Serene of the Oakland Serenes

Thanks this week go to at least the following people:

Thanks to Dr. Asshole and his team of surgeons for safely and successfully operating on dbubley.

Thanks to loracs, for bringing us the prescriptions I left at your house, and for holding things together on the home front.

Thanks to stonebender, for always being there to keep me company.

Thanks to someotherguy, sogwife, and wtfpotatoes, for being so supportive this month while I've been gone more than I've been home.

Thanks, clever_doberman, for taking care of the minions list.

Thanks, wtfpotatoes, for being right on top of taking care of your guinea pig.

Thanks, ailbhe, for keeping me company and caring about me and my family.

Thanks, therealjae, for nurturing my passions.

Thanks, mommaduck, for the humongous box of clothes you just shipped to us.

Thanks, everyone who voted for Barack Obama, and everyone in the US and elsewhere who supported him in word and deed while he campaigned not only for his own election victory, but for a chance to restore America to some semblance of decency and fair play.

Thanks, wild_irises, for checking in with me before your trip, and for always looking out for me.

Thanks, bastette_joyce, for the drop-in visit.

Thanks, baerana, for your lenience with my sluggishness, and for your true friendship.

There are more, I know there are, and I may sit down a few more times today to enumerate them. I'm feeling really grateful today.
