but if someone had literally been staring at the insides of their rectums, and only the insides of their rectums, i'd think they'd have a very minimal set of beliefs.

And THEN yesterday after the work lunch, he said we could leave at lunch today, but he hasn't mentioned it again this morning and I don't know if I can just go or if I have to wait for him to bless and release us or what but I finished all the work I had and I'm not about to start a new case because I'll forget it all by the time I come back and and and WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME????

It was a lot of fun! 2 rounds of Malort, which was kinda excessively gross but I'm glad we did it anyway.

-just got back from selling a bunch of aluminum
-sold enough to pay a bill or two and buy some Old Crow Reserve for Christmas
-still sick, but will be resting the rest of the day to make up for this morning's activity

I hope you feel better in time for your Old Crow Christmas.

I feel a little better today--some coughing, but not as bad.

There's a fireplace in the living room. We won't have the strength to clear out all of the things in front of it for Christmas, but we should have a fire lit for New Year's.

― Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo, Saturday, 24 December 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
thanks, guys. i am feeling a lot of emotions right now -- relieved, because he'd given up on life months ago and wasn't really living anymore. but i'm also angry because he'd given up on life months ago and wasn't really living anymore when there was no huge health issue that meant he couldn't have some more good years. i guess the last few months have made me think a lot about elderly life and the mental health issues that come with growing old and not being as self-sufficient as you once were. it's really scary.
― tehresa, Saturday, 24 December 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sorry, tehresa. Much love to you and your family.

Sorry about your grandpa, Tza.
- walked a mile this morning- first day of a new training regimen- getting ready for a week in New Orleans next month- just booked the B&B- found a nice one one block from the French Quarter for a very reasonable rate- leaves more $$$ for food, drink and other fun- all of which I'll enjoy more if my legs and back don't give out on me

Sorry, T. My dad was 91 when he died and he had given up on life long before - even before he had health problems - that was really hard to deal with.
Wm, that's awesome re NOLA. I want to go again this winter, but I really should put myself on lockdown until I take an international trip (or just justify a visit with the saying about NOLA being the the nearest foreign land you can visit.)
Are you staying in The Marigny? I would love to live in that neighborhood - charm out the ass and really affordable.

tza i am super sorry about your gpa -- i had some rude awakenings w/r/t aging parents this week too :-/
however
-- my night at the ancestral home of a laurel was so fun and wonderful and i'm hoping her parents consider signing the adoption papers i've overnighted to them -- kinda feels like someone whacked me in the back of the head and i don't remember it...?
