Guuuys.

Two things: my MRI results came back and I am cleared of any aneurysm suspicions Or at least, as far as the neurologist could see (nice disclaimer, eh?)

Second, my dogs' bloodwork came back today as well. Timmy's blood results were okay, which was a shocker. I had not expected that. That does mean that the problem is likely his heart. He'll be having a heart x-ray and an ultrasound on the 27th. Anyanka's results were not so good. She's indeed having thyroid issues, her hormone levels were extreme. I drove to the clinic immediately to pick up meds, at the vet's insistence. She took her first tablet tonight and has not had any adverse effects thus far.

Also (yes, I lied), tomorrow is my mom's surgery. She's a wreck, aww. I'm getting a bit nervous too

That's good news about your brain Tens! Not so good news about the doggies, but hopefully the vet can figure that stuff out.

Hope your mum's surgery goes okay

I figure the most stressful thing about mine will be finding matching parkas for the wedding party, and worrying about people skidding on the ice on their way to/from the ceremony, because sure as heck if I'm getting married *something* has frozen over

I've suffered from a lack of confidence in my WIP in the past few days. I'm only 4,100 words into it and nowhere near an ending, but already I feel dissatisfied with how the plot and characterization are running so far. I feel like starting over and putting more effort into planning the story this time.

Going to the dentist sucks. Hopefully there won't be any issues, so it'll be cheap and easy and only kinda painful (the best one can hope for when going to the dentist).

I need to visit the dentist. (Just routine stuff, nothing dire or painful as far as I know.)


Sadly, I have no insurance.

This seems a way to go for a dentist, and if I was going to make such a trip, I think I'd have better things to do with my time.

Why do students assume that if two of them hand in the exact same assignment, word for word, in the same class, that somehow I am not going to notice?

Nah. It wasn't worth selling. More like one did the work, and let the other copy.

College, yes, but ESL students. I suspect some of that wonderful male/female Middle Eastern dynamic was at play.

As opposed to my Asian students, who copy things from a TOEFL prep course and assume somehow I can't find it online. Or notice when their assignment magically improves 200% from their last assignment.

Idjits.
