If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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

JenP, I’m sorry about the shingles.

Seconded. But thank you for the reminder that I need to reach out to my doctor's office because they forgot to put in the order for my second shingles shot so I've been thus far unable to get scheduled to get it.

Pix, all kinds of love and as much ethereal support as I can send through the intertubes. (And as someone who didn't sign up for the card exchange this year because Some Big Things Are Big And Get In The Way - your Things Are Big and everyone understands that they have Gotten In The Way).

Shir, thank you so much for doing your best to find (and be) the positive in a really effing hard situation. You're inspiring.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm working too hard. I've been working at a new medical practice and they are very needy. Lots of handholding.

I get it. After how slow things got the last few weeks of December, this thing where I suddenly have things to do is a real slap in the face. "You want me to do what? Why would I do that? ... Oh yeah, it's literally my job. Righty- O!"

I've been sick since the 31st, so I didn't get to enjoy the holiday or the shortened week. Bah.

Yeah I’m in the very “but I don’t WANT to do my job!” part of reacclimati g after a very slow December. But people keep wanting things from me.

I'm at the "I guess I'm not laid off so now I have to do my job" stage.

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

While I do not have a job, I have, in fact, been working all morning because I have guests arriving this afternoon.

So, not only did I have to clean the Guinea Pig cage by myself (and it was two days overdue. Overpoo?) But some of the Xmas eve cooking happened down in the Garden apartment and it had been left in the sink for a couple weeks. Soooo, that was a fun cleanup.

Now I just have to vacuum before they arrive and then I will whisk them off to Japantown for ramen and poking around.

Right?!? People are the worst.

I'm at the "I guess I'm not laid off so now I have to do my job" stage.

Unfortunately mixed "Yay!" with "Aw, darn!"

Now THAT sounds like a tough job. AND you won't be paid for it. Booo!

I will whisk them off to Japantown for ramen and poking around.

Yay!!

Their flight came in an hour and a half early!

I had to turbo vacuum. They're in the cab from the airport.
