Husband left for Houston this morning. Naturally, we were up until after midnight last night. I slept until 11, ate, and now I have 45 minutes until I need to get on a bus to make an hour-long trip to sing Messiah.
I want my weekend back.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Consuela, I am so glad you got to have a lazy morning in, and that you had a good kvetching session with a friend who can empathize.
The nurse is totally bossing the doctors around to get the pain management tasks she thinks are best ordered from now, so they don't have to hunt down a doctor when her current painkillers wear off
I like her.
Thankfully, she's my nurse too, and she bossed around my (relatively new--I don't remember his face) my doctor too. It was pretty amazing. She's one of the cool nurses, clearly, and as soon as she saw me when she came on shift she asked which of the three doses was I on?
Scratch that. I love this nurse madly. Go on with your bad self, nurse. Note to almost everyone else - it can be that bloody simple, you idiots. Patient has plan; follow plan. Boom.
That femur injury sounds completely hellish. As those in Bitches know, my bf dislocated and broke his ankle about a month playing rugby (can't remember if I mentioned here or not); I went to the ER with him, but they have a "one visitor at a time" policy so thankfully it was his brother with him when they popped it back in. D is one stoic and jokey mofo, but I'm pretty sure sounds were made we'd both rather I didn't hear at this juncture in our relationship.
people who are having a worse day than you.
I so can't bear watching people get hurt. Eesh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've seen her work at New Morning Gallery in Asheville and shops in Blowing Rock. They're not at all conventional, but I think figural menorahs are charming.
Several more art menorahs here. I love the Gary Rosenthal and Tamara Baskin ones.

Good for a lazy morning and a sympatico friend, Consuela. And really, really good for a very good nurse.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Competence!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There was an email that came over the campus parenting list-serv in North Carolina asking for mohel recommendations. A couple of hours later there was a very funny followup thanking everyone for the motel recommendations, but explaining what a mohel was.
Heh. When I was in middle school, I had to memorize a poem that started with "There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold." My mother overheard me reciting it and asked to see the poem, because she couldn't figure out what those men were doing.

Our wings are not tired.
Hooray for bossy nurses and dr's who listen to them!
Indeed!
I've been decorating all day and am way overheated. It seems to be way too much effort to get a suit on and jump in the pool. And yet it would cool me off.
Wow, that Walgreens is just lovely. Well done!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The bank vault was retained and now is a "Vitamin Vault"
There's an old bank that was a spa for a while and is now a salon and i guess they kept the vault through all that because I am told that now you get your hair washed in the vault. Haven't seen it for myself.
