Oh man -- I just talked to my cousin, and my grandmother is in the hospital! This is the non-local side of my family, who I am not in good contact with. So I'm glad she reached out to me, and now she'll keep me in the loop. So that's good.

I have to say, yay for Facebook, because now I have that connection with that cousin.

Oh no, Jesse. Does your grandmother live far away?

She's in California, along with her other son and one of his daughters (and the rest of each of their families). So the cousin who is there is going over to the hospital, and will text her sister (who I just talked to), who will forward the texts to me! Yay technology.

Yay indeed!

Well the Sudafed knocked me out for almost 3 hours. Not really sure if it was the drug itself or if my body finally got a bit of relief between that and the antibiotic and was able to shut down.

Java - sending health~ma to the pup. And calm~ma to you.

Jesse - hope your Grandma is ok and yay for reconnecting with cousins.

Msbelle, I'm glad you got it pinned down. I hope you can get it resolved.

There are posts in the Procedurals thread and I'm stuck watching Vampire Diaries and doing laundry until Criminal Minds starts on the left coast. Vampire Diaries. Oy.

tragic comic relief, courtesy of someone I went to highschool with:

Freaking Obama Zombie Progressive Socialist Bleeding Heart Liberals want to be rich but not feel guilty about it....so support taxing everyone else to support the noncompliant, nonproductive individuals who rely more and more on the government...making them even weaker....What a sad sad plan...making people more dependent on our dysfunctional and corrupt government. Revolution is called for!

oh my, where to start. Revolution? really?

she's a nurse.

"thinkin about helth...ur doin it wrong."

Jesus, people. Go Galt already and stop polluting out Intertubes.

msbelle, glad you figured out the trigger but sorry for it as well

Suzi, feel better!

Thanks for all of the well wishes for the pup. She seems okay to tonight, so no ER. I will take her to the vet tomorrow. I spoke to Steve on the way home and it was short and snippy and when I hung up I just started bawling for no conceivable reason. It's been a long day, but I've had lots of those. Probably just the holidays and missing him and shit. I have so much to be thankful for and yet I can't stop tearing up at everything. You guys I couldn't stop crying during "Sing Off"!
