Thanks, Armando. You said it better than I could.
oh sweetie! I’m more sorry than I can say
Thanks, everyone, for all your kind words. It means a lot to me.
I was pretty rocked by the news this morning. She was only 31. I’ve known her and her husband for most of our lives, and even though I wasn’t close to her, she was a good friend of my sister’s. We all grew up in a real small town. (Her sister was in the class behind me, her mom was my 8th grade teacher, her dad was my sisters’ basketball coach, her husband’s family lived next door to my grandma…) She had grown into such a bright and beautiful woman. I can’t even fathom how her family are feeling right now.
Ah yes, the burning. From the look of your skin you are very fair, but I burn very easily as well. I have to take all the precautions living under a giant hole in the ozone layer
Life is the suck today because:
I used my keys to start and warm up my wife’s car for her.
I forgot to get the keys back so she’s got 'em at work with her.
So I’m stuck at home and can’t leave the house.
It’s -10 degrees F (f-for fraking cold) outside.
So I’m here.
All alone.
In a warm house.
And there’s a Battlestar Galactica marathon all day.
Ooops.
Uh Oh.
I think I may have posted this in the wrong thread, :DIYKWIM
Ugh, sick child…day…uh…8. Back to the doctor since it is Friday, just to make sure we’re not missing anything. Bang head on desk…not hopeful that I’ll get anywhere. Maybe this is just a stubborn virus. 6 days w/ fever seems like a long time, esp when fever seems to be going up and up. Darn fever.
One good thing: no one else knock wood has gotten it.
YOU SUCK! Feel free to IYKWIM all over that. I’ve had a bad week and anyone who is having a good day SUCKS.
Well, I SUCKS then.
Yes, I’m sorry, but as much as I love you, you do. I am so looking forward to BSG tonight. Hoping I can keep my eyes open. Might have to make coffee to make it up for the 'cast afterward. Deep Sigh.
Sorry Keara. Hopefully today will be the day his fever passes. Maybe he’s got more then one virus.
That’s what doctor suspected my kid had. My little Cassie was sick with Fever–let me see… last Wednesday through this Wednesday (Wednesday she she didn’t have a fever been she seemed to need one more day home to recover). Sometimes the Doctors recommend overlapping Tylenol and Motrin.
Hang in there.
You’re sweet… a ride is part of it, but alas, only part 
But I’ll be with you all in spirit… 
Hope the youngling gets to feeling better soon. If it makes you feel any better, the hubs decided NOT to go out of town this weekend so my weekend of BSG and sloth has been canceled. I still get to watch BSG but no after-frak or junk food eating.
Well, I feel for you, Keara. I hope the little one starts feeling better very soon. My own little one just got back from her dental procedure. She threw a HUGE tantrum and wasted two doses of the sedative that the dentist asked her to take before the procedure so she’d be calm. I mean HUGE! (Thankfully they gave her more there and she went through the procedure without a hitch, from what I’m told. She’s just crawled into bed.)
I got TWO job rejections and a notice that one position I was applying for has been called off due to lack of funding. My wife hasn’t found a job, even after a series of promising interviews last week.
And yet…there’s new BSG tonight. I’ve been looking forward to tonight too much to stay in the crappy mood I’ve been in for two days. It’s not much, but it’s a comfort.
We could’ve offered you guys a place to crash too. Just sayin’.
We’ll save it for the finale then.
Oh, Armando…so sorry about the dental nightmare & the job situation.
As for me, it looks like we might FINALLY be turning the corner. My son is feeling much better, acting WAY more ornery, needing less meds to treat the fever, so I think we’re on the upswing now. Or the downswing. You know what I mean. It’s better. Sigh of relief from me. Just in time for me to enjoy BSG tonight.
Good! Yeay!
Don’t be sorry about the job situation. I wouldn’t care so much if my wife were able to find something stable and solid, with benefits. I’m doing well enough as a freelancer and have enough prospects coming down the pike (see what I did there?) this year that, if at least ONE of us has a steady, secure gig, we’ll be fine. It’s just getting to that point that’s a challenge. (Thankfully she’s had some overtures, again, from her old employer, who are expecting vacancies in the fall and have told her she’ll be the first person they call…unless they take her rejection of some maternity leave work they threw at her–after taking it away, frakkers!–personally. But she would’ve been their female dog had she taken their very unfair and very lame offer, frankly.)
in 2 weeks I go in to into (an NHS) hospital to get my spine fused. It’s finally reached the do-or-die point. For the last week I’ve been off my numerous meds so I don’t do anything weird under anaestetic, i assume they mean waking up rather than performing showtunes.
Anyone that has suddenly come off anti-depressants and hormone treatments suddenly probably can guess how my brain is running now…
so the reason life is teh suck today for me is: I’m crying because LaToya Jackson and Verne Troyer make such a lovely couple.
sigh Bring me my morphine NOW!
At least you haven’t lost your sense of humor! Good luck with the surgery, TNM.
Me, I got rejection letter NUMBER THREE today. But I don’t give a flying frack. BSG is back tonight and I’m not letting ANYONE get me off this high.
I am here for you. I had fusion of the lowest disks that is the hardest back fusion. I can help you with anything you need to know. Just do what they say to do after the surgery. I was walking the next day and yes on major drugs. I made all of my family promise not to hold anything I say against me.
I am here holding your virtual hand so to speak.
