Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I was at a different Kaiser facility than usually does my labs. I think of them as incompetent, but it seemed easier. When I went in, I said, "I mainly need the CBC," and she said, "What about the other labs your doctor ordered?" I said, "Okay, but I don't need the big chem panel. I had that last week." Guess what she didn't run? Now I have to go back out in the morning, and it will probably delay the transfusion I know I need.

So irritated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's terrible! Argh.

I was never impressed by the organizational skills of the cancer facilities. It always seemed they were working off a checklist of standard treatment and being baffled by the actual human in front of them.

God damn it, hockey. I have a lot of shit to do tomorrow and I was going to go to bed when you were done, but now we're in OT!

My brother is going to Egypt for work! Conference in Alexandria, but they're also arranging stuff for him in Cairo. I'm envious.

I'm envious of sarameg's brother, too!

My Wednesday has begun with its needle stuck on Monday.

I'm tired because the game last night went past 1AM in 3OT and I guess broke a record for the longest Blackhawks game in history?

I'm going to need a lot of coffee, you guys.

Hey. New board.

Did your team win at least?

Yes. I would be way more petulant about lack of sleep if we'd lost.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like the city should have gotten a delayed start this morning? Officially, I mean.
