Good luck, ita.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Punishingly Intricate
Wasn't the Swedish title of the first "The Man Who Hated Women?" It was the Dutch title anyway. A friend of mine (Flemish) ended up reading it in a cafe in Provincetown filled, for some reason, with German lesbians. He was afraid he was going to get his ass kicked!

Because books.
No TV in the hospital, ita? I hope it works, though, and it's easier to get through than you think.

Yes, exactly!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hope it works for you, ita, and isn't too terrible.
I got the awkwardest of the awkward Facebook messages today. My first real "boyfriend" was an asshole--lied, cheated, was an alcoholic and a drug dealer. He had apparently gotten his life together, married a nice girl and they had a couple of daughters. A couple of weeks ago, he got drunk, slapped, choked and pushed her in front of the kids (ages 8 and 4). He was arrested on domestic violence charges (and with his record of assult arrests, he's looking at jail time). His wife sent me a message asking my advice on what to do. Keep in mind, I don't have any contact with him and haven't this past 20 years. I told her, in short, take care of yourself and your kids and if you think it won't happen again, you're wrong. I hope she's smart enough to get out and stay out.

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

Oh! It's the new hospital! I forgot. They're all fancy with their flatscreen and shit. I may even get HBO. I just have this no TiVo==no TV knee jerk.
At least it's not over a Thursday!

This. And it working.
If it were the boutique hospital I'd even have a computer provided, but this place isn't all that. And I'm not sure it's safe to bring anything as valuable as my laptop.
Tentatively scheduled for the beginning of May. Fingers crossed for insurance and all that working out.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fingers crossed, indeed.
And, we have snow. Feh.
Wait, what!? I don't have snow. Maybe it's just at your altitude.

You know, I was just downstairs getting iced tea and I thought, "Oh no! I hope she doesn't miss an episode!"
Because I'm that weird, I guess, and I do have priorities. As do you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I really hope the K works, ita, and is not so bad as you think. (I'm also wondering if it will be like it was for Dr. House, but sometimes I'm callous and strange.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, good luck, ita. Do you want me to ask my druggie friend for any advice?
