Feel free to call any time.

Good of the day...I held a bearded dragon at work.

The bad is that it's sick.

But I held it, and then a meal worm and then tried to help feed the worm to the beardy. He spit it out.

Also found out someone thought I was inot my late 20s. I'm torn between...cool...and also now they will think I'm immature.

The other bad...checked email and discovered my replacement phone was returned as Undeliverable. I assumed it would be and I should have given them my brother's address. I emailed the Verizon rep I've been working with and maybe I'll get my replacement phone before Jan.

All kinds of love and good wishes to you, Tom. It is amazing and wonderful to me that you have held on to so much compassion and empathy in the face of what you've been through.

(And Trudy and others probably said it better, but I'll add my voice to the chorus: You're a lovely human being, and I'm very glad you're here.)

Steph, goddamn. I'm so sorry.

I sat down and now I don't want to get up again. Must get up and shower and do all the things. So many things.

Went to doc for 2 week follow up visit. Thought I was feeling better. Walked in with a 102° fever. Doc was concerned by 6 weeks of not getting better. Thought I may be dehydrated, despite all the water I've been drinking. So she sent me to hospital for faster lab work and IV drip. Admitting doc confused by 6 weeks of reoccurring fevers; and wants infectious disease docs to take a look. They aren't available until the morning. So I'm struck in observation section until morning. I think I'm fine. Docs are concerned cause heart rate was high. Was 120 with the fever. Now that the fever is passed, down to 98bpm.

In the mean time. I'm bored. Waiting for IV bag to finish. Watching football. And wondering who choose such an ugly uniform color for Seattle to wear.

Oh. And I didn't bring a charger for my phone. Fun times. I'm ok. No worries. Just bored and annoyed

Ack! I bet if you ask the nurses someone will have a compatible charger. Is there at least wifi? Tasty popsicles?

I hope they find something easily fixable, Omnis, and soon.

Good luck with the things, smonster! Say, smonster, will you be coming up our way over the holidays? Often our paths don't cross when you do because of my own holiday travel, but (weather permitting) I should be back from family stuff late on the 27th.

I hope the bearded dragon gets better soon, askye. I've never touched one, but they look so nifty.

Hugs to those who like them, thumbs up and "you've got this" to those who'd prefer it.

Much love to all the Bitches.

The last day in 2016 that I have to be at work at 4:30 a.m. has come and gone. Woo! It always takes me at least a day to recover from those. I think I'm mostly aware of what's going on around me, today. Mostly.

I hope they fix you up quick, Omnis. Apparently missing something. I hope you found a charger so you can spend some time here while bored.

And wondering who choose such an ugly uniform color for Seattle to wear.

The family actually called me in from reading in the other room to show me the uniforms. It was a night game and they wanted to be able to see each other if the lights went out.

I am apparently the worst when it comes to present ideas. Totally stuck on my sister because she has no hobbies or interests or anything. Also stuck on my step-dad because like most adults if he wants something he gets it. Also my kids are harder now.
