i just had surgery. i have *exactly* enough money to pay for all my meds until i get money again, on approximately the 20th of september. so i am *not* going there (the "GO HERE"), because i HEART Dave Freer with an unholy passion and i need my zanaflex (and every thing else, thank you sigh) and if i go over there i *will* give money and there goes the halcion, the oxycotin, the phenigrin and probably my lunch (being that the phenigrin is what lets me *keep* my lunch, ya know?)

so, i must ask you: how long? will this still be there on the 20th, or do i need to beg friends to loan me money to donate to Dave Freer? (the Pyramid books! *swoon* yes, there's an awful lot of Eric Flint, too, but since Mr. Flint is currently tied for first place in my heart with Robert Heinlein, this is a Good Thing) because i may be able to borrow money, but i *KNOW* i will have money on the 20th. it may not be a *LOT*, but i happen to know that my $7.50 bought one of my favorite web comic writers a *very* nifty pair of socks after her apartment building burned, and my $15 was *incredibly* useful in obtaining the new security system for the women's shelter i used to be able to volunteer at (and, incidentally, so was a really good friend of mine who is a security systems specialst in the Air Force who was on leave and really appreciates the brownies i send along, occasionally, when i can afford chocolate) - so i am guessing that the $15-$20 i can find will be really helpful in helping one of the dogs (i'm sorry, cats love me because i dislike cats. i'm a horrible, horrible person, but i'm a person who doesn't need to avoid wearing dark colors because the cat can't resist them) get thru the... quarintine? that's what it is, right? they have to be in quarantine for X amount of time since they are immigrating? (i've seen this on multiple LJs, since i got on tonight. i should have been on when i got home from the hospital, but...)

so, what i am saying is if it is something that is taking time, i can donate probably $20 around the 20th, if it's a *right now!* sort o' job, i can probably find $10, but i can't! go look for myself because if i *DO* right now, i will not in fact be donating money but pain. and possibly another bout of MRSA, and after the last time i would not even go and see a Resurrected Robert Heinlein who is giving away free, signed, first edition copies of Starship Troopers AND The Number of the Beast, next door, if there is a chance of more MRSA.

also, please understand that i have been on a pretty damned strict regimine of duladid every 4 hours whether i wanted it or not for a week, and that makes my brain kind of... verbose? chattery? loquasious, even, if i could spell it or even make my spell check work in this state... sorry, um... sorry for inflicting you with LizOnDuladid(tm), but it really does seem to be the safest way at the moment...

incidentally, a friend of mine (ok, a guy i play D&D with, i think when he came to visit me at the hospital was the first time i had seen him *not* gaming. except i barely remember anything, except he was there, he wheelchaired me outside for a smoke, and he gave me the book and card, which was actually really shocking. i mean, PETE only got me a book! the card was... on the other hand, he's an English teacher, so that probably explains it.) somehow heard, i suspect from my boyfriend, that i have been wanting a new, not-stolen copy of Digital Knight and found me one. woo-hoo! when i can read more than a page at a time and remember it all, i am reading it again! and since it is sort-of short stories, sort-of not, it'll be extra brilliant when i can do that. i am really hoping i will be able to read it by Sunday... saturday i am allowed to stop taking the duladid, so there's a *good* chance... *I* am cheering, anyway.

(and if nothing else, i hope you laughed at something that i wrote here. gods know everyone else has been laughing at me lately... but that's just because i am the SOBER person all the time, so it's extra funny when i seem drunk. or drugged. or both.)
