I am back from just over 4 hours of getting poked and prodded at the urgent care facility. If I go to my regular doctor he is not allowed to do blood tests, and he was not there first thing this morning anyway, so I went to urgent care. I got IV liquids, IV antibiotics, and a flu test (negative). Four hours after I took my tylenol, I asked if I could take more, they said no because my fever was gone. I told them it was coming back. They didn't believe me. Twenty minutes later it was back up to 101. I threw a fit when they tried to get me admitted to the hospital, so they are making me come back tomorrow for more IV antibiotics and liquids. They think the infection may have spread to my kidneys.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

The thing about daycare is that, IME, they KNOW that you will do anything for your child to NOT BE DIFFERENT. And so, they don't plan.
Man, it's such a good thing that I won't be having kids. Because I would give my child(ren) trauma for life. "Cards and treats by 7 am tomorrow? As if. My kid'll be spending 9 hours playing with other kids--that's a party in itself."
And then those 9 hours would be spent with the other kids pinching Callietta, saying, "Why's your mom such a bitch, kiddo?"

Lillian was sitting next to her, made a note of this, and proceeded to stick her hand in front of the other baby's nose to protect it from the attack of the snot sucker.
This is too cute.

Plei, that's adorable.
And then the not-returning-calls-after-work thing is just because I am lazy and a shitty friend. Sorry.
Can we make a time or something?

Thanks. I feel pathetic continually posting about this. I am not begging for hugs or hairpats, I just figured you all deserved an update. I actually feel a little bit better right now. I hope I am much improved by tomorrow, because the next time I get admitted into a hospital I better be in labor. I have had enough of hospitals this lifetime, thank you very much.

I love Laura.
erika, Veronica Hamel as Joyce Davenport is one of my huge televisual crushes. Too bad the rest of her career was in Lifetime movies, but damn, she got that one perfect character once in her career.
