Lil, good looking paramedics are the best consolation. Compared to cookies, which were less saved. =(
Anyway, thanks all -- Grainy, don't be absurd, bad days can be had all around, and actually, mine has gone pretty well, all things considered. Also, as previously mentioned, I love you, and you are the least...kind of? Amount of? Whatever, you're not a jerk. Also also, glad to play hero anytime for you, m'dear.
Everyone else: looking like I can post tonight. Long waits are, at the very least, wonderful for catching up on posts, and OH MY GOODNESS YOU PEOPLE ARE INCREDIBLE. Magicians, all of you.
