad she had a good time at her party. I've only seen her the one time, but I was impressed with how comfortable she was with a group of strangers and just played away happily with her buddy.
