I went over to my uncle's house for holiday dinner and fireworks, got back to my apartment complex half an hour ago and discovered that one of the trash dumpsters was on fire. Not sure if it was started by someone lighting fireworks in the dumpster itself, or not making sure everything was extinguished before throwing out their trash. Either way, they were idiots. Fortunately the fire remained contained by the dumpster and didn't spread to the nearby wooden enclosure, apartment building, or parked cars before it was put out.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, right! Happy "You're not the Boss of Me" Day, Americans!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I really need to move somewhere where I already know people. Because, as my four years here in PA have proven fairly well, I really suck at making new friends.
Me too. I've been here five years and have made one friend. Maybe I could have made others, but I suck at follow-up from friendly casual conversations.
Although maybe they should add that to the ad copy: safe room, protects people from tornadoes and dogs from fireworks.
They really should add that to ad copy! It's a selling point.
Gah. I went to bed at a reasonable hour, and now I'm wide awake at 3am anyway. And my head still hurts. I hope this is not a side effect of the Buspar.

YNo fireworks for us tonight. Instead Grace had a terrible breathing incident which ended up with paramedics, firemen, a sheriff and an ambulance ride to a hospital in Idaho Falls. I thought she might die and now she is laughing and cracking jokes. So I guess our trip across the country will be called off.

Oh no, Kat! I'm glad she's okay.

I don't know that she's okay so much as I think the Atavan worked. She is asleep now, struggling to get her thumb sucked through her oxygen mask.

The on call pediatricin didn't call back for about 3 hours. They can't put her in the PICU and the pedes floor is closed. So I have to wait for another 2 nurses to be called in and to arrive before they will transfer her to a room. Then they will open the pedes floor just for her.
I really wish we hadn't come to Idaho.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Kat!

Oh Kat, I'm sorry.
My everything hurts. Shocking no one. Ok, market.
