And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Yay for Emmett, coming through with flying colors.

Went out like a light under general and woke up 1.5 hours later with no perception of the time passage.

This was me. Count backwards from ten, they tell me.

"Ten, nine, eight, sev-"

"Okay, you can wake up now."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm home.

My apartment didn't get packed while I was gone.

Stoopid packing elves.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Did you leave brownies out for them?

Now tagless for your comfort.

When I had my knee surgery, I was completely freaked out because it turned out that I knew one of the surgical nurses, but didn't know she was going to be in on my surgery. It was like a doped up family reunion.

I'm naked, cold and stoned, ready to get the gas:

"Hi, Lisa."

"Whoa, Paula! I didn't even realize you were a nurse! Doooood."

"Count backwards from 10."

"Uhhhh...10....9....."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I had my TMJ (jaw) surgery (which lasted more than four hours), I got mad when I woke up and my mom and sister had gone home already. Well, it turned out they had waited for me to wake up after the operation, and had even talked to me, but I just didn't remember that at all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A pretty juvenile 50 y.o., wouldn't you say?

The impression I got from Nurse Mercy (from Jamaica) was that she considered him more articulate than the average 8 y.o. I suspect the other 8 y.o.'s aren't reading enough Roald Dahl.

We had Nurse Seble, Nurse Berlin, Nurse Sandy and Nurse Mercy. And Dr. Phillippa (her first name) and Dr. Bartlett (his last, but that's what I'm remembering).

Damnit!

I don't remember being put out for getting my tonsils removed when I was five, but when I was put under when I got my wisdom teeth removed, the dentist gave me a valium to take first, so I wouldn't freak out about the gas.

Holy crap, it is a crazy storm out there. I think I'ma turn the computer off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like Emmett was a trooper. Glad he wasn't pukey from the anesthesia, too.

ION, I am so freaking happy to be home right now, I don't even know. I don't get how people with the big crazy jobs don't kill themselves. I've just had two 12-hour days in a row and even with a couple of hours this afternoon basically staring into space, I am WHIPPED.
