I am celebrating my improved blood sugar numbers with potato chips, the carb poison par excellance. I'll revert to sensibility in a bit, but now I'm revelling in sour cream and onion.
Hubby had to go to another office to get some blood drawn yesterday, and in the waiting room there was a table with a jigsaw puzzle. I'd forgotten how damned soothing a jigsaw puzzle is. Order from chaos, then you can make chaos again, and the upper mind gets a chance to shut down and let the pattern recognition centers dominate. I do my best plotting/day dreaming over a jigsaw puzzle.
They always have one available. The lab is part of the Huntsman Cancer Center, one of the best cancer centers in the country, and they don't skimp on money. Lots of kids and young folks up there, as opposed to the old folks waiting in the cardiac section where Hubby normally is. If there's something the Huntsman people can do to make a patient feel better, they'll do it. They have a fireplace in one corner. Hubby saw a boy come in one day who said, "Oh, a fireplace! Darn, it's not lit." The staff said, "We can turn it on for for you, no problem." It's reassuring to see examples of humanity whose primary reaction isn't, "Why are you bothering me? You're just trying to make work for me."
That's nice to hear that Huntsman is so patient-oriented, connie. And congratulations on your good numbers.
Feeling bad for all judges, now. But also glad that my friend doesn't have to be in ocurt near as often as he used to (he worked for an evidence management company, he wasn't being arrested or sued a lot).
Gronk. I'm here. Yeah, that's about all I have to say about me right now.
Yay, Nora!!! Congratulations!!!

O just slid out of his lap and walked around the ottoman for about 20 minutes crying inconsolably.

actually, my doctor called them "silent migraines" because I almost never have any pain with them. I hope the same is true for sj
No such luck, I had a splitting headache and dizziness to match the vision distortion.
Go, Aimee! Knock their socks off.

Yeah, it is. When I went to Borders to see They Might Be Giants, there was a girl at the entrance greeting, and she asked me if I were there to see the show, and I said yeah. She asked if I had any questions, and I said, "...What kind of questions would I have?" She said, where it is, when it is. "It's up there," I said. Afterwards, I felt like I'd been rude, but I was just really confused by someone being, you know, helpful.
SJ! I'm glad to know you are doing better!
Thanks Lilty. I am so sick of not feeling well.
You know one time this weekend I had a big coughing spasm in the kitchen and fell to my hands and knees. Leif took that moment to climb onto my back so he could reach the donuts on the counter.

It's all about seizing the opportunity.
