This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wooo!

Our wings are not tired.

I audibly exhaled when I read your update, Pix.

I am now getting emails inviting me to "WTFNB" events, which I am unable to see as anything other than What The Fuck, Non-Binary.
I just read this and audibly snorted. That's AMAZING.

BOO ANTS.

I've agreed to let them shoot my hip with cortisone on Thursday morning. I am such a freak when it comes to shots that I am seriously anxious, but the other attempts at painkillers just don't work and give me side effects. PT is going well, but it would be a real bonus if the hip didn't hurt all the time.

I got a cortisone shot in my hip, and it wasn't that painful at all, and it really helped. Hoping you have a similar outcome!

Whew, Pix, what a relief!

meara, I'm weirdly relieved it's not just us with an ant problem all of a sudden. (Wait...are the ants taking over Seattle?)

That’s good, Pix. I’m glad you’ll be able to get that resolved.

Boo ants indeed.

I hope the shot helps, Laura. My sister got one in her knee, and she’s been able to put off surgery for over a year. They can be pretty miraculous.

Our wings are not tired.

As anxious as I am about getting the shot, I can't take painkillers and the notion of taking them indefinitely didn't sound like a great plan either.

Boo Ants, indeed.

Punishingly Intricate

So relieved to hear , Pix!

We get those little tiny ants every year. Sometimes upstairs, sometimes down. Always gross.
