Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

This too shall pass.

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

{{{Sophia!}}} I'm glad you went to get checked out when you did, keeping you in my thoughts.

Oh no, Sophia! I'm wrapping you up with love and affection and easiest-path-to-healing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you all. Right now everything is frankly boring because it is the weekend and they can’t really let me go home until the DVT resolves and the know I won’t have a pulmonary embolism that will kill me. The DVT is pretty bad, so blood thinners aren’t really working yet

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Off, Sophia, that's a lot! I'm glad you're getting care.

I am looking forward to being able to get shots because I have a job! It will require going through a teacher training program (even though I have an MEd and have no desire to be a classroom teacher again), and we'll have to figure out student teaching hours, but it's a union gig with insurance, so yay!

My mom has been big enough into Pilates that she ended up with a reformer in the basement. I think dad's been self-rehabbing from his tick-induced partial paraplegia (yes, he is a walking Mad Lib, why do you ask?) as well

Thank you. I tried watching PBS and it was a Lydia’s Kitchen and an America’s test kitchen that I remember from watching probably at least 20 years ago.

Best wishes for healing Sophia.

Oh Sophia, good luck!! I hope the blood thinners kick in soon (but not so much that your blood is TOO thin either!)
