5150 isn't necessarily violent: it can be someone who needs to be committed for their own safety, like someone who is suicidal. It's not good, but it's not always quite that bad.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Although I think, given our neighborhood (a few blocks from Haight Street and the park), our ER probably gets a disproportionate share of the scary ones. Even without the violence, they're still emotionally rough (worst by far, obviously, for the patient, but hard on everyone).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know everyone has been waiting with bated breath, so I can report that the non-Bogs boots worked out quite well this morning! Although I wasn't actually walking through much snow, they were plenty warm and comfortable to walk a mile and a half in.

Horrible triple murder in Chapel Hill last night. Three Muslim students were gunned down in their apartment complex in what appears to be a hideous hate crime.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay boots!
I chose waking up and chili omelette. For values of "choose" that include waking up at 4:30 and reading the last chapter of The Magician King instead of going back to sleep. Working out ok for me so far.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw that on the news this morning, amyth. Just terrible.

This doesn't in any way equate, but the Little League drama this morning is also really depressing.

Oh no amyth. That must be what they were talking about on the radio - I only heard a snippet about the victims. Man.

Morning, all.
Meds put me to sleep last night about about 11 pm, right after a hot shower that helped immensely.
Got up at 6am, and the pain is still about a 6 1/2. But I can move around a bit more easily, as long as I don't make sudden movements.
So today, I will be working on the computer with a pillow at my hips, and hopefully, the neds won't render me too stupid to edit this MS I'm working on.

So hard to get out even a few minutes earlier than usual, but I have an 8 am meeting, so I'm catching an earlier bus. Better be on time!
