Shit's all sorts of different now.

The overnight nurses I had weren't great. My actual delivery nurse was awesome. And my post-delivery nurses were mostly great.

Still, serious thoughts about going to Boston to have #2. Ooooh! I could my Master's at Simmons! t winks at Jen

Honey! Let's move to Boston after I finish my undergrad!!

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The hard part is actually *not* putting your heart into it, when you're there day in and day out,

Oh, so totally true. Me, I love doing this and I feel very lucky, but so guilty that I'm not trying my hardest, spending all my free time preparing, making every moment fun! and educational! Also, I feel guilty about being half-asleep for my first class every day, but I'm going to see if I can't do something about that for next year. I have no point to make, I'm just tossing that in.

Earlier Sean complimented my improving art by saying that my doofy little sketch looked more like me.

Hey, did you ever finish that comic book you were drawing for my boyfriend eleven years ago?

(Seriously? Dear god (or deaf god, which I typed first), how has it possibly been that long?)

Punishingly Intricate

Played "Rock Band" last night . I think I might have found my calling. I'm gonna give up this bourgeois lifestyle of mine and go out on the road, singing and playing my push-button guitar.

You should fly in this Friday for the Rock Band competition fundraiser we're having!

not your mom's socks.

My delivery nurse was fantastic, as was my post-care nurse (she was actually there the whole week and we have video of her coming in the room saying "It's Carolyn! With the DRUGS!").

The nurse-trainees needed to read the 'this patient is allergic to:' notes a LOT better. And the first-year intern on OB rotation (whom the delivery nurse threw out of our room and hopefully back to where he came from AIFG) needed to ask permission more, because if I hadn't been in labor, I would have sporked him.

In otherwords: Nurses, you ROCK. We see you & you are the reason we're still here, with all of our fingers and toes. We sent the nursing staff a card on Iris' first birthday, with full intentions to keep that up until she was 18. But, it turns out, I'm an ass with good intent & poor follow through.

My recovery nurses were...not great with the drugs. They were wonderful when they were around, but again, MAJOR overcrowding at this hospital meant they weren't always around. It frequently took hours for me to get my pain meds (and all I was on was ibuprofen - it's not like I was constantly ringing the bell for more morphine), which led to a few very painful days in the hospital.

I fully support this plan and wish to subscribe to its newsletter. Simmons is an awesome school! Also, you should move to Salem. Lower rents PLUS not being stuck in the suburbs.

In less awesome news, Tom's mom's social worker sent us an alarmed and pissy sounding email, informing us of the decline that we knew would happen, which is why we asked them to start the guardianship process months ago, but they didn't.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Can we substitute "someplace warm and sunny all the time" for "Boston"?

Nothing against the Bean-Town, just tired of snow and shit.
