I had shabu shabu for dinner!! LOVE. A friend was watching N so we could go to the hospital and see G (seriously) and she said, "go have dinner. somewhere where you can't take Noah." HA! boiling water? raw meat and veg you cook at your table? PERFECT.

G was mad today (they needed a urine sample, and I know how they get those.... I'd be mad too), but off her vent for most of the day, like normal. And the care facility had brought her food and her vent from there (which they've never done before). Neat?

So is G doing better, Kat?

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

Is she feeling better, Kat? And does she get to eat a lot these days?

She is fed a lot and eats nothing. I don't know if she's feeling better or not as she was SO VERY MAD about the catheter (do not blame her at all). She had blown one IV site in her hand, so she had a new one in her foot. If they have to go to her right hand, things are going to be Very Bad.

I haven't spoken to a doc at all so I have no idea what is going on, which is all par for the course. She's had a volunteer there every day to play with her and there are only 2 other kids in the PICU, with 2 nurses, 2 LVNs/CNAs, and one RT, so she is getting lots of attention.

Four men from upstate New York were arrested Wednesday night in what the authorities said was a plot to bomb two synagogues in the Bronx and shoot down military planes at Stewart Air National Guard base in Newburgh, N.Y.

The men were arrested around 9 p.m. after planting what they believed to be bombs in cars outside the Riverdale Temple and the nearby Riverdale Jewish Center, officials said. But the men did not know the bombs, provided by an informant with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were fake.

That's the synagogue my family went to when I was little.

7 quakes? That's creepy. Makes me think unhappy thoughts.

I think I should repress them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I keep feeling phantom quakes now. But none of the real ones.

Burrell, that was my reaction. It felt forced.
