The Week That Was...

• Creeping Bone Death has turned into Cramps and I'm not exactly thrilled about that.
• There's a conspiracy against me going on that only annoys me because the people involved are bothering my friends.
• No, I have no idea who has that kind of time.
• In an unrelated story, I've been driven off the faceyspace.
• This only annoys me because it was the only place online that I can actually let my guard down a bit and have a little fun.
• That's over now and I'm going to be angry about that for a while.
• All week, I've been forced to deal with people who don't listen and/or can't/won't do their jobs. 
• At this point, I think the only business I still like is Typepad and that may be due to the fact that I don't really blog much anymore.
• Still spinning pink fluffy stuff.
• Doing my best to hide from the smokey air that has arrived in my corner of the valley.
• Was surprised to learn that the Summer of Socks ends this weekend.
• I'd kind of lost track of them because of how crazy busy this summer has been.
• Have come to the undeniable realization that Kaiser  has made me a truly horrible person.
• Dealing with their bad doctors and disinterested nursing staff means that I am now far more aggressive and demanding than I am comfortable with.
• However, we do what we have to do.
• Yes, Jai, worse than our worst day together...
• Not sleeping enough just makes that worse, btw.
• Did you know there is NOTHING on cable at three in the morning?
• Well, unless you want to watch good morning tv type people in full make up and that's just more than I can handle.
• Oh!
• Did you see the socks I knit for our Joan?
• I love that photo of her in the harness so much it may have to become her new photo thingy on my phone.
• Imma just sayin'...
• Happy long fucked-up weekend, everyone!
• Pray the salad lasts so I won't have to go out again until Tuesday.
• xo

Holy shit, grrl. Hugs to you, but fully aware that may not be enough. I'd say hang on, but what's the point? I still hold with my offer to testify on your behalf at the trial.

Trying to catch up and figure out the bone death - had to go look at the last post. And take a sideline to Joan in the harness. Definitely a keeper photo. Sorry about all the crap, medical-wise and otherwise. Bugger.

Why aren't you knitting socks so you don't aggravate the bone death? What happened to the mac and cheese? You soooo need on demand or something.

[margene]

I wondered why you didn't see my picture on fb with the gaargious red shawl knit with your amazing handspun. Sorry you have stalkers and medical bullshit to deal with, too. The "health" system is draconian.

[Marilyn]

What a week! Hope the next one is better...sending good thoughts and lotsa hugs your way...
As far as the drs etc you are only doing what seems to be standard fare these days. The squeaky wheel gets the attention.
I did see the socks you knit...they look wonderful!
Oh! Nuts! It IS a long weekend. NUTS!

Best first sentence of a blog ever. Creeping bone death! I'm dying.

It's turning to fall here, which I am sad about, even thou it is my favorite season. Something about being that much closer to rain all winter is making me hold onto summer for all it's worth.

Wanna move to Wisconsin? Or really, Minnesota; it has much better politics. The people are generally friendly, competent, and endowed with one hell of a work ethic. It also has world-class health care facilities. No Kaiser at all.

If you insist on staying in your smokey valley, at least keep blogging. Your cranky posts are a delight. And I am so sorry for all your woes.

I was wondering wtf happened on the faceyspace! damn.it.
xox

[Sarah]

I'm so sorry about all of that and wish I could help. I hope you still have salad. xoxo

Umm. The knee thing. Maybe it is bone death but don't sit on a chair with your feet hooked on the legs. Just saying that was my problem awhile ago. I was able to solve it but talking it over with a friend who went to the Dr for the same problem - knee pain. Turns out I was hyperextending my knees. For once and easy diagnosis. Doesn't make up for the recent unnecessary $$ test my daughter had to take but I didn't feel at the time I had a choice.
If you lived closer, I would stop by with salad. oo :)

[Karen]

You be a thorn in the sides of those medical people! Someone has to do it and it may as well be you:) If nothing else it's a good place to take out some frustration.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and got some rest.

[Patty]

How'd you do with the salad? And the socks...love, love, love them. The harness, Joan rocks it! (And the hair btw.) As for the conspiracy...let me know what you need. ;-)

[Tiny Tyrant]

Joan looks great! Love the socks as always.
