Jesus, ita. Is there anything I can do for you? I hate not being able to help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Christ, ita, you're still there? I'm sorry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Has your pain at least decreased, ita?

Are they keeping you over night? is B there with you?

random question

if you have had an exterminator come, have they made you empty ALL of the drawers if you have builtins? They want us to empty all of the bedroom and hallway closets, in addition to all of the kitchen cabinets (which is done! yay me!). I just can't. I'm too tired.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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

No B, sadly. I was just on the phone with him when my IV slipped out and I started squirting blood all over everything, so I haven't even had a chance to get a daily fix.

Yup. Still here. And no discharge instructions, so here through tomorrow morning at least, unless I leave AMA.

My pain is down from the 9.5 to brought me in to about a 7.5. My normal goal is to get it below 5 before leaving, or 6 if I'm having a drug-induced panic attack.

Now I'm just grumpy, wearing yesterday's clothes now blood-spotted, and haven't been able to sleep despite the dopey drugs, and itching like a mo fo. Which is terribly unfair when you consider the amount of Benadryl I was on before the itching even started.

I think I officially have a dilaudid tolerance. Because of the itching they're alternating it with something...with something pink. Maybe that will help the efficacy.

It's a pink junta thing, right?

Fucking hell, ita. Where are you? I'm feeding Noah then bundling him up with some clothes for you. I'm not remotely a substitute for B, but you should at least have fresh clothes and a toothbrush.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita, when you're blood splattered I prefer it be from your sparring partner.

Matilda has successfully transmitted her cold to JZ and I.

I don't get colds that often anymore because Emmett gave me everything local between his first and third years. But I must've missed this one.

Just an annoying, snuffling, sneezy head cold. Feh.
