I hate the doctors here who aren't my doctor. They lack empathy. I don't care how brilliant the exercise is, I can't hold that position without climbing two pain points. Why are you still talking?

But one of the fellows or whatever always sees you before the main man. So I get roughed up.

Typo, these aren't the people who write the script I have a hard time getting my hands on. Thank dog.

Nice, Jilli!

Ended up conking out with Devi on my lap and Lokes on the shoulder.

It's been almost 5 hours since the last shot and I've still got a huge numbpatch. Lip is pins and needles, so I could drink my dinner shake (soymilk, froz bananas, handful of spinach and chocolate syrup) but I'm not up to chewing, since the inside of my lip is still numb.

I hate gum scabs. Can't wait until they are no longer recoiled in horror and everything is back to normal (my damned teeth actually shifted while waiting for the crowns, so that was interesting.) I'm afraid of the toothbrush tonight.

Way to go, Jilli! You look awesome.

Ugh. ita, that sucks. I like the fellows we deal with but then I don't want to see the main doc which then irritates when the main doc has to come in and check their work.

My first class today had 104 students enrolled which made me flip out until the class stared and only 36 or 39 showed up. Whew.

I still can't access the online attendance and therefore didn't take it today.

Well I hope no other NYCistas commute over the B/Q line - cable fire on the Manhattan bridge shut down service for 4 hours tonight.

Fortunately I was already taking the F home (and leaving early) so I could go to the post office, but since everything was rerouted over the F line it was slow as hell and leaving 20 minutes early meant getting home 30 minutes late.

Then my neighbor called in a panic at 7 because she had JUST managed to get to an above-ground station with cell service, trains were completely stopped, and she needed someone to pick her kids up from daycare.

Piled my kids into the car, booked it over there, got hers, squeezed them in-between mine in the backseat (no carseats but hey, we all lived). Got all four kids home, realized it was my neighbor's turn to get the CSA tonight and obviously that wasn't happening, so left the kids with DH, got back in the car, got the veggies, and now I think I won't move again tonight if that's ok.

Jilli, I like CNN piece. You look, as ever, wonderful.

Very cool, Jilli!

Work and other things have kept me away from karate for a couple of week. I was back today and I couldn't remember the stuff I learned within the last couple of months, but remembered a weapon's form I learned about 3 years ago. The brain is a scary place.

Kids in restaurants is always a challange. I remember taking walks outside the restaurant either to avoid a meltdown or to have "a talk". I think with each of them it took one time of sitting in the car while everyone else ate and they figured things out pretty quick.

You're a great neighbor to have, Jess! And you totally earned yourself a sit.

104? Jesus.

Jessica , what a hellish evening, but now it is done and you can relax. I am trying to figure out what to do with the 50 students enrolled in my AP lit class tomorrow.

The 104 ninth graders enrolled freaked me out. I wouldn't have enough desks, nor syllabi nor anything. But they didn't all show. Thank god.
