And my was xposted with Strix and ita ! medical updates . So I hope ita ! gets the nerve block soon and that it helps as much as you think it will. And I'm glad you got the meds you needed almost in the way you needed them. I hope the meds continue to work for you, Strix until you do not need them.

can you OD on tums?

It's quite difficult. I actually looked it up when the words "brain cancer" were used in proximity with my Dad.

So "Garson" got pronounced "Garfield" "Gary" "Garth" - 90% of people upon hearing my name could not get it right.

My brother Geoff sympathizes. Or rather, Garth, Goff, Goaf, Ghee-off, Gee-off, and/or Grof does.

ita, push matters so much better than with a saline bolus because of the time it takes? For Grace, being fed via bolus it has to be pushed because one cannot water her food down enough to flow via gravity and still maintain calories.

Blargh. I wish neither of us had a need to know this stuff.

I forgot to take Noah to school. I sat in a meeting with my principal where I was ruder than I should have been but adamant that a half-baked idea makes a crappy tasting cake.

Then I came home and packed up 80% of the clothes in my closet and most of my shoes. Blargh.

I need summer vacation to commence post haste.

Blargh. I wish neither of us had a need to know this stuff.

Seconded.

Does a kidney stone count?

I wish I had a summer vacation. Ooh. Of course, mine would lack moving and twins, so it's rather less needed.

I decided that mooning over the girl I met Friday (who I last saw back in January and have been vaguely hoping to run into since) is not productive (especially if it will be 6 more months before I see her again). So I emailed several people on OKCupid. Two who I'm not really thinking are interesting (but who emailed me, so) and a couple who I'm hoping write back and are cute in person (ok, one I know is cuter in person, I've seen her around). On! And there's this woman I've eyed a few times at this event. She's hot. And I met her Friday also, and loved her hair, but was disappointed that up close and in conversation not nearly as hot as I'd thought. Then I saw her Satirday....only it turns out its two different women who look very alike and have the exact same haircut! And the one I DIDN'T meet is actually still very hot. Can't decide if that's good (she's hot!) or bad (I still don't know her!)

CJ learned the downside of his summer pool job. If a kid poops in the pool, it is shut down for 24 hours. This happened about an hour before the end of his shift today.

I had a student who was a Balasubramanian

BAH-lah-sue-BRA-man-yan? I'm actually working with an author named that and I'd like to say it right!

ita !, I'm glad the hospital is treating you better.

Strix, healing ~ma to your bionic hand! Which is better than evil hand.

Does a kidney stone count?

ALWAYS.

Today is the day before travel, so of course I am a bundle of jangly nerves. I like traveling, I hate preparing for travel.

I answer to anyone looking at a piece of paper and making K sounds.
