Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was also my first no-lettuce day! After I remembered that my key to enjoying lettuce is lemon juice.

I think I'll braise it and put a poached egg on top and mop everything up with some dark rye bread.

Mmmm -- that's my favorite way to eat greens. Also I saute them in bacon fat, pre-egg.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

ETA:remember this when you see "All Vegetarian Diet" as that's really a not great thing.

I just don't want the chickens that are fed chicken. I've seen that episode of the X-Files.

I did know that! I need to find out what kind of image file they need. I have some ideas.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Sox!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh ita, that's just nuts.

I'm also taking a tip from my boss, and put tonight's salad into a pita. Different!

Because books.

Jesus, ita, that's absurd. You don't register a patient for a procedure with a "well, if we have extra time" attitude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And if multiple emergencies come up, tell the waiting patient that! "We didn't get to you" is way different from "multi-car pileup" or whatever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is AWESOME!

ita being kept waiting all day for a scheduled procedure is the opposite of awesome. I disapprove. Heartily.

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

I'm on hospital call until ten. WUNDERBAR.

They're "arranging some discharges" but they're not clear on if that will happen today or tomorrow.

The words they use to explain the situation really don't help much. Why do I want to be in hospital overnight if I'm not being treated until tomorrow? Because apparently you need to dibs the bed, but what was the point of scheduling an admission?

I didn't understand this when we were at the hospital with my father -- do they actually discharge people at night?
