Craaaaamps. I know doing stuff would actually make me feel better, but it's so hard. To split the difference, I have swept and put in a load of laundry.

I just clicked on a pet adoption application -- just to see if I could find a price -- and they ask for my landlord's contact info. Hmmm. Two things: I don't know if that's the new owner (as of last week) or the management company, and also the management company's resident handbook says no pets. Granted, they definitely knew I had a cat before, but I'm a little nervous about someone calling them. Anyway, I'm not trying to move that fast, but still: [link]

Awww Joseph! There is a stuff I should be doing but the dog is happily chewing away on a bone in bob's sunny office so I am just lounging and hanging out with her. Sadly I left my coffee downstairs.

When we adopted Noodle, we had to provide landlord information. Because our landlord was known for allowing pets, that is all we had to do. If they weren't known, we would have had to show where, in our lease agreement, pets were allowed.

I wish I could sleep all day like the cats do.

I just wish my landlord officially allowed pets. I mean, they clearly allow them in real life, since the management guy was over here many times and I never heard anything about it.

The ER went so smoothly and well that I asked to see the attending just to say thank you. It was pretty perfect in every way, when you considered the whole thing can be such fuckery. Basically, everyone was on my side, no arguing nothing--all that happened negatively was no Benadryl in the last two doses, which leads to a lot more itching, but doesn't massively affect the main part of the painkilling, especially when the first two doses are about 40 minutes apart.

The resident that saw me was a young Latino guy, and he's the first young, short Latino doctor I've had. And this is LA, theoretically the largest one. The incidence of black doctors is below the local population average, but DAMN, No Latinos up in here.

I wonder if he has to deal with bullshit--people mixing him up with support staff, fuckery like that.

Jesse can you adopt using your mom's address?

ETA: cross posted with ita and I'm so glad to read about an actual "easy" E.R. visit for you!

That's great, ita! And good for you for thanking the attending. I'm sure they hardly ever get that.

Jesse can you adopt using your mom's address?

Huh. I'm sure I could -- that literally never occurred to me. Say I live there and she's my landlord?

I'm so glad you had an easy ER trip ita !. You were certainly overdue for one.

ita!, big loud cheers for an easy and successful ER visit! May it herald many more.
