Yay, friends list!

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I feel really guilty

I have been a bear of extraordinarily little brain lately (I blame surgery) which is why I never sent off a proposal for that fantasy conference. Today's the deadline, and I just don't think I can come up with a fricking 250 words for a proposal.

Tell me you still love me, Friends list, even if I've been off faffing around doing frivolous things like having my gall bladder out.

*Sigh* Maybe I'll try again when I get back from dinner out. (I'm going out for dinner tonight to the Birchwood Cafe with Lois McMaster Bujold, Pat Wrede, and castiron).

Note to my Digestive System

Really, I'm trying to be patient. I realize you've been through a lot in the past week and a half, and after all, I must give you due credit: you've never been particularly temperamental toward me in the past. I appreciate that. Since you are feeling particularly fretful today, please accept this bowl of very bland oatmeal in the spirit in which it is given. I don't mind coddling you for the moment, however . . .

Please appreciate my point of view. I have a rather busy life to lead. I have places to go and things to do. It would be extremely helpful if you would, er, try to temper your testiness in the very near future. If I continue to coddle you through the weekend, do you think you could please consider pulling up your metaphorical socks and start adhering more closely to your job description (digesting my food without trouble or complaint) sometime, oh, perhaps early next week? For me?

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours,
Peg

I've asked for an extension

I just fired an e-mail off to the Fantasy Matters conference organizers, asking whether they would consider extending the deadline for me by a week, given that I've just been through surgery. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
