Always tooting for th'antihero @Momentrabbit@awoo.space

Hey, @PhoenixTril ? I, ah. Heh. It's funny, really. Y'know how I mentioned how we've never had a basement flood in the house? Heh heh.

No, no, it's not that. Not that bad.

You know how there's a vent in the roof over the kitchen, but there's no vent *at* the kitchen sink waste pipe, and I figured past owners moved the sink but were too lazy to move the vent?

They *weren't* too lazy to cut the vent/waste pipe off in the basement ceiling.

Ha! I did not see that one coming. >.<

@Austin_Dern I am so sorry. u.u

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh, the backskritches I shall give. n.n

@JulieSqveakaroo Actually, yes. Several cc of clear fluid was extracted from one of the subdermal nodules. The following day swelling in the affected region was found to be measurably less. So yay home surgery. n.n

The wrist as a whole is still a mess that defies easy diagnosis. I'd really like to figure out what's binding my index finger flexor: it could be another cyst, or osteoarthritic degeneration, or less likely things.

@JulieSqveakaroo It's not a trick I intend to perform often. My curiosity is satisfied: I'm going to arrange a consult with an expert, and be patient.

@porsupah I like the sound of it.

Ganglionic cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop at wrist and finger joints. They're usually painless themselves, unless they press against a nerve, but they can impede motion of the joint. The permanent solution is surgical removal, but fluid can be drained for diagnostics.

My doctor is in no hurry to deal with the mess that is the swamp behind my right wrist.

She should never have put me on insulin if she didn't want me to normalize stabbing needles into my flesh.

This is charming and hilarious and *excellent* and they're all keepers. 💜

... and if they play you juuuust right, you'll have the first season keyframed before you know it. XD

@porsupah It's ergosonic. n.n

@Austin_Dern Best of luck! May the Ghods of Tilt be with you!

@porsupah ... yesss. Exactly so. I shall build my new desk out of the Grid itself.

Muah. Huah. _Ha_.

Mmmph. Sure. Now's a good time to get up. (*heads to work*)

Back. Or something mostly Moment-shaped is, anyhow.

Folly is up and running smoothly.

Think I've figured out a desk design that works with my increasing physical decrepitude. Shall chew on it a bit more. Maybe prototype it first using grid-beam and scrap plywood.

@mawr *gentle, sad hugshugs for soft friend* Yes.

@anthracite *snickers* Rank hath its privileges.

Good Night, Night Vale... Good Night.
