I'm in bed with Ellie asleep on my lap. I can't find my remote and my TV is stuck on an infomercial where they are talking about bowel movements. It is so gross and I have no way to turn it off! Seriously this guy is talking about the size and width of his daughter's bowel movements.

ION, poor EM. That is so creepy!

I guess the bowel movement killed the thread. It was pretty gross.

Ellie and I are headed to Miami to day and then back again tomorrow. Ellie will spend tomorrow with her grandma while I go to a training course.

in semi-related news, it's Digestive Disease Week in DC.

Hec, I'm sorry to hear about EM's problems. And, Raq, while I'm sorry to hear about your coworker's daughter and her friend, I'm glad they're going to be (physically) OK.

it's Digestive Disease Week in DC

Isn't it always?

Hec, gah. Can EM come up with several plans for what do to if? Like knowing where the police stations are and driving there when Psycho Ex shows up, or if she sees him near her car again, taking a digital photo as proof of violation of restraining order? After that thing in Seattle, I am really worried for her, and right there with Fay. Aidan never has to know...

Plus, if it can be proven he took the briefcase, that's theft, which should get him locked up for a bit, right?

Of course, after the thing with Coworker's Daughter, I am pretty much on a Death Penalty For Everyone! platform.

Psycho-Ex needs a good dose of karma. And I'd suggest EM be careful, except that it sounds like she already is.

And wishes for speedy recovery (in all ways) for Raq's co-worker's daughter and friend.

Raq, it's OFFICIALLY DDW (yes, that's what all the backpacks, signs, etc. say). And we're getting gridlock with the buses that have big Prevacid ads on them. sigh.

They have backpacks?!? Rock! I want a backpack for DDW!

Realtor just phoned - two of the four rental places are off the list (the one right next to the metro won't take cats, even neutered declawed ones). So rental~ma for at least one of the other two to be wonderful?

Not to be all me me me this morning, but I'm looking for some southern Florida driving advice. Laura? anyone?

I'm driving from MIA to Jupiter tonight and back down tomorrow. Mapquest says to take I-95 but the turnpike is right next to the I-95 entrance in Jupiter and it merges with I-95 in Miami just before my exit. It seems like a better choice - I'd totally pay for a less congested route. Any reason why I shouldn't take it?

I just got a call from my primary care doctor. The labs they did for my surgery included a urine sample and it turns out I have a UTI.

I'm not in any pain but now I have to figure out how my Percocet, Seroquel, Lamictal, and antibitotic are all going to work together. What fun.

Kinda cool they caught it before it started hurting, askye. I'm sure the meds will all work out.
