Oh Pix. Best wishes for Wilson, and for a successful resolution.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Poor Wilson. And Poor you all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, what a mess.
Sue, glad you're feeling better! A stomach bug is the worst.
We went caroling at my father's nursing home today, which was nice, although the singing was really for shit! Anyway, we were going to leave at 9:45, I went to bed at 11ish, woke up and it was... 9:25! YIKES! I was actually showered and breakfasted and ready to go by 9:50, which I think is pretty impressive.
Went to Target and more or less finished Christmas shopping, and now I'm doing my nails in front of the TV.

That's a horrid pile of awful, pix.
Waiting for my flight to board. Forgot one book I meant as a gift, but it turns out I can get it in B'ham, just without the autograph.

Aaand still waiting for a crew.
If this kid who clearly marinated in cologne sits anywhere near me, we're gonna have a problem.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pix and Drew, "horrid pile of awful" is an apt description. Sorry for you guys and Wilson and all your other animals. What a mess.
msbelle, insent.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm so sorry, Pix and Drew! When they opened up the walls in our bathroom they found a lot of mold and ended up ripping the whole thing out, which added $6k to the costs of reno. Do you have a separate tub and shower? Have your landlord ask them if they can stagger the demo. For us, they demo-ed the shower and left the tub, so we took showers with a handheld thing in the tub. Not ideal, and it's kind of creepy to shower in a torn-up room with a hole in the floor you can see through to the crawlspace, but it's doable. Needs must when you only have one bathroom.

Oh, Pix and ND, I'm so sorry about Wilson!! Poor kitty. And all of the stress and mess and everything. So much! I hope things smooth out for you all soon.
msbelle, ugh, that's so stressful about Mac.
Suzi, I'm so sorry about your friend. That's awful.
Laura, I'm glad you're getting to take vacation this week.
In news of my recovery, I turned some magical corner around Wednesday/Thursday and I feel completely normal. No pain, no digestive issues, nothing. I feel a thousand percent better than before the surgery.

That's fantastic, amyth!
I should really be doing stuff (cleaning, cooking, wrapping presents), but I have convinced myself there is plenty of time between now and Christmas Eve, when the whole family comes over.

Yay, amyth! That's great to hear.
Pix, that is awful. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
msbelle, I'm sorry that things aren't better with Mac. All sorts of ~ma for you.
