Glad to see you back, Luci. I feel okay, but I'm a bit pissed at my apatment management. Weekend before last, water started coming out of my bedroom light switch plate, and I could see it darkening the wall, so I called them to take care of it. Well, thay haven't fixed it, and now there's several water stains on my wall and ceiling, and water's dripping out of my air conditioner ducts, and leaking thriugh the walls to my carpet, all because the maintenance man didn't want to cut a hole in the apartment above mine to access their air conditioner drain pipe. Well, now he has to, I guess. So far, none of my personal stuff has been damaged, thank God.

Lucimay - Glad to hear you are home! Hope you are feeling ok.
I personally am very crabby. I went to the dentist this morning to have some work done to make up for a period of dental neglect that occurred while I was helping to take care of mom. Did I mention the fact that I hate the dentist? I had a very traumatic incident involving a wisdom tooth and having part of my jaw drilled away. To add insult to injury, I have no dental insurance so I had to pay cash for all of it. Just another thing to remind me what a crappy job I have.

Just wait until the day (not all that far off, either) when you move her into her college dorm room!!!!
Talk about feeling as ancient as an old rock.

I guess I should clarify that what I had done today was a deep cleaning, only one cavity was found - my first since I was 12.

Ugh. Hope it's not food poisoning, Seareach.
Had a crappy day at work (yep, it's Monday). Put up with verbal abuse from a high-strung marathon mom whose
very important schedule was
terribly inconvenienced by the absence of staff from the Marathon office. I'm fairly convinced that cyclists and marathoners (or the dreaded mutant called the Marathon Cyclist) are the worst kind of fanatically obssessed athletes. They exhibit a level of crazed intensity that would make televangelists or political commentators proud. The marathon mom didn't
actually foam at the mouth, but her speaking orifice
was able to project the f-word across the whole floor. I'm sure her two kids she had with her were also in awe of their mom's outstanding vocal abilities. In time, they, too, may learn how to project the f-word with such impressive power.

Try working at a pharmacy window sometime when a pack of narcotic seekers come to call.

You will hear truly magnificent cussing.
If she's a marathon runner she probably has a great pair of lungs.
We had a doctor make a rotation here once who was a marathon runner. She did her rounds in a wheel chair, so as not to stress her legs by standing too much.

Funny you should say that! My sister called me today (she happened to eat at my house last night) and she's been sick as well! Looks like I "poisoned" us! OMG! Luckily, Son of Seareach is so fussy at the moment that he refused to eat what I cooked last night...and, therefore, he is as bright as a button today!

Sea, hope you feel better soon. My apartment is drier today; it ended up being my neighbor's hot water heater. Unfortunately, there was still water in my ceiling that finally broke through with a nice geyser right over my dresser, right at midnight. I got a bucket under it still, just in case it decides to leak again.

Luci!! I'm sorry it took so long, but I love you and I missed you and I'm glad you're back to protect me! And I would have bought you flowers, but I over drew my bank account last week and have been living on credit... but I sent you lots of mental feel-good vibes!

I hope that you got them.
And Seareach! Drink water and take your vitamins. I hope you feel better soon

You get feel-good vibes, too!
I'm feeling good. I went to a Tool concert this weekend. I don't know how to express what an amazing, spiritual experience it was. I've never been a spiritual person, not so big on that sort of thing, but they touched me in a way that I can't imagine possibly being recreated. I'm a scoffer by nature, and it seems silly of me to talk this way about a band, but... that be how I feel. It was definitely something I'll never, ever forget.
