Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hey, whatcha doing this weekend? If I'm not helping the Zmayhems, wanna go to the petting zoo? (That's for Juliana too)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HEE!!!! insert other sounds of slightly maniacal laughter here
I would love to go to the petting zoo. I would also love to go see JZ this weekend. I don't know that either of those are happening. Well, the JZ thing might, because IIRC, the hospital isn't too far away from GG Park where I have been volunteered to work the WF booth for the AsthmaWalk this Saturday.
Seriously, people. I'm an admin because I'm lazy and I wanted time to do theater. This job ain't supposed to be that high-powered. I'm working 45+ hour weeks at this point, and that's before I add in working the entire weekend at the restaurant.

but her central line leaks so the meds weren't getting in her system, so that went away.
Then they should put in a new one! God, it just makes me so angry -- my mom has been chronically (and sometimes dangerously) ill with lupus since I was a kid, and for every fabulous nurse, doctor, and hospital she's been in, she's had trouble like this. Fighting for what you need when you're the patient, and in pain, is so difficult. And a lot of doctors don't make clear that you're perfectly entitled to ask questions and advocate on your own behalf.
Sorry. It's a button of mine. I hope she can get some relief soon, Suzi. And big hugs for you.

Poor David. I shouldn't be laughing at you. So I'm laughing with you. (Had a sleepless baby night last night, feel your pain like whoa.)
I'm sort of laughing along with both of you. We also did the freak-ass schedule last night for some reason. Liv went to bed at 10. I went to bed at midnight, had some difficulty falling asleep. Then Liv got up at 1:30. And at 2:00. And I gave up trying to get her back to sleep by 3:00.
She finally went back down for good at 4:30. And Owen got up at 6:30. I squeezed in a little sleep between 5 and 7:30--DH got up with Owen before he went to work but he had to wake me when it was time to leave.
Serpentine!
It's a great, classic moment. Did they do "Serpentine!" in the crappy remake?
{{{Suzi's mom}}} My cousin has received a kidney from one of his brothers and his mother (after the first donated one failed). I can't get over how much they have to cut you open to do this! I hope they can take care of her pain quickly.
Hey, all. Halloweenie! Or, um SeptembeWeenie? I skipped and skimmed to check in while my students are watching a movie.
Yeah, for JZ and David! SO exciting! And remind to nevernevernever have a baby! Yowch.
I have SO MANY BOOKS in my classroom. AND I get bookshelves hopefully tomorrow.
Ok, gotta go.

{{HecBrain}} I'm so glad everything is going well and they get to come home on Saturday. You're such a good dad. Matilda is a lucky girl to have the wonderful parents and brother she's got.
Hec, if'n you're in the mood to answer a musical question, Nick has been interested in some music with a jazzy sound ala the demon in OMWF. He wants to find something similar to soak his brain in, but has had difficulty finding quite the right sound. The closest thing I can come to it is the soundtrack to Chicago. Any suggestions you'd like to impart?
Oh Suzi, I'm so sorry. Much ease-ma to her for the pain, and to you, for the worry.
David, I'm still bouncing a little at New!Baby!Girl! but I do hear you on the sleepnow!sleepnow! brainogram. Squooz JZ for me, and little Matilda, too. And punch Emmett on the arm--and then hug him, too.
What's with all the crap-ass medical equipment anyway? We had so many faulty telemetry monitors and missing cords and whatnot. I'm thinking that hospitals run hard on the profit line don't maintain and upgrade like they used to.
Tell.me.about.it. Don't wanna talk hospitals just now.
I wished Nicole happy elsewhere, but Happy Belated, you! I hope there was cake.
There was probably more I meant to say, but all I can think about is Haircut! This afternoon! And I'm trying to summon and mentally practice the body language and gestures to accompany the instructions:"Too short last time. Shorter than now, longer than then."
