I'm wondering how many of us did a double take at the not-tiny comment.

I'm glad I was not the only one!

I just did a bunch of shopping on Amazon, but only for the easy people....

I wondered at the comment too.

caught that I was being given 1/3 of the dilaudid ordered

Is just wrong. Do they do that to you a lot? No wonder you don't feel better when you go to the ER

Many of the doctors and nurses don't believe I'm supposed to get as much as my specialist wants me to. So even when they order that much, sometimes they like to stagger the dosage. Which is remarkably counterproductive.

I have been having insanely long and complicated dreams this weekend. I wonder what my subconscious is up to. They have been very interesting though--the sort of dreams it's disappointing to wake up from because real life is so much more boring. Also, no headaches in them.

This just kills me. Why would someone who just met you think they know better than a long-term provider? I mean, seriously.

A friend of mine was telling me that her boyfriend will variously laugh and yell in his sleep, which I think is fascinating -- he has a lot going on inside!

I deliberately had a lazy morning. Now it's time to get dressed and finish the shopping.

However, I think I may have discovered a small leak in my basement. Of the finished side, of course. It's dry now, but there's evidence of water creeping up 2 of four legs of a bookshelf, and on a box that was sitting on the floor. The whole area not much more than a square foot. It's possible that it's overflow from the dehumidifier and that it's an older water stain than I think, but I am going to have to watch closely on rainy days.

I've been looking for soft carriers for my cat, since the hard plastic one I have is a hassle to carry any distance, and a vet here is going to be farther away than the one I went to in NYC, and I'm starting to think taking a cab to the vet would be cheaper. I mean, I don't take him that often, and the decent bags are at least $50.

Oh, this is cool. iGo, which is a non-profit version of Zipcar in Chicago (we have both) is now set up with the CTA so you can use one card for both. And they have a car about two blocks from me. Sweet. I never use my Zipcar membership because I don't carry the card with me every day, and the car closests to home is about 8 blocks or so - just enough to make it a PITA.

Buh-bye Zipcar.

Now that's genius.

I don't think there's a great deal of love lost between ER docs and many office time specialists.

At least one of my long intricate dreams was cast with actors. I only remember the last 2 before I woke up, and I wonder at Matt Damon's inclusion (I like, but don't lurve him), but it was great to have extra visuals of Tony Head, even if he'd been beaten all to crap. I vote for more dreams like that one, despite the violence. Or maybe kinda partially because of it.

Brilliance!

Dylan and I made playdough this morning. Easiest non-peanut butter recipe EVER, courtesy of a neighbor whose mom was a preschool teacher. That should take us through the afternoon, and then my sisters are coming over for latkes.
