Wow, Epic, that sounds like kind of an ordeal but so fascinating! I hope it does what it is supposed to do.
All of that! Yikes!
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tim’s ultrasound is all clear. We’re waiting to see if the doctor wants to prescribe a diuretic. And then we’re getting Mediterranean food for lunch.

Big claustrophobia yikes.
It was a problem my first few "dives". Thankfully, one of the attendants recommended bringing sudoku (up to that point I had just been bringing a book) and that engages just enough more of the mind that it got me over the hump to where I have a much easier time of it now. Also, finding that one of my watches was rated to 30 meters (we only "go" to 45 feet) so I can wear it in the chamber was a godsend. The sense of time gets a little wonky so it helps to be able to keep an eye on it for myself.

Yay for clot-free Tim! Enjoy your lunch! (Mediterranean sounds good!)

It says something's about me that my response.to that was, "Good. Good. BRILLIANT!"
I mean, I think it says that I like Mediterranean food a lot, but... priorities?
I think my last one was 21. So I'm just over halfway done. The good news is that everyone says that the second half (of the 40 treatments) is when you really start to see results. So hopefully I'll be seeing some improvement soon
Good and yes to that!

We continue to get physical snail mail, and her inbox continues to fill up with AO3 comments to her great delight.
The package from Fay came yesterday, as well as a lovely painting from Stitch, and card from vw. Emily Stuckey's card came and mail just brought a card from ChiKat.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
USPS tracking very helpfully informs me that my package will arrive later than expected and that it is somewhere between here and there.

Tomorrow I get to learn a manager lesson I'd rather not deal with: I have to fire an employee.
(Did I mention I'm a manager now? I am. I have 8 people reporting to me. This is weird.)

Ugh, Atropa. Good luck!

That's hard, Atropa. Best of... managing it, honestly. Congratulations on the team, though!
