Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Maybe I should see about that breakfast thing, huh?

Well, what do *you* think you should do about it, then?

[Edit: my possibly-hopefully-one-day future-kids will find this page someday and totally use it against me, right?]

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

Hee. I had some triscuits, which should hold me until I get t o work, where they have fruit and english muffins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday, meara and Jen!

I don't think I need to be mommied. I mean, I'm taking a(nother) sick day. But between sending the email to my co-workers and now, I have had some truly awfully fitful sleep. I think I feel worse. I certainly don't feel more rested or in less pain.

I should maybe try again.

Maybe a hot shower, then sleep?

My baby can play, and I can upload videos! So clever we two are! [link]

keep sleeping until you feel either better or rested or both.

ita, you really don't seem to need any mommy-ing (unless you want to Jewish kind to somehow connect to krav) - you definitely seem to do all the right things.

flea, he's so adorable! He plays so seriously! I mean, yeah, it's probably the most complicated thing he has done so far, but it's so cute to see him so concentrated in reaching out to the toy!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nilly!

I am still bed-resty, until at least Sept. 6. At which point I plan to lobby hard to be released back into the wild. I'm all stir-crazy, I'm making Hec crazy, and all the lying around is turning me from an actual human being composed of brain and bone and muscle tone into a sack of suet. Since my job is only two blocks away, consists of sitting at a desk lifting nothing heavier than a occasional ream of paper, and is a 30-second elevator ride from the ER, the risks inherent in returning to work seem pretty darn low.

I'm being gorgeously pampered by Hec, though, despite making him insane with my constant nesting-instinct fussing, and I'm in the middle of a huge stack of trashy novels (and one pirate-girl adventure novel) sent by various Buffistas, so at least I'm occupied if not actually busy.

How are you doing? How is your family?

I just got a nice surprise. My friend who'd moved 4 hours away back in March stopped by to pack up her office, so we got to visit! Funny is that she left in March, and technically ceased employment 2 months ago. But anywho, it was nice to see her and I really need to get my shit together and visit soon, while her daughter still remembers me!

How many weeks along are you?

Each of my friends who had to lie for bed-rest described herself just like you do. Only they didn't have the advantage of an ER so nearby, so maybe you will be allowed to get back to work, after all.

And go Hec for the pampering and the not-really-going-insane, too.

As for me, well, one of my brothers (the one who was called for reserve duty two weeks after finishing his mandatory service) is now home (well, not home - he went hiking, but not-in-the-army home), and the other should be home by next week. The friend whose DH was on reserve duty (and all her family in the north) who was staying with us finally got to return home, with said DH, so things are definitely getting calmer.

flea, I didn't know you had had your baby already. Belated congratulations!
