I think it's official.

I think people need hugs and hairpats and possibly even cookies. I am once again taking requests at my profile email. I am posting this here and not Natter so that those bruised and beaten down and just annoyed by stuff over the last few days can get first dibs.
I'm guessing sugar cookies, banana bread and either chocolate chip cookies or chocolate cake.
I can vouch that she did indeed send me cookies.
Emmett, in fact, knew her specifically as "the lady who sends cookies and also the monkey head for your scooter."
I lost interest in old stuff for a while, and decided to go looking at pictures of other old stuff. Detroit and SEMI in general have some really gorgeous, old architecture. It was quite something to be able to spend much of my formative years on the still gorgeous campus of the U of M.
msbelle sent me incredibly delicious banana bread. And, I *think*, an amazing holiday fruitcake. So yeah, msbelle being the nicest is canon.
I totally had forgotten about sending care packages. huh, I had free time.
Best Doblerisation ever, methinks.
Well, I didn't get to see my surgeon. I got into an exam room where we waited for over 40 minutes. When an assistant came in to check on me, I vented and told her I was leaving and why.
I then mulled my options on the hour long drive home and called their scheduler to vent my spleen. She agreed that the FOUR times of rescheduling me--once when I was on the road driving to my scheduled appointment and this last time without speaking to me was WRONG. But she told me that the surgeon did, in fact, need to see me again. I told her I would only agree to it if I could be guaranteed an appointment that will not be changed at the last minute and that I would see my surgeon when I get there.
I'm going to call and schedule a follow up next week when I've had time to look at my schedule. If the next appoitment doesn't happen, I won't be going back.
I cannot get the benjamin moore personal color viewer to load. not on safari and not on firefox. it got to 98% and then just sits there. grr.
For JZ: This wikipedia page has a picture of the fountain from the Detroit Zoo that was depicted in the snow globe in Coraline.
I am so sick of blowing my nose. Annoying!
