Oh man, on re-read at 8:53am, that sounds much more sarcastic than it did in my under-caffeinated head at 5:30something. It was supposed to read as good natured teasing. I'm sorry. In person, I'm far more pleasant.

Hee. It's not a problem, really. I was pretty much asking for the sarcasm.

Okay, could I have picked a profession in which I work myself to exhaustion for a less grateful audience?

I suppose so. I could be a repo man. It's still a bit tiring.

Not all my classes, I should point out. But I've got two now that are pretty much there on sufferance, and figure that they shouldn't have to do anything at all. Which is just spiffy.

Waaaah!

t /bitching about getting what she signed up for

Aw, man, meara, that suck-diddly-ucks.

I just had a very nice talk with one of the postdoc fellows, who stopped by to congratulate me on the Halloweenie and stayed to commiserate about working in a pediatric subspecialty at a teaching hospital. She admitted to having spent much of her pregnancy rubbing conducting gel all over her belly and scanning herself way more often than necessary, out of sheer paranoia. And she also said that if I get panicky (which I kind of did last night, because I haven't felt the Halloweenie move yet and all the books seemed to say I should, so clearly it was my selfish inability to give up coffee that had wrecked everything, and I spent most of last night on the verge of tears, but too humiliated by my own total whack-ass craziness to admit it to anyone but Hec), I can page her and she'll scan me or Doppler the Halloweenie's heartbeat to reassure me.

I work with some good peeps, is what it is.

Oh! Oh! Or a Bail Bondsman!

Ok. Bitches, enough with the health trama and the bad days! Everyone to our house for taquitos, rice, drinks, ice cream cake and whatever else your little hearts desire. Except for Kristin. She gets soup and gentle hugs.

Um, did everyone except me know that there's a whole hullaballoo going on about LJ suspending users who have breastfeeding icons as their default? The fuck?

Thanks for the advice, Beverly. It's really more for me than for her at this point; I am driving myself a little crazy and I feel like I need to just do something. That probably makes no sense.

ION, I just woke up from a nap. I really overslept, the kitchen is a mess, and there is no way that dinner is going to be ready in 11 minutes.

I sure didn't, and I second your the fuck?

My taquitos! t /Gir

I'm eating a vanilla cupcake with pink icing and white sprinkles. It's cute and yummy and matches my outfit! What more could a girl ask for?
