Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Thanks, dcp -- I definitely hadn't thought of those. I'll make a list to follow up on.

Dentist visit involved unexpected oral surgery -- the implant (noun) failed, which just means it didn't implant (verb) in my jaw and decided to leave the premises. The dentist said that can happen, and he gave me a different type of bone graft, and I'll get a replacement implant in a few weeks. The upside to unexpected oral surgery is that the dentist played David Bowie.

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

More zombified jaw?

Yeah, apparently the first bone graft was bovine, but today's was human zombie bone graft. I didn't realize I was part cow. But now I am more zombie than cow. What a day.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yikes, Steph! I'm way way overdue for dental work.

I shall follow your implant story with interest, Steph, since that will be my next step (hoping it will be a successful one) after I get my braces off.

Voted just now and am finishing up dinner out. Treat yo'self-style.

Airport food is ridiculous. I just spent all the money for mediocre crap. Sigh. And the plane is delayed so I’ll probably be home around midnight…which will feel like 3am. And apparently my heat is not working—the friend who is staying at my house turned it on but it’s not heating. So gotta figure that one out too.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S was discharged yesterday, and is back in the partial hospitalization program. He’s staying with the nanny as Gary left on Tuesday for the code hearings. (Me and Mr. S alone for more than one hour is a disaster waiting to happen)

Tomorrow I fly out to Columbus for OVFF. Gary will join me there sometime on Saturday. At some point, I need to pack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sheryl, I hope you're getting enough support for yourself in all of this.

human zombie bone

Fun! As much as bone grafts can be. Mac will be getting cadaver bone in his foot in a week which I assume they meant human cadaver. He failed to get either time or place of surgery at his appointment while I was on vacation, so I’m hoping he contacts them soon for that. I’ll only nudge so much for my own mental health. One thing vacation showed me is how much happier I am when I am only dealing with myself and what I need. Selfish feelings aside, it was good to note. I didn’t bite my nails, have gi stuff or anxiety rushes for a full week.

I voted yesterday, so happy to fill those bubbles.

Sheryl is a residential facility a long term option for Mr. S? Does he not act out with the nanny?
