Mail and Swimming

[geekmama]

Finally got through the mountain of mail at work. Only a million things to do, as a result. We keep plugging away, though. Must go home and swim now. Swam this morning, before work. So lovely. The pool was warmer than the air, and little wisps of foggy steam were coming off the water. Wish I could've stayed there

I love the story, I really do XD That's hilarious. I love the desc of Jack ^^

Okay, it's like this: I'd call you, but I can't find your phone number anywhere >.< So when can I come over and find you home, or when can you swing by here after work, or will you be home Saturday, or what can I do? XD I really would kinda like to get paid for watchin yer cats, as lovely as they are. I've got a trip to Canada I'm tryin' to save for, an all.

Sorry to compliment and then money-beg, but XD I *did* enjoy the story! :: runs ::

Soooo sorry--I've been getting off so late, and then I forget (I forget lots of important stuff, unfortunately--have to write me sticky notes or something). I'll get off early tomorrow--about 4 or 4:30. Will you be home?? I also have an Alaska gift for you--just a small one, but pretty. Let me know and I'll try to write me a note to remind me.

Don't be sorry about bugging me. That's what it seems to take these days.

Glad you liked the story!

... I didn't see your daughter's journal before I saw your line about "ladymora has a growth." My first thought was... "My, that's awfully personal..."

[geekmama]

I said it was Aluminum Nitride! *grin*

[radiumx]

Aha but most people of an un-scientific nature wouldn't know that. I am only familiar with the substance with regards to your eldest podling through passing references to her work. Only after careful examination did I read the sentence correctly - my first reading unfortunately construed as such -

ladymora has a growth. (implied: Of a biological nature)
Aluminum Nitrate. (implied: A somewhat unusual/dangerous chemical being used to treat said aberration)
Serious stuff. (implied: The consequences of either the treatment itself or its failure may be extremely unpleasant)

However I'm an extrapolative idiot savant**, so pay no attention whatsoever to my insane-yet-amusing digression.

** - Savant optional

[geekmama]

Ha! Just the way I planned it.

Your digressions are always amusing. *grin*

You know, I simply can't resist--it's futile...I'm addicted to your lit--need an ipod that'll hold the writ word so I can scoop this off the internet and just have it--I adore your perfection of Gibbs--I adore the very Jack-a-bit of “The ‘fribble’, at your service.”
cos you know he would--look you right in your eyes and tease you hard! Thanks for your gifts--too many to name, so I'll just say Pirate, which in your case means one who provides swag that's neither silver or gold, more precious
just the same. Happy New Year! And you'll be so proud of me--I'm getting no chores done!!

[geekmama]

Wow, I wrote that a long time ago. Turned out OK, though, I do like the "fribble" business. I can see Jack teasing Gibbs about that, but certainly not holding it against him. I'm so happy you are amused -- and slacking, that's what the holidays are for, though I've been up since early, made a cake from scratch (cranberry lemon layer cake) and am preparing a big dinner for some guests who were out of town on Christmas Eve. Wish you were here! Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the story!
