We're All Fine Here, Thanks. How Are You? - The FanFic Social Thread

Oh, I know exactly what causes my twitchings. But thanks anyway.

Fortunately for you, Trak, the school year isn't that far off.

 

Pretty much the week after they start school. They're... not really too excited. My niece begins middle school while the youngest nephew is going into first grade. I think only one or two more years and my other nephew will be starting middle school.

 

Which historical lunatic are you?

Apparently I'm Charles VI, the Mad King of France!

 

Never seen melted crayon art before. Pretty awesome, Briannakin

 

BLARGH I AM DED

I went out for a midnight walk and on my way back, I was ready to just keel over and sleep. Time for bed. The kids wear me out.

 

Entertaining? Sort of. This took ten years to decide for certain. Locally, we've got a community college that offers the RN as an associate degree and an adult school that offers the LVN, but not the LPN. But that's later, after the prereqs are done. And, you know... the aforementioned scary test that puts the Certified Medical Assistant exam to shame. (In fact... preview!)

 

What a weird quiz! I'm Joshua Abraham Norton, the first and only Emperor of the USA, apparently

 

Sounds like it was fun, and I'm glad the little guy behaved! Though, maybe this is just me, but any "destination wedding" screams 'Zilla to me (unless the majority of the family have to travel anyways, you want a REALLY small wedding or you are getting married at like 50 years old and everyone can either afford it or is dead). At my uncle's wedding last year people were bugging my cousin and I about how one of us was next and the next one to get married in has to have a Caribbean wedding to give everyone an excuse to go on vacation. I have a freaking huge family, so I could never do something like that.

But I have to say, poor bridesmaids! I got a nasty sun burn in my electric blue dress, and as you guys saw, it covered a lot of skin. I would have hated to be in the sun in navy blue.

 

Good Luck with the test DaenaBenjen42!

Sounds like a great wedding Findswoman! "(10 miles down a twisty forest road)," Welcome to West Virginia! Even the interstates are twisty ups and downs. You'd be surprised at the amount of people who insist they don't get motion sickness that get it when they go to WV.

 

I wonder how many of those twisty turney highways in WV were once used by roving Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War...

 

Probably a lot of them, especially the old roads. The interstate maybe not so much... they've found more efficient ways to go through or over the mountains.

 

Gah, it rained earlier and my foot is sore. I'm wondering if I did actually bust up the last metatarsal, as it still hurts to move that toe.

 

It generally goes away once the weather dries up, but it'll return if I walk on it too much.

 

Yeah, making your bridesmaids wear a really dark color when you know it's going to be hot and sunny is NOT nice. For awhile my Bridezilla thought about getting us to buy these really dark navy blue dresses that were in town, they would have saved us a fair amount of money, but they would have made us die.

Ouch Trak, you might want to get that checked out. (Says the girl that is currently deaf in one ear yet is procrastinating going to a doctor. It doesn't feel like an infection, yet I can't hear out of it. I have a driving lesson first thing tomorrow morning, so this may be interesting.)

 

Blech, that means then I'll need to make an appointment and schedule a ride to go to it...

 

Yeah, I know that dilemma all too well. I'm kinda thinking about making one for my ear for Monday since I have a dentist appointment that day anyways, but I really don't want to spend all day getting poked at. And if I do make it it'll be gone by then anyways.

 

If my foot is still hurting like this come mid September, I'll make an appointment. In the meantime, I'm blaming it on the rain.

And I still have that twitchy eyelid, so I'm still looking like this.

 

Did you have any change in medication? My doctor put me on some meds that made my eyes twitch all the time. After a few days I went back to her and had her give me some other type of medication.

 

Nope, meds are the same. I'm thinking it might be stress. I've been going back and forth to my half-brother's for a while to babysit and it might be wearing me thin.

 

TrakNar and Briannakin: Hope you both feel better soon!

Findswoman: Glad the wedding was all in all ok, especially with Findsson in tow. Mountain windy roads get me too. If they are too bad, I have to drive so that I don't get sick...either that or take a nap. Hence I have never driven long stretches of Hwy 1 in CA. I want to be awake and able to look at the scenery.

My highlights of the day were having a normal commute to work unencumbered by monsoon flooding, figuring how to make a variable created in a function global so I could pass it to the next function (I hate R documentation - it took 5 different Google searches with different variations on "making a local variable global" before I found the right syntax), and enjoying a lovely dinner with my youngest daughter at California Pizza Kitchen, just the two of us since my husband and Charity Rose are both on trips until Friday. And the day was topped off by watching the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars episode followed by Ewan McGregor's ice bucket challenge video. I can see some Padawans having a field day with that in the Temple.

 

Not there yet, Mav. But... **HUGS**!!!!

 

Can't wait to do more babysitting. At least this time I won't have to get the kids settled down for bed, as it'll be daytime sitting. That's easier to deal with.

"You kids get your asses in bed or I'm sending my Hypno upstairs!"

Meanwhile, my Hypno is like


Not mine, by the way.

 

I've been around, just lurking. Like I said, I can't keep up with this thread easily.
This guy I'm talking to is into video games. Hopefully retro games too. That'd be awesome.

I checked it the day after I made that post and it was already a whole page on.

We're meeting on Saturday. If we get on I'm going to teach him how to make lasagne and then we're going to watch some terrible films. Does that sound good?

We seem to have a lot in common, so we should be ok.

I've just thought of a potential disaster! The new season of Dr Who starts on Saturday, which is when we're going to meet up!
