Happy Birthday, erika! I'd wish you tequila but I know it upsets your stomach. I hope all the good things you deserve start lining up for you.

This one is for Hec:

Bwah! Though to be fair I'd laugh even if that was the family dog or iguana.

Raq & Suzi: Nick Swisher is touring JZ's hospital today. She's going to try and get his autograph on Emmett's glove.

And for those of you don't thread skip, my DxH is dating ysomeone. I am way less happy than I should be for him.... I want to really wish him happiness and the best. I just don't know how I feel about moving on...

Happy B-Day erika!

S-Cube, hope that throat feels better soon.

Nick Swisher is touring JZ's hospital today.

I know this is a PR the A's set-up for him, but he is a really good guy. I bet he is great with the folks there. I had the chance to chat with him a couple of years ago at spring training and he was very personable.

S-Cube - throat~ma to you.

My headache seems to be giving in to the meds...at least enough that I feel more functional. Will see how it goes. On tap for today, after 8 hours of work is band orientation for CJ and then the A's for me (all by myself!!!).

Okay! A few hours later and while it hasn't ceased to be crazy, it has gotten somewhat less overwhelming. I'm working in a children's hospital, which is strangely rewarding and at the same time very sad indeed. It's the GI Unit, and everyone is very nice (almost everyone I've met in Ireland has been very nice!), but this hospital is the most poorly designed facility I have ever been in ever. Ever ever.

Happy birthday, erika! Late last night Hec and I ushered in your natal day by watching the first episode of Deadwood. It kicked our asses in all kinds of good ways. So in addition to all the other goodies that are and should be coming your way, you get a special birthday toaster, you beautiful cocksucker, you.

I know this is a PR the A's set-up for him, but he is a really good guy.

Oh, yeah, I know that, but the hospital people are very protective of the Famous Folk who come to visit the kids, and don't like anyone who is not an actual sick child taking up their time. So I'm not even going to attempt to meet him; I'll just go to the Child Life Services office early to drop off the glove and a note and play all my emotional blackmail cards (decade-long employee, just back after a month of bedrest imposed after starting to bleed out just down the hall from their office, donated scores of books to the playroom over the years, blah blah bliddy blah).

If I could actually get near Swish I know he'd be fabulous, but I seriously doubt Child Life will let it happen. So, emotional blackmail of their staff it is.

{{{{Cass}}}} That always sucks, doesn't it?

you get a special birthday toaster, you beautiful cocksucker, you

Ah. Nothing like a Deadwood birthday wish. Hee.

So the Massachusetts Coaltion for the Homeless won't take the couch. See, there is a small, tear in one of the cushions. Apparently, the homeless people don't like that and won't take it.

Good grief. I can't even give this freaking thing away.

Of course, I promised my landlord it would be off the porch today. So, I've moved it to the sidewalk. Sure hope someone walks off with it soon.
