We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm pretty sure the situation will resolve itself in a couple of more months.

So am I. 2 more months ans there will be a baby, antidepressants, and milkshakes.

For what it is worth, I've heard several people assert that whether back office stuff is well taken care of is one of the key predictors of success or failure of a political movement. No peer reviewed research on this, just anecdata.

Yeah, word from some people I know is that the NC Dem's organization was a total fustercluck last cycle, and it totally showed in the results.

I know it's important, just not likely to be an exciting chapter in the memoirs--unless I really am the world's oldest intern, that is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Remember what a clusterfailure Romney's back office stuff turned out to be? Over and over?

Ok, dad gets an upgrade to "underperforming" as opposed to TOTAL FUCKO. So there's that. Still, we're probably not "getting together really soon."

Father's Day brunch was quite a success despite how last minute the clean up was. All of TCG's food was fantastic. I'm not sure he ever needs for me to cook again. Also, good is we have a reasonable amount of food to get us through the next few days without needing to do much.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'd expected that my body would be protesting today because of all the driving I've been doing the past few days. I didn't expect that the most painful joint, more so than my hips or knees or ankle, would be one of the joints in my finger. No idea why that's happening.

Things to do tomorrow: call doctor for more pain meds, call movers to get estimates, call Toyota to make appointment to find out why rain is inside my car.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've been going through pain meds like whoa without being free of pain. One drug I'm on causes what I think of as flashmob arthritis. I'll wake up one day and three fingers on one hand are swollen and painful. A couple days later that goes away and then in a week or so, it's a knee. Last weekend, it took out a knee to the point that I could barely get out of bed. That got better and on Tuesday it attacked my left elbow and won't let go. I had no idea that even sleeping involves the elbow.

Theoretically I'm supposed to change chemos, but it's been almost a month since my doctor told me that and I haven't heard more. He's the head of the department and moving to an office that's almost 30 miles away. I'm thinking of changing to an oncologist who might be more available. The nurse I work most closely with suggested it because of his move to the further office and said it would be perfectly okay. Then I'm back to reading all these resumes and trying to decide who's best. I'm leaning toward one who is, on the plus side, a woman and young, but, on the minus side, new to Kaiser and therefore not familiar with the Byzantine inner workings.

Also, the place where I stepped on the nail has started hurting again, and I don't know which doctor is the "the hole in my foot hurts" doctor.
