I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

Aw, LiveJournal. Those were the days.

I'm finally using my markers that have a paintbrush-like tip. Super fun.

Oh, neat! I'm slowly going through recorded, uh, seminars? Workshops? Thingies from a conference for nature journaling. Anyway, doing that with my mom and some of them are, like, art techniques you might want to explore or whatever. The one we did last involved "brush pens" which might be what you are talking about? Pretty neat. Today is something about data visualization which will probably be a change of pace from the art stuff, but who knows?

I saw my doctor about my hip, and she said it sounds like a labrum tear, and the next step is an MRI, and presumably after that I see an orthopedist. At least if I need surgery it would be arthroscopic. In the meantime I have steroids, which should help the pain, and I have an excellent Reuben for lunch.

That sounds right (I just went out, so i can't check the actual name). I love them.

Nature journaling sounds cool!

Steph, I hope it's as smooth a road to pain free hipdom as possible.

Yay, Reuben and I hope the pain relief is immediate and thorough

Good job self-diagnosing, bio-medical editor!

Dang, your household is really getting hit with the surgical repairs this year. Have you considered asking for fewer medical emergencies?

In the meantime I have steroids, which should help the pain, and I have an excellent Reuben for lunch.

A round of steroids and reubens for my friends!

I have boxed up three (3!) whole boxes to mail, and am about to traipse off to the P.O. Mail often gets bottlenecked at the getting it in boxes and addressed stage, so this is a minor triumph.

Damn it, I knew I forgot to do something! Maybe I can fix that going forward.
