But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Brenda, I'm so sorry about Mozzie.

Ah, I'm so glad you finally have the surgery date, Epic. That's huge progress.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry about Mozzie and Shelby's health problems. Much ~ma to them and their people.

Loving living things can be hard. Beautiful, but hard.

Well said.

Epic, I'm glad you have a date and can start planning around it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Best wishes for Shelby, Cass

Glad you have a date set, Epic!

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

Timelies all!

I usually talk to my folks on Sunday. Last Sunday my dad mentioned that he had blood in his urine and was going to the urologist to try to find out the source. He calls tonight to say there's a mass of some sort, and that a biopsy will be done. Hopefully it'll turn out to be something easily dealt with. I just wish he didn't feel the need to give me all the details of how they found it. TMI, Dad.

Dad~ma, Sheryl

Hey, guess what my department is doing? Reorganizing! Again! It's not a big change for me at this point, because I was already in an uncertain state waiting for waveforms to collapse (and still am until they hire someone above me), and I think everyone knew that duties and responsibilities were going to be shifting, but some of the who-reports-to-whom changes are catching people off guard.

Well, to be fair, it is a day that ends in "y"

ND makes an excellent point.

That is so

I suppose some day we will go more than a few weeks without reorganizing and I won't know what to do with myself

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

TMI, Dad.

I feel that way about my brother's prostrate issues but I figure body parts having issues are just part of life at this point. So I've been working on getting rid of the oddness and just accepting that bodies are made of parts, and they aren't scandalous. It's a work in progress.

We had 35 feet of fencing come completely down in storms and today all of the materials we needed to replace the section in the same design as the other three sides (it was a plain wood fence that was already in place previously) were in. Two trips to Tetris the wood and wire mesh into small cars. With a bonus trip to Home Depot to get more screws. I was so focused on getting the right wood that we missed checking screws. So hopefully by Monday, we will be able to let Shelby pup out for more than supervising the construction.
