I’m bruised but back, thanks for the well wishing!

Congrats on your summer placement, Olen. A unicorn in a hellhole is still a unicorn.

Right now I can hear the birds determinedly trying to woo one another through the sleet that is pounding against my window! Madness!!

Welcome back Grits. I hope the bruises are a euphemism and not actual.

RL is beating the snot out of me as well. On top of everything else, I had to make an emergency call to our landlord for a water leak on Saturday morning. My office is a disaster of uprooted carpet, missing padding, and noisy air blowers trying to dry it out. Thank goodness the water was not near my computer!

And still she stands, in the Arena.

A warm welcome back to you, Grits.


So sorry to hear about the water damage, Rick.

WOO HOO!!! Welcome back Grits, and I hope everything is okay. I agree with Rick, I hope the bruises are a euphemism!!







Welcome to the South, lol. Sorry to hear about the flood - and thank goodness you are renting so someone else will have to cover those water damages !!!

Four flights. Four flights I have endured and so much more.

From Osaka to Incheon(Korea), to Incheon to my beloved Islands. And vice-versa. And do you know how many days my 'vacation' allowed me? Five.

But.

We searched for a place that we Filipinos like to call 'resthouse'(a place to stay when you're having a vacation in the Philips and not in Japs).
When we did, it was like:
God-dayum, boi! Dat's sum fine shat right der! Hehe

The house was actually quite big, (three floor) and said that we could even make it bigger. Is that even possible, I asked. Yes, she said. I knew she was lying though. But whateva. The surrounding village (yes, they prefer to call it village, instead of a division, don't know why) was filled with unkept grassfields and mediocre amounts of other houses. But the best part(for me) is that there's a pool, basketball club AND

the stuff in the house was actually given to us for FREE. That means we got a decent ref and furniture for FREE! (sighs) This house is a dream come true..

If the staggering amount of the monthly downpayment wasn't so goddamn high. And to top it all off the old lady, so full of herself, condescendingly RAISED the price for ... I really don't know what she said, cuz I was out of conscious the moment she said 'Can I pay some added interest?' in that fake imitation of ... whoever it is she imitates. Possibly Lady Gaga, but dayum... Her voice is ANNOYING. (I wouldn't even think about saying in that in her face, though. With female pride and humongous amounts of arrogance, I was guaranteed a verbal execution)

... 'Nuff said. Just stopped by to say 'hallo, I'm back! Why no welcome?? sadface!' but, as you can see, it turned into a rant. So.. Hello, everybody. Washappening?

Welcome back Ureniashtram !!! I hope you found your friends safe and well on your trip - and LOL at the woman raising the rent and your description of her !!!

That's exactly how I felt Sunday night, arms raised in victory just for surviving! The bruising was mental, no Grits were actually harmed over the weekend.

Rick, I hope you’ve dried out by now!

Ureniashtram, just think about the dream come true part.

mALX has just asked me to craft a coffee shop entry on her behalf. It seems she took ill and spent most of the day in the emergency room. She is home and resting comfortably now, but the poor dear was concerned about not being able to read and comment on stories today.

She will return to the hospital tomorrow for some follow up and the results of all the testing done today. She promises to return to us as soon as she is able.

Needless to say, I have assured her that we all simply want her to be well, and will patiently wait until she once again feels up to gracing us with her sparkle and cheer.

I hope she is alright and recovers quickly.

Get well!

EMERGENCY ROOM???

W.T.F!!!???!!!

And I thought it was going to be me...


Get better and get better COMPLETELY mALX!

Oh no! I wish you well, mALX. I’m glad you could come home last night, ‘rest’ and ‘hospital’ don’t really work together. I’ll be sending good thoughts your way today, I hope your recovery is rapid and complete. Like Acadian said, we’ll be here when you’re ready!

What!? A day later after she welcomed my return and she's in the goddamed E.R???!! Somebody up there hates me, I just know it!

mALX! You better get completely healed or else.. or else I'll murder Linderman and drink from his skull! And you really don't want that to happen, now do you?

Get better, Resident Kitty!

And to think I was about to post a gripe about mowing wet grass today...my how perspective can change.

Get well soon mALX! We need the BFE TN wit and whiskers here.

Get well, mALX!

Stay home and rest. Key concept here - rest. No peeking at your computer, no late nights, no hitting the bars just before closing for the last drop (do bars ever close in ETN?).

I hope you'll be well soon again mALX! Make sure you rest a lot. Staying up late is not an option!

Good luck to you mALX, hope you get well soon.

Please let us know the instant you are well enough to walk. Until then, as others have recommended, stay bedridden until that time comes.

mALX- I have only one thing to say to you.... NO.

No, you can't get sick.

No, you can't push yourself.

No, this is not negotiable.

No, we will not stop hoping for a complete and speedy recovery.

Oh mALX get well soon ♥♥ I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a quick recovery ♥

mALX, get well soon and all that, but don't go back to doing things before you are definatly up to them. There's no point in setting yourself back.

@ Everyone - thank you so much for the well wishes!! I probably could have been up and about sooner if I would take some of the pain meds they forced on me at the hospital...just can't stand taking pills, lol. Just hoping to kick it without them.

Won't hear the doctor's interpretation of the CT scan till next week, so wish me luck on that, lol.
