Phoebe - it's true, I'd rather have surgery than a hangover at this point. For me the the mental anguish (guilt and anxiety and depression) from a hangover was much worse than the physical pain.
Arbor - I hope your family's okay. I'm sending good lawyering vibes your way.
Leigh - I hope you feel better. I'm sorry you've had so much trouble lately
Took my daughter climbing today. She did great. She is usually apprehensive about new things and gets easily discouraged, but she did great and got up pretty high. I worked on a wall I've been trying to climb for a couple weeks. It's hard, at least it is for me. Strategy-wise, I get it for the most part, but upper body strength, not so much. The kind young folks who work there are so encouraging. They're like "you look great! Good form!" When in reality we all know I look like a blind moose trying to climb the wall. I'll get there eventually.
