So, yeah. I'm an asshole about going to the doctor. But so many - likely most - doctors, most of the medical establishment, is predicated on profit and a conveyer-belt mentality, you can sort of see where I'm coming from. The worst part is being commanded by some lesser med tech to do something and do it NOW (but I've gotten exquisitely good at

So, I went to Rock Star on Thayer Street and had the plugs in my ears swapped from 6 gauge to 4. Actual eyelets!

Nice . . .

But...now it's done.

At least it's done.

[greygirlbeast]

At least it's done.

It's a little hard to take in, honestly.

No; it is strange and I'm not sure I could say anything that wouldn't be stupid or trite. I don't know what you do with that kind of lost time. At least they should lose no more.

Pretty much the way I feel.

I don't know what you do with that kind of lost time.

No fucking idea. And Damien's been in solitary for all of it.

By the way, who is that in your icon? I've always meant to ask.

The challenge with a doctor visit is distinguishing the medical scientists from the priests of Aesculapius. My darling obsessivewoman had to get past several dogma-dispensing priests before she finally found some actual scientists to study her condition.

[greygirlbeast]

I've often noted that most doctors are not scientists, they're the biological equivalent of mechanics. That said, finding doctors who will shut up and listen, that's a huge part of it, too.

'I'm an asshole about going to the doctor.'

Would that there were more assholes like you.

Remind me sometime to tell you how very little good doctors (as opposed to the sterling home-care people, especially the ones with no degree who did the actual hard work of keeping her comfortable) did my mom.

Fuck doctors.

Glad/relieved about the WM3, angry/sad that they lost 18 years for nothing.

Will do.

Glad/relieved about the WM3, angry/sad that they lost 18 years for nothing.

That pretty much sums up my feelings.

And yes, there's a photo (Spooky took it this ayem)...

Man, I've been trying not to ask when this was going to happen. Looks lovely.

Anyway, I signed onto Rift just long enough to do the dailies...

Betweemn getting home stupid late, dogs, and other RL concerns, I'm left with no significant time to try to log on. Hopefully things are still going okay.

Thank you. I'm proud of them. Now, if I can just get the tattoos started.

Hopefully things are still going okay.

I admit, I worry about the guild. But...I don't know. Somehow, I jumped the track.

Re: different names for different books. I mean, it just makes *sense*, doesn't it? And from the way you've talked about it, Blood Oranges is something of a departure for you, yes? (I mean you're not writing category romance, but still) I think about someone like Ruth Rendell who also writes as Barbara Vine. Everybody KNOWS Barbara Vine is Ruth Rendell. We just know that when we pick up a Barbara Vine book, there are going to be fewer dead bodies and no one's going to round up the suspects, and instead we'll get some kind of demented weirdness instead. It just makes, well, *sense*, right?

It does to me, yes.

Very much so.
