The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"Scanxiety." I still get it, too.

Keep a log or diary. Soon the cycles and events will start to blend together in your memory, you will be glad to have documentation you can turn to for review.

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

Nurse said we'd be done in two hours which keeps us well under on our clock countdown, so we're good.

I'm going for a little walk while JZ rests.

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

Timelies all!

This morning started off badly. My car got rear-ended on the on ramp to 270.(The on-ramps have lights on them to meter the traffic) I was waiting for the car ahead of me to move when I got hit. Luckily there was a cop just behind us, and insurance information was exchanged.

I'm alright, my car's rear bumper needs some work. I filed a claim with my insurance and have an appointment first thing Monday morning at the body shop. I just need to get in touch with Enterprise for a car rental.(Insurance set things up, but they called the home number, and by the time I could call them back, they were closed. Luckily they're open tomorrow morning.)

Glad your son seems to be okay, Laura!

Happy belated Birthday, Toddson!

I wonder how the guy who drove up to the cafe as I was leaving in his giant SUV with front wheels jacked up so high he might not be able to see the road and base thumping out of his speakers as infrasound would react to the knowledge that he immediately inspired the thought "just how small can a penis get, anyway?"

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. Good you are okay, but dealing with insurance and body shops is a pain.

"just how small can a penis get, anyway?"

There are so many times when DH and I say "so sorry about your penis, dude" when various vehicles offend the serenity of A1A.

Eeep. My hockey game is tied and I am hoping for my team to lose. What will be will be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wait, why do you want them to lose?

Bum side of private suite, no windows. However, that let me sleep and sleep and sleep the infusion away, which let me stay awake most of the night, which makes me think there's more than one bum side to private suite.

All the private suites have mezuzahs in the doorways, which his definitely not a bum side.

dcp, I'm so sorry, for him, for you, for his wife and all the what-ifs.

Happy belated, toddson! Whenever I hear/read your name I think of the first time I saw you in person, all dressed up for the F2F prom in DC, and thinking, "She's the most regal, majestic person I've ever seen."

Also not bum, I spat out a 10K word story. Waiting for the right time to post (apparently there's Greenwich Mean Time and new story alerts and what-all to consider), but I wrote again! I don't care if it's fic, it's writing and it doesn't suck and I'm just so happy.

YAY writing! I'm so happy for you, JZ.

I feel like about the time my mother died so did most of my drive to write. I still read a lot of fic, but my creative output is limited to the yearly 3-sentence ficathon these days...

I'm so sorry. It seems like the worst loss to get past in so many ways. Writing could still happen again, though. I know I had no expectations of ever writing again after a couple of decades without, and then *bam* I got hit up sideways by a new show that broke open all kinds of locked-up things in me.

If our team didn't clinch the series last night they would have played at home tomorrow and we had tickets. But they won! Which cool, they go to the next level, but no doubt the tickets will be seriously pricey. I mean it was over $500 for the last round, and that is as far as my loyalty goes. I'll be refunded now that they won the series. Likely can get full-season tickets for next year for less than the next-round tickets. Anyway, go Panthers!

"She's the most regal, majestic person I've ever seen."

Indeed. I remember this well.

but I wrote again! I don't care if it's fic, it's writing and it doesn't suck and I'm just so happy.

And this makes me happy!
