Well, it’s Friday and I made it through the week in one piece.

Thank you for the concern and well wishes — I really apppreciate it. My nipple is much better. It doesn’t hurt and to the untrained eye, looks pretty much like my other, healthy nipple. However, there’s definitely some hardened mass underneath (which I’ve convinced myself is unremovable scar tissue) that may — or may not — be shrinking. I can’t decide. I got my x-ray films yesterday and tried calling the surgeon’s office, today. The number was busy each time I called until 4:39 when, after going through a maze of useless options, I was finally advised via a recording to call back during normal business hours.

A Suggestion: Announcing your “normal business hours” on one of the useless options would be a big help to callers, especially since 4:39 is considered to be a pretty fucking normal time to conduct business.

Well, until I can get an appointment, or the mass goes away on its own, I won’t be giving the full-contact power hugs that I’m known for, less anyone mistake me for a pin-up or a pre-op.

<Seinfeld> Not that there’s anything wrong with that. </Seinfield>

Ok, I know J here did not cuss.

How you gon’ cuss?

4:39 should now be an auspicious time on your normal. Please note it.

Have you ever heard of feng shui? Let me tell you man, you may be a christian, jewish, boo-boo muslim.. all them narrow-minded monotheism.. whatever it is..

but i’m telling you… in Hong Kong, corporations spending hundreds of dollars just for a service of an expert feng shui practitioner for an hour. And these people spend their money on old people taking a look on their buildings telling them what to do rather than spending it on some nightclub with a ho-ho. TRY feng shui, it works.. of all the mojo-jojo-hocus-pocus that i’ve seen.. feng shui speaks for itself. I’m telling you.. when it comes to feng shui, it aint superstition.. although it does look like from the naked eye, but it aint. Boy, just try it.. it will make you feel good. I’m serious.

Man, I’m telling you. didn’t I say I was serious.

Oh… that nipple feeling better? Let EX_LOVER carress it and lick it.

That engagement ring you got on yo finger look good.

Oh, you aint the only one with the damn engagement ring. Shit.

Stop waving it.

HEHEH.. you knoww!

Essex Hemphill? Boy, Don’t make me call him from his grave and talk to you about the civil rights act of 1965.

I know Lloyd did not just try to get slutty.

Oh, by the way.. I got a question.. do you know this dude.. that umm.. EJ linked like a while back.. like.. Cris24.. or some sort… I was just wondering, really.

There is no there other…

(screaming laughing at lloyd’s third comment) too unique…

hmm..ya’ll have some interesting conversations going on here.

um. now back to the mass you still feel? utterly normal. think of an infection, not just as a container of fluid that you can drain, but more like a sponge. some of the tissue is still traumatized.

it’ll get better. it just takes time.

I think you’re right, kd. every day, it gets a little bit better. Thanks.

glad you’re up to snuff J.

And can I just say that every once in awhile, Lloyd really frightens me?
