Delay of the Necromancer

[smokingboot]

Well, that was short, sweet and definite. The specialist wants Sauron gone soon, and, contrary to my expectations, his destiny is not to be frozen off or scraped flat (Sauron, that is, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the specialist) no, the necromancer will be scooped to death in a minor op. Specifically, he's going to be cut out in a sort of eye shape ('iiiiiiiccccccccccuuuuuuuu....') and the two sides will be sewn together in a vertical line or something. Great.

My beloved took time off work to take me there and give me moral support. Just as well or I wouldn't have gone. He's going to be there for the next one too, he says. I think he suspects I might not go through with it. He has a point.

This is such a small thing. I just hate it.

So we spent the rest of the day together, watching 13th Warrior over ice-cream and really good beer. Larians is a total gem, not only a wonderful partner but the most kind and patient of best friends.

The specialist doesn't even know if Sauron really is a bad mole. He just doesn't want to take the chance.

Suddenly I want to go to Patagonia.

good, it's about time they took it seriously and got rid of it. Having it cut out sounds like a preferable option to me hun, they can be sure to get it all that way.

You're right Russ is lovely and supportive, you're lucky :)

*hugs*

Yes, I think they are taking the same approach. It's back to the old mould spores in jam theory, scooping down and round...

Groo. Perhaps there's such a thing as too much imagination!

Re Support, I am very lucky indeed with my love, but also with my excellent friends:-)

I won't regale you with horrid stories then :)

We are coming round tonight by the way, mostly to collect the airbed but would be cool to have chats and things if you're not too busy.

Am bored to tears here today!

I've just replied, but I don't know if you will receive it - sometimes when I answer off the thread, people at the other end don't get my reply, because I'm an idiot who doesn't know what they are doing!

Great to see you tonight - 7pm we're supposed to be checking out some kittens, so probably 7.30 onwards is best.

See you very soon!

suits me - will probably come round for about 8ish then :)

It's good that you have larians around.
I'm glad they're not taking any chances, and are just giving Sauron the snip.
You're in my thoughts, sweetheart. If there is anything I or Rich can do, please give us a yell!

Thank you, that is very kind indeed. Apart from random bleats of self-pity I should be fine. Oh, and ice-cream and beer and great movies and chums and stuff etc, etc, etc!

It'll be good it have Sauron (and his associated worry) out of the way for good. Give it a year from removal and you'll have forgotten all about the trauma you feel now. However, if you were to give it a year and not have him removed, I'm sure you'd still have the "ohmigod Sauron's going to eat my head!" feeling.

I don't envy you the op, but I'm sure it'll be fine. You probably won't even have an interesting scar to make up stories of evil possession about.

I'm actually ashamed of this being a bit of a trauma for me when other people are having real operations for real problems. Talk about wimpdom!

Doc says there will be a scar, but I am already working on a story of how the jaguar spirit attacked me when I was wandering the Amazon...and once the thing's healed I am going to treat myself to a few henna tattoos around it, so I can pretend it's worth the fuss!

Yay Woo!

Big Hugs M'dear, and much happiness that the Docs are joining in with all the foolishness.

Dealing with moles is routine, simple and gives you a good story to tell even without the jaguar spirit.
Not dealing with them kills you.

Cake or death, Cake or death.

PS ooh Kittens!

PPS are you guys around on the 7th/8th ish of November ?
Might be heading up to your end of the world, hopefully with a working vehicle this time...

Cake or death?

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

That'll be cake then.

Re kittens, yes, looks as though it could be happening soon, and we are definitely around on 7/8th November! It would be great to see you. Give us a shout re your plans...

The Plan, the subtle subtle plan...

Greetings oncemore Darling girl,
The plan at this end has at last solidified to the point where I have some vague idea of what's going on. (A first for me!)

I'll be heading up to the frozen north on the evening of the 4th Nov or the morning of the 5th. It would be excellent to spend a little time with your wonderful self sometime on friday or possibly sunday afternoon.

Possible, Impossible ?
