Shana tovah to my beloved Buffistas. Stroke recovery continues to be slow and steady, but at least I haven't fallen down any stairs.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Our wings are not tired.
Surgery~ma for Teppy today. Will she get an evil spine?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Oh! If so, will it be like the one from Helstrom, or maybe more technological like the Borg Queen's?
Surgey~ma, Steph!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Surgery~ma Tep!!
Working from my parents' dining room, let's find out if I remember how to do my job (or perhaps more accurately, can I remember how to care about getting my job done. Not looking great on that front so far)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Easy peasey, routine surgery with best results and good drugs -ma, Teppy!

Surgery ~ma to Steph, though I think by now it is probably recovery ~ma, and I hope the pain meds are working super-duper well!
Glad to hear your recovery is progressing, Karl. Continued good vibes your way.
Pix, I'm so sorry. Financial stress like that is so hard and just permeates every damn thing.
-t - hope your mom continues to do well! So glad she's back home and doing well.
So glad to hear the Epic responded -- echoing the thanks for checking Laura, and dcp.
Spent a nice weekend with my aunt. Back to regular life today.

I've got the wire transfer of Significant Funds happening in ten minutes.
Wish me checking-all-the-routing numbers twice -ma!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy Significant Funds and Spines Day, Buffistas!

Good luck everybody and Shana Tova to those who celebrate(And I owe Nilly a reply to her New Year's greeting...the moment I got it was a hectic one, somehow(In a stupid way, probably) and I never got back to her--it's been a few days. I should do it before I need the forgiving, right? Probably the way the greeting would sound in my voice is why it always makes me think of the Homicide bit with Munch and Kellerman. "Say it again!" "No!" "Oy vey ist mir...I'm so meshugganeh I could plotz." (I also don't need much reason to think about that riff in Northern Exposure on how to find a Jewish name and why Spiderman doesn't exactly count, but they had a full Rosh episode...maybe that was in it. Maybe Dr. Joel didn't want to spend the important day alone.
