Morning! I just heard a bird singing outside, so we may be back to pre-spring weather again.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That may well be true, Theo. There are cardinals singing outside right now, and it's a balmy 22 degrees out.
So much better than yesterday's nine.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
5am.
Nausea.
Don't wanna throw up.
Make it go away.

Feel better, Allyson.
Is there anything you can drink, slowly and in small sips? Ginger-ale or some-sort-of-Coka-Cola-like drink or the like? Do you have a lemon? Sometimes smelling it or even tasting a bit of it can help with nausea.

I intensely dislike bitter, carbonated beverages. Unfortunately, that was my Mom's A#1 remedy for nausea. I must have thrown up on her several times because of that....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A quick Google tells me this:
If your landlord is responsible for heating your apartment, and the heat is regularly below the City code regulations, then you should notify your landlord in writing that he must bring the heat up to the City's regulations. For Chicago the heating season begins September 15th and ends May 31st. The minimum temperature that must be maintained in each unit is:
65° between 7:30am and 8:30am
68° between 8:30am and 10:30pm
63° between 10:30pm and 7:30am.
I woke up to 57° in my apartment.

Oh, ugh, aurelia. That's no good.

Oooh, hi Nilly! I hope I didn't miss you.
GA thoughts: What bugged me about the spontaneous orgasm case was that they didn't offer a diagnosis! Why did it require surgery? Honestly, it was probably overproduction of seratonin that could have been handled by pharmacology. Or something. But it bugged me that there was this neat case thrown in with no diagnosis. Also, geez, interns, could you be more crass? Izzie is smarter than that.
While I've been ambivalent at most towards Meredith this whole time, that last scene just pissed me off at both of them. Meredith for being ridiculously self-involved and deaf, and George for *knowing* that Meredith deals with heartache through random sex and still doing it because it happens to be the girl he's wanted to sleep with this whole time and thinking with his dick.
Cristina and Burke dancing would be on my iPod, if I had a video one, so that I could watch it every morning and dance to my coffee.
Why don't they cancel college for snow days? That doesn't seem fair.

Thanks! I'm good, save for bronchitis and having to go to class. But that seems to be baseline normal these days. How are you? How are the studies going?
