I obviously needed more songs in my math.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'd trade a day full of fuckcakes for having to call 911 for a resident. Stroke-like symptoms - dizziness, collapsed on floor before I could help her to her bed, few moments of blank eyes, then her speech slurred while one arm seemed to lift stiffly without her control. By the time she hit the floor, I knew I would be calling 911. It seemed like an eternity, but I'm sure it was a matter of seconds between the blank look and when I got to the phone.
Her housemates were terribly upset at her being taken away by ambulance, but I was greatly heartened that her speech returned to its usual before the paramedics arrived.
She's enough better they did not admit her, and she is coming home for the night.
Mondo paperwork. And I feel like I've been kicked by a mule.
Except when I feel like I've been run over by a freight train.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, WS! What a difficult thing to go through.

Oh goodness, WS, that sounds awful! I hope for the resident's sake it was nothing big...like the time my grandmother passed out and started talking nonsense at Christmas Dinner. We had to call 911, but by the time they got there, she was fine. It was bizarre.
Am in Indy. Have to be somewhere ass early in the morning. Gah.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's funny, I still have the reflexive twitch about sleep training, but DAMN, I wish we'd tried it out.
Thing is, so do I! But the emotional balance of the household has finally tipped to where we both hate the idea of sleep training less than we hate the idea of a possibly infinite number of more sleepless nights in that fucking rocking chair.
They slept with me until they wanted their own space. I made a couple feeble attempts at keeping them in their room, but they were miserable and I was miserable.
Heh - we were the reverse. We made a couple feeble attempts at cosleeping before admitting (with some relief) that we are ALL happier sleeping in our own space, baby included.
WS, how scary!
(And now it's after 2 and Waking #1 seems to have finally ended, so I'm going to sleep myself.)

ION. Just finished watching Animatrix. Pretty cool.

Trust my rage
I am glad D went back to sleep. I wish I was asleep myself. I should get up and shower but there is a baby snuggled against me.

Mostly lurking...
I hope he slept the rest of the night, Jessica. Sounds like otherwise, though, it was a pretty successful night. Hang in there.
Edited to delete minor freak-out. No use getting all worked up about it until I actually know there is something to get worked up about.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, conversation with a work higher-up over dinner:
Him: So what did you study at Uni?
Me: Huh. Law, Ancient History, Latin, Biblical Literature, Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Actuarial Studies, Accounting, and Philosophy. Oh, and the CFA.
Him: Have you ever felt that maybe you should try to become more well-rounded?
Me: Fair enough. Maybe I should learn a foreign language.
