rocking the Lawful Good

Not entirely the highlight of yesterday's day off work doing errands: the doctor at the radiologists telling me, "In the nicest possible way, you have terrible breasts". In his defence, in context it was funny rather than insulting, and he's perfectly right: I have terrible breasts, in the sense that they are infested with cysts and fibroadenomas ( Read more... )

Is it wrong that I googled "nosectomy" and found that this is indeed a real word? Anyway, good that there are no -ectomies at all.

It's a perfectly ridiculous word, and our lovely vet throws it around with a calm assurance which made me simply accept it. Given that he is prone to the classic vet sense of humour, which is earthy and tends to the subversive, he could easily have been having me on, so I'm relieved he wasn't. I am with you in rejoicing at the ectomabsence. (That's definitely not a word).

Well done on all counts!

thank you!

I am all excited about your house, and looking forward to meeting it. Interested query, though: does the thatched roof not have weird insurance implications? It's one of the questions mine asked me when I phoned up to fiddle with it on Wednesday.

Yes, our insurance will probably be a fair bit higher than if we did not have thatch. We're bracing ourselves for it. We've been advised to shop around for the best option between different providers.

Particularly yay for facing things eventually. I've been delaying on the driving test for about eight months now. But thank you :>.

Yay mammogram! Yay licence! Holding thumbs on the nosectomy not being necessary.

You'll be holding thumbs for a fair while, I hope. This has been an approximately annual thing for about five years - we're keeping the little proto-cancers subdued by freezing them the hell off the instant they try to appear. Ceaseless vigilance required, but thoroughly worth it.
