So so awesome.

Why did you not want to think too hard about the rest?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because I'm cranky at several of the characters and many of the story lines.

And yes, that was the sister.

It was the sister that Derek flirted with? I can't decide if I love that or hate that.

Yes, it was the sister, both in the bar with Derek and the locker room with George.

What is even happening?

it was against hospital policy
Kat, was the hotel/restaurant at the hospital, or are you just so used to typing hospital that your fingers ad-libbed?

OMG, I hate shopping. I tried, I really did. Ended up with camis in black and white and two shades of blue. That's it. And I may return them. I haven't decided. Everything is ugly or would be unworkable on me. I cannot wear pink. I can't do peach. Uhg.

Anyway, that was not successful. It was lovely weather, I should have gone to the zoo instead. But no. At least I spent a lot of time on the balcony.

Glad the box arrived!

babhahahah! I meant hotel. Damn. You are right, Cindy. Must go edit.

Also, I've decided that I HATE that it was Meredith's sister. I mean, that's a telegraph of where they are going.

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

GA: My heart broke for Cristina there. I've read around the web that her reaction could be read as relief or anguish, and I completely don't see it. It was all anguish from where I was sitting. Sure, she said she was free, but she didn't sound like she was enjoying it.

Kat, what you hate also irritates me. Oyveh is all I have to say to it.

Did "house-fixing" shopping today. That means replacing my normal bulbs with the curly one, finally getting machine washable place mats, a lock for my storage bin, a fan (dude, Vornado's at Bed Bath & Beyond? With me holding the 20% off coupon? I totally bought one for the living room).

I'm tired, and irritated. Some jackass was half parked in my parking spot when I got back with all my stuff. I saw him when he eventually ran back to get his car, and he wasn't even hanging out in my apartment complex. Jackass.

Holy crap. All of my Vegas stories from this trip are bathroom related!

I went into the bathroom at a rest stop on the way back this morning. I walked in behind this woman. She was pretty picky about the bathroom and wanted a clean stall (and really, who doesn't). She went into the next stall over from me. She was one of those perchers. You know the type: The women who refuse to sit on a toilet seat.

Anyhow, lady could not hit the bowl. Instead she splashed the floor and almost me, a stall away. She proceeded to get onto her cell phone and talk from the stall (which is a phone foul). THEN she didn't flush the toilet nor wipe off the pee. NOR did she wash her hands.

My favorite thing? As I watched her walk away while talking on her cell phone. I noticed the splashes of urine on her pant leg.

Seriously? She was so freaking yucky.
