Also: I guarantee you complaining SV guy would actually be equally un-happy if he had $1M instead of $10M, or $15M or whatever. He's not going to be filling up that empty emotional hole with more money, no matter how many dollar bills are in it. Honestly he has a better chance to find happiness by working a 40-hour week and taking less money. So instead of calling him an asshole, I just sort of pity him.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Finally the doctor shows.
Turns out he is good friends with the instructor that assists me on Sunday mornings.
I am so fucking irritable right now, and being two degrees from my random doctor isn't helping.
Also, I want pizza, and I want to go home. Oh, and the pain thing.
Man, internet in hospital rooms is a terrible idea.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Why is it a terrible idea?
I would imagine ita meant it from the hospital's point of view. Internet in hospital = Instant Public Hospital Complaints (tm). Just add bandwidth!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Or at least for hotels with a good pool system, like Mandalay Bay. I'd rather stay at MB then at Winn or Bellagio.
Exactly this.

argh! typing and grammar error! I mean THAN not THEN. Brain goes faster than fingers. der.
So in addition to my easy stressfree life? Tomorrow the exterminators are coming to spray at our house. They've asked that we remove everything from kitchen cabinets (not a problem), but ALSO from closets. Seriously? i have a 4 month old baby? And you want me to move everything.
GR.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
erikaj, tell that nasty voice to shut the hell up. You're pretty damn cool. You kick its whispery little ass.

My downfall and I think a lot of other peoples' too is being caught up in thinking we need much more more than we do or that we really should have stuff just because we want it. I need basically no more clothes for like 3 years. I did NOT need the new furniture I just bought - cause what I have is fine and not even stained or torn, it is just old and not great in my space.

One way to tell you're being too hard on yourself is asking "Would I say something that nasty about another person in that same situation?" We really can be much more hard on ourselves with much less excuse, sometimes.
