09:22:05: @seananmcguire I'm sorry. I've developed the ability to ignore lousy until it turns into fall down dead, but I don't recommend it. Ugh.

09:45:35: RT @levarburton: Remember, if it doesn't come from love, it comes from fear.
09:55:20: @_bigbigtruck_ So far, from what you've been telling me, people haven't been REALLY on target on expectations so far. Your post-op?
09:57:02: @_bigbigtruck_ Um, what the hell?
09:58:13: @_bigbigtruck_ The folks Jim works with were mortified. I believe the words 'they did WHAT' crossed lots of lips.
09:59:35: Fuck me. Yahoo closed the wedding site. After I settled the accounts last October. Someone went OOPS and didn't update the $$$.
10:01:58: And of course, the only contact information was a phone number and the main email account for the site. Yahoo doesn't DO phone calls.
10:02:17: So once the site was suspended, no contact was attempted to resolve the matter. At all.
10:03:04: @_bigbigtruck_ First clue. So. I would be very leery about what these guys consider pain. They've botched everything so far.
10:03:40: @_bigbigtruck_ I will warn you again - orthopods OFTEN do not do pain management well. It's not you, and it's not often intentional.
10:04:24: @_bigbigtruck_ These guys see a lot of drug seeking behavior they can't rule out, and often err on the side of - well, bad pain mgt.
10:05:29: @_bigbigtruck_ You can imagine my unimpressed face at will. Aghast, folks over here were. And then livid.
10:06:02: @_bigbigtruck_ They all warn me that rehab is not going to be fun. That you need to have good, effective coverage ON BOARD.
10:06:47: @_bigbigtruck_ From me? Build up some good, solid profanity, warn your therapists ahead of time and be ready to let fly.
10:08:11: @_bigbigtruck_ I've known some very kind, caring orthopods. And some real sadists, and then some clueless wonders. But I've known a bunch.
10:09:27: @_bigbigtruck_ What I know, you have complete access to. Bother me at will, and don't hesitate to ask anything. It's no good if you don't.
10:10:04: @_bigbigtruck_ Do me a favor. Tell the new folks what post-op was like. If they don't jawdrop and blanch, worry.
10:10:40: @_bigbigtruck_ *growls*
10:13:37: Boy, this morning is full of failsauce.
10:16:59: RT @shadesong: Oh y'all. Put down your drinks. http://zomgscience.net/
10:19:20: @_bigbigtruck_ What have they given you for a recovery time? Weeks, months - anything?
10:36:58: @_bigbigtruck_ Um. They like getting people into rehab right away, but normal scope in our experience is six months, with lots of -
10:37:23: @_bigbigtruck_ ..updates, based on how progress goes. And that's not something you can predict.
10:45:45: And look - I'm going to get on the phone with the NIC and get this mess cleaned up. Like I have time for this. Be back when they let me go.
10:45:50: Someday.

15:24:14: @levarburton Nobody has suggested or offered a getaway week? Timeshare time? It's a week, but nobody says you have to use the whole thing.
15:25:02: @levarburton Honestly. I am not having good luck today, but let me make one phone call.
15:28:39: @Tubaville You couldn't do that here. We'd call it kidnapping. Unless it's a relative. Then all bets are off.
15:47:10: @levarburton I've got hits - there's space available! Best to follow and DM me to get details.
15:49:34: @levarburton I'm..um...not silly enough to tweet phone number and stuff in clear.
15:52:04: @levarburton And I do know you well enough to trust you with this. It's been 25 years, but I do remember you.
15:52:44: @levarburton I can hold the reservation for an hour, best I got. It's a timeshare in Vegas, for a week, starting the 7th.
16:10:21: Welp. I guess I can't have ANYTHING in common with you because I'm So. Much. OLDER. #hulksmash

17:52:27: I'm at Wesco Self- Storage Center (19106 Normandie Ave, 190th st, Torrance) http://4sq.com/hjn9LV
21:32:05: So. I just finished dinner. Everyone else ate at 5:00, or a bit earlier.
21:33:49: Kid had no nap, so he and Jim went and got food. I got to go to the storage facility...and start working. Got home. Worked some more.
21:34:22: Reported demise of website. Delegated recovery. Discovered freezer had tripped breaker and was now OFF. Had been for some time.
21:35:04: Bulk still frozen but everything in the door nearly thawed. Tossed all frozen dinners. Made crock pot of short ribs. #fuckme
21:36:14: Put more ribs to marinade, stacked a BUNCH of round steaks for later, ditto soup bones and lamb chops. Swore mightily. Won't cry. Won't.
21:38:55: Found a good plan for the three pounds of fresh cranberries I had in there. Still not crying.
21:39:29: @MrsdogC I agree! (Big Island?)
21:40:11: So now we have one more thing to do every morning. Check to see that the freezer still works. FUCK ME.
21:40:58: Oh, and eat as much of this as we can stand. I heard about a con meeting this weekend. I will be bringing the grub, no danger.
21:43:58: @seananmcguire I think this sitting very still idea has merit. Still unto sleep even better, methinks. Drowing in hot tea better still.
21:53:23: Bad ass burrito carnage. Edamame flung across the patio. So mad. So absolutely unable to do a thing about it.
21:54:51: I hate wasting all this stuff. Gods, I hate this.
22:01:58: Trying like hell to be on top of it all - and only managing to not get run over. Barely. Then I get tossed days like today. *sigh*
22:03:17: I mean, who expects their major appliances to quit when they just poured $$ into them? And made payment arrangements that nobody processed?
22:04:34: Am I supposed to check every moving part every day or something? Scratch that. Not possible. I'm already not eating because I'm too busy.
22:05:38: San Andreas is taking the fault on this one. I would, if there was something I could do something to prevent it.
22:07:39: This is me throwing my hands up and stepping back from the table. I got all the plates I can spin, I can'ts spin no more.
