We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does anyone know how to clear a cache on the iPhone? I am still having trouble with the quotes.

I am glad to know that Quinn seemed crazy and then not to others. Also how do they have so many coaches and seemingly no music teacher?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Just saw a news report that 2.6 million people without power in Maryland, DC, Kentucky, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, and West Virginia.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

And I know the previous nurse who wouldn't tell me the footage was being cagey. Are you allowed to keep that info from an adult in charge of medical decisions? Good luck hoping for a placebo effect.

I know you don't have time or effort to fight this battle, but you can request the medical file from the hospital and they have to provide what is in there, except for the social worker and possibly psychologist, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The file requests happen at a 9-5 kind of office. I have their fax to fax the written request -- (310) 825-3356 but I can't remember where they are -- somewhere in the basement, by the pharmacy. They charged us $15.

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

Thanks, Kat. It's one of those visits where they keep saying "always" and "never", which seems to mean "according to the first two pages of your records". The attending did read it, and now I think we're waiting to hear from my migraine specialist. So sure he'll be replying any time now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so last week, I was in an apt complex office, and they had a sign over the agent's shoulder that said "perspective tenants."

That sign was bothering me, so after 5 minutes I told the person helping us: "Just fyi, but the sign should say 'prospective', not 'perspective.'" She replied, "oh really, I didn't know about that."

Ugh.

Beau laughed at me and said: "you should have known better than to point out that error. they weren't going to do anything about it."

but I couldn't help myself. the pre- pro- bug BOTHERS me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Bothers me, too. At least the Beaty Spa around the corner from here fixed their sign... eventually.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh dear. I think that sign would make me itch.

If you wait long enough you'll bump into rounds. And the doctor leading round expressed his regret that I'm not getting consistent care, but can't they just write down the dosage somewhere?

Once rounds are over, apparently I'll get the standard.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Just saw a news report that 2.6 million people without power in Maryland, DC, Kentucky, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, and West Virginia.

I have friends up in Dayton who lost power on Friday (June 29) who are being told they won't get power back until July 7. WTF, Dayton Power & LIght?!? (Or whoever the utility provider is.) We're going to be upper 90s all damn week. You have got to be kidding.

I keep feeling like Tim and I totally dodged a bullet.

Yeah, wouldn't it be a great idea if patients had some sort of file, call it a record, maybe, where their medical information was kept? Maybe I should call the hospital and suggest they start a system of these "medical records."

I'm starting to wonder if, in the doctors' lounge at ita's hospital, there's a sign above the door that says "Try not to fuck things up too badly, but don't beat yourself up if you do."
