I could bring you some Matzo Ball Soup, if you want.

ETA: That's applicable to either of you.

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

Dude, if you want to go to the ER, call me. We'll wrap you in blankets and put the top down to avoid contamination. ;-)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am way too worried about these sick people in LA -- sending as much healthy ma~~~ as we can in that direction.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Feel better, ita. I hope the hospital gives you the meds you need, and I'm glad your sister is with you.

Exactly what KristinT said.

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

Thanks for the offer, Kristen.

I hope to be unconscious for much of my stay, rendering the issue moot. I have no idea what they intend to do to me this time, but I hope it's either dramatic or...

Nah, don't remember. The drugs they gave me might have been insufficient, but they certainly are altering.

I walk into all of this, all the time, with a paranoia about coming across like a drug-seeker. Which makes me diffident when I shouldn't be. My standard escort has an ability to be authoritative without raising his voice (he is his own big stick, and I don't mean porn). My sister's more likely to throw down, funnily enough.

Today's doctor moved straight to 4mg intra-muscular, which is a big old no for me, because I don't want less if it's not going to work. He thought I was very weird for refusing meds until my doc got back to him. But doc did, and ER doc complied, but still reluctantly. I didn't get a chance to get a second dose within an effective window.

Which is why I'm getting admitted. Shit bounced back up. He just came in and told me I was tough. There was a delay in my response because I thought he was describing me medically. Turns out he meant mentally. Which is nice, and should strengthen me against paranoia. Except it totally won't take.

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

Oy, Allyson and ita! We gotta health you two up.

EM's here helping us get ready for xmas. Presents are wrapped. Stew is on the stovetop. I'll be making salmon for JZ.

JZ and Matilda (in a fancy red velvet dress) are off at mass. Emmett got his bike early for xmas so we went on a ride earlier and my legs are killing me. It's been a while. But damn it felt good swooping around through GG Park. But it's a cruiser without gears, so when I'm going up a steep hill the only extra gear is My Quads Are Burning.

After dinner we'll trundle down to the gigantic decorated tree in Golden Gate Park. We'll have hot chocolate and cookies and we'll sing some carols under the tree.

Stockings are stuffed. Still have to clean off the table. Drinking champagne. Christmas is a'cuming in.

Nutty will be happy to hear that Emmett got a Paw Sox cap from his Aunt.

Oh GEEZ. Allyson and ita! ACK. Do either of you need something that I can actually help with? ita, is your sister with you? Allyson, are you feeling like you want to go to urgent care? Cause I have an urgent care trip in my very near future due to an unfortunate ear infection that is making it hard to bite down.

Shockingly, we left Idaho without incident -- even tempted fate by driving through a border spot called Snowville and the roads were clear. WHEE!

Met mom in Vegas. Vegas before xmas = insanity. Noah, bless his pudge heart, didn't melt down in spite of being in the car for 13 hours and dealing with the Flamingo hotel full of every Asian gambling person in the US.

We went to see the conservatory at the Bellagio, had breakfast then got the hell out of there. And now we are home. Gifts are wrapped, stockings have SOMETHING in them. My mom is in the shower and cloth super diapers are being washed.

Sigh.

Seriously, LA People, stop being sick.

And everyone, have a merry xmas, if you do celebrate. Everyone else, enjoy the day too!
