That is a good report, Steph. Continuing the ~ma for quick and effective treatment.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Glad for Tim's good result but wishing it was one-and-done for him.
I remember my mom's cancer required a lot of radiation in her throat which made eating difficult. Lots of Ensure.
Wishing you both lots of get-through-this.

Glad for good results, Tep! Continuing Tim~ma. And yay fanfic!
Also glad to hear M is taking steps however small, yay Magic!
I'm still eyeing Dungeon Crawler Carl on your rec, askye, but it's gonna have to take a backseat until my TBR is not quite so loomy. Two books I'm pretty excited about on my hold list just came available, Automatic Noodle (I mostly love the title, but I always enjoy Annalee Newitz so I know it will be good) and Zomromcom from the author of Spoiler Alert which I expect to be very fun

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Give Charlie my love.
Sorry Tim's results weren't magically stellar - but it sounds like a very workable prognosis! Hang in there.
In completely shallow news, I have Michael Penn's "No Myth" stuck in my head and if you're going to have an earworm that's the earworm to have. Alas, listening to it didn't make it go away. Watching the lyrics on YouTube didn't do the trick. I think its there for good.

That's plausible for your neighborhood, Tep

That's not a bad earworm at all.

I actually shrieked at the headline. Get behind me, Satan.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I actually shrieked at the headline.
I gasped. How dare they.
