I wish I could just take today off and crawl into a cave. I don't want to go home until I have to. I'm hoping when they check on the blowers today, they will discover that the walls are already dry enough. They said 48 hours though....which just makes me want to cry.

My hair is WILD right now. It's what happens when you go back to bed during the day with a cat who likes to sleep on it. Pumpkin wraps herself around my head and tugs out hanks to rest her face on, and wrap her paws.

Wow, that sounds so cute!

Probably sounds less cute to you, though.

When I was in college, I once woke up with the feeling I couldn't breathe. Turns out my roommate's 20 lb longhair cat was sleeping on my face.

sarameg - that does sound cute and yet uncomfortable. . . at least Pumpkin isn't eating your hair.

She's so small (and gentle about it) it's not uncomfortable. Nothing like Loki's assaults on my hair post-aveda product.

I miss my Koogie cat napping and drooling and kneading in my hair. I gave a lot of breaks to that old lich-cat.

Ooh, Giant Squid!

Did she give you any sense of the workability of a home nurse and the treatment you need?

No, she was (wisely) unwilling to make any sort of commitment, even vague. She did say that they are limited to "dose, evaluate, maybe dose, evaluate." With two well-timed doses, and effective Botox, I'd be optimistic, honestly. I just wish I knew who was in the room when these discussions happened--she's from my GP's office! As in, neither of my specialists. They're all under UCLA, so it's not entirely random, but it's hard to work out why the ER went to *him* when he's the only guy who hasn't weighed in on the topic.

Or maybe I just explained it.

I am avoiding my email because...developers.

It cannot be unreasonable to expect .NET developers to know HTML and CSS, right? Or English? We were trying to discuss a solution with one, and apparently .NET wouldn't let her put anything else in the table she was working on. So the business asked her to put the "else" in a div, and they'd lay it over the table with CSS so it looked like it was in it.

She had no idea you could do layers in CSS. Even after she stopped resisting, there was dumbfound on her face.

Other developer replied "Yes, the site has a static IP address" when I asked her if the web site in question was static or dynamic, and that's the email I'm avoiding reading, the one where I told her I meant is the content static or dynamic, because, yeah, all our servers have static IP addresses. It's amazing how some people can turn "of course I don't know that" into condescension.

Betty White! Very cool.

Now I wonder if my grandmother still has her stoles with the faces! Knowing her, she probably gave them to the homeless shelter, along with her Ferragamo shoes.

I am ridiculously fond of antique stoles with faces. They creep Pete out to no end, but I think they're kind of cute. Of course, I always want to do impromptue puppet shows with them.

My only recent experience with home health nurses were the ones through hospice (TOTALLY DIFFERENT SITUATION, not trying to equate at all). Those nurses had DRUGS. And no problem administering. Or leaving them for me to administer. The street value of what I had in my house....damn.

Starbucks is wearing on my nerves, but I don't want to go home. The only other local places are other food/coffee joints and they limit your useage to an hour. If I really go nuts, I could go to the library. Or, gassspppppp, into the office. I should have brought my Ativan with me.
