If anyone has any other ideas for exercise without ankle, I'd love to hear them.
Rowing is a nice aerobic exercise if you have a waterway option.

You're a sick man, Smay.
Alcohol lowers inhibitions! It's the perfect time.
but I think I told my hairdresser to go too short.

She popped up onto the couch, kissed my cheek, and said, "You're not busy anymore. I kissed you and made it all better."
They love you back! That's the whole thing of parenting.

Well that sucks! I mean, she's one of two reasons to watch the movie and to off her her in the first 15 mintues sucks.
In poop news, Grace pooped on her own for the first time in like 6 weeks. Let me not talk about how much I hate her hospital. But today, when I visited her, I just sort of cried the whole time because it looks like she will be having a tracheostomy and a ventilator at home for all of her early childhood and I am going to have a nightmare of a time trying to figure out childcare/home nursing.
On the upside? I'm teaching a new class at UCLA on analytical writing in middle school classrooms.

OH! and I have a job interview for an out of the classroom gig.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lots of interview~ma, Kat. Sorry about the possibility of Grace's tracheostomy but yay on the poop. I hope the childcare/nursing thing isn't too much of a nightmare.

Kat, I hope all ends up well. I'm frustrated on your behalf at Childrens. Not like that means shit, but I am.

Uh, it's not as flattering as in the past ? Too much bang. Too..something. Definitely too butch. In a couple weeks, it'll be softer (my pref) and I'll like it. That's one thing about my hairdresser, her cuts? Grow out beautifully. None of this desperately needing a cut because it's grown out. I honestly could go from this to below the shoulders and it'd still look good. She's awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In fairness, Grace's nurse today, Valerie, is incredibly kind and incredibly nice. When K went this afternoon to hold Grace she told her how bad she felt about me being upset and how she wanted to let us both know that we should feel free to vent about everything.
Which I wouldn't do to the nursing staff. Though in my head, I was composing what I wanted to say, "My daughter looks sicker now than she has since was born. And each day it appears you are doing your damnedest to kill her. I question not only your competency but your ethics in allowing her to get to this state and you are a shame to the Hippocratic oath."

Oh, Kat. Poor Grace. I want so much for her. And all of you all, but especially her. Poor kiddo with the crappy haircut and really tough times. I'm glad at least there is a Valerie. I wish there were more of them there. Damnit. Damnit. Damnit.
I want our girl home and healthy and making life difficult only with off-timed poopy diapers and bathtimes.

Yeah. Me too.
In lighter kvetching, Noah and I were on the couch and I went to finally watch the last 3 episodes of Heroes. When I got the finale, I was all, YAY. Then I realized for some reason, Tivo only taped the first 10 minutes. So, off to iTunes to buy it.
