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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I had four impacted wisdom teeth removed and ate pancakes the next day.

Ooh. Well, I'll hope for the best. And if the best happens, I will improvise since I won't have much other food in my apartment besides soup.

I'm still taking a couple days off work because I only get so many sick days a year, so might as well use them for a valid reason before they go to waste!

I can haz ENT appointment!

I have not been whining about the Sinus Infection That Will Not Die because if I started, I probably wouldn't stop and how fun would that be? Anyway, I've had a sinus infection on the left side since roughly Christmas. I first went to the doctor in February and I've had five rounds of increasingly deadly antibiotics plus prednisone, to no avail. My PCP said there was nothing more she could do and wrote a referral for an ENT. The first appointment available was six weeks away. I've been calling every couple of days ever since hoping to snag a cancellation and I just got an appointment for tomorrow. I hope he can do something. I'm so tired of feeling like crap.

It's a measure of how bad things are that I'm excited about this.

And this, the first bit of the script for a wedding that a friend of mine is in (yes, the wedding has a SCRIPT).

Preshow: Everyone is guided to their seat in a semi circle about the base of the Oak trees and fire circle, stretching back onto the lawn. The wedding party is in their places, as is D--- with Becca and Sugarplum Faerie. GROOM is on horse. Cheeto, Jazz and the Wood Nymphs are in silent gesture/headset communication.

Is your friend a stage manager?

Will Oberon escort the bride, or is he with the groom's party?

Am willing to bet that this could be practiced in six or seven virtual environments, which is where I thought you were headed anywhoo.

ate pancakes the next day.

Yes, but you are a special make and model.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I will be stocking up on popsicles and Ensure and sorbet and ice cream in anticipation for Monday's epic Removal of the Thyroid

Aims, food-wise, you'll be able to eat anything, really. Since the surgery is outside your throat, there's not any throat tenderness. There is neck tenderness, but that doesn't affect swallowing. Or didn't in my case.

And, ~ma for the surgery. Are you having both sides removed?

Hooray, ENT!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am having the whole, bloody, lumpy thing removed. Plus, possibly, a lot of lymph nodes.

The sorest place(s) you will be then is where ever they transplant your parathyroid gland(s). That was sore for the longest for me and even then it was only a few days.

And, just as an FYI, my scar, 7 years later, is barely noticable. Just takes time to heal. Also, keep it out of the sun. I wore kicky scarves tied around my neck a lot.

I have also stocked up on frozen peas to keep the swelling down. Mostly, I wanted easy food that could be handed to me and not require a lot of thought. Joe will have his hands full with Emeline without having to worry about me.

They transplant the parathyroids?
