I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Many happy returns of the day, flea.

Hugs and love and solidarity to any and all of y'all who need support or just a wacky fannish friend.

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, flea!

That’s great your Mom is looking at the senior living place, askye!

I have my 2nd knee replacement scheduled for 10/15. I’m a little anxious about turning back the recovery clock but will be glad when this is all over and, I hope, I can walk with ease again and I can join a real gym instead of just going to pt all the time. First knee seems to be doing pretty well anyway.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

This time the really spendy one was replacing the tire pressure sensors which would have come to almost $1000 and so I decided not to.

I have that blinky light! And am having the same thoughts about if if it needs a pricy fix. I have a power block in the back of my car that can pump air in a pinch so I’m not super concerned about it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well I got the car back today and even though I declined the pressure sensor fix, the blinky light is off anyway! Either rotating the tires tricked the sensors into working again, or the guy just turned them all off for free.

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

Nice.

Is it weird that the word "beige" always makes me think of Angel's aura?

Holy hell, mom fell down the stairs, put a hole in the sheetrock with her head, took an ambulance to the hospital. On my way there now…

Dad called me as soon as he was in the waiting room with some time, good job Dad!
