New York is not fucking around - they are shutting down the subways! That's crazy. Schools are even closing up here, which seems like overkill, but I guess we'll see.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The governor of MA has already called a state of emergency, and that should mean that TCG should have the day off tomorrow because he works for a town. No word yet, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So....I just got a second dose. Not of everything, but of some things, and the full amount of it, so....And the doctor asked if it would take three to get it under control--not in a "So sorry--you're fucked!" way either.
My fingers are tightly crossed right now--I don't usually ask for ¬ma, but it can't hurt if some of you also want this to turn out right (and the meds actually work--this is going to need a big dent, but starting out better than last Monday is a step in the right direction).
The key to random is that sometimes it works in my favour too.
Pleasepleasepease. Keep resident and attending and nurses all on board with the same pro-me plan, which isn't the plan my doc said was in place, but WHO CARES?????
Mostly unrelatedly, dude next to me (room 3 again) has an infected bruise on his hip. Like, leaking pus bruising. He's going to get the whole thing (haematoma, not bruise, my bad) drained by a surgeon. That'll larn him and his fancy skateboard tricks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
HEY DOCTORS GIVE ITA HER DRUGS!
I spent all morning grocery shopping since my FreshDirect delivery got canceled (they canceled all deliveries this afternoon and all day tomorrow).
School and work are closed tomorrow. There will be no public transit of any kind.
If we don't lose power, we'll have plenty of food and DVDs. I'm charging my phone and iPad so I'll have something to entertain the kids with if the lights go out. Hopefully I bought enough bread if we have to eat PB&J for two days.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
HEY DOCTORS GIVE ITA HER DRUGS!
This.

Very much this. The ~ma is always there from me on Sunday whether or not I state it.
Work has officially been called off for TCG tomorrow!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My office will be open tomorrow, and I will be one of the only people there, because I live 5 blocks away.
