Well today was the surgery on my left wrist to have my ganglion cyst removed. My nurses and surgeon were incredibly nice and funny to boot. I'm home with Vicodin for the pain and am forbidden from working tomorrow (which I'm thankful for). They've got my hand and half of my forearm in what's called a pressure wrap - which is basically a cross ( Read more... )

Random Tidbit #1: Mel and I have named my laptop "Captain Syphilis". Cookie if you get the reference.
Random Tidbit #2: My harddrive, however, is named "Simmons 2.0". Two cookies if you get this one.

To say right now that I am pissed would be a vast understatement. Turns out those funny buzzing noises my external harddrive's been making? Means it' ( Read more... )

I have until the 25th to submit a letter of appeals to the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences. At this point I'm ready to say "FUCK YOU" and not ( Read more... )

(AKA "Bri Needs To Channel Her Sarcasm Because She Can't Get Out Of Bed To Do Half The Shit She Needs To Get Done So She Doesn't Snap At People Like Liz And Emily Who Don't Deserve To Be Snapped At" ...The other title's shorter.)Oh immune system, you are a wonderful and complicated thing, and you keep me alive ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning having slept about 6.5 hours coughing so hard I could barely breathe. So Bri goes to the hospital for 2 hours on fucking CHRISTMAS DAY. They tell me I have "possibly Bronchitis" and I get prescriptions and I leave ( Read more... )
