I feel good about the fact that I've spent the last hour alternating between looking up corn and zucchini chowder recipes and rampaging through a work queue and massively unfucking it.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hi! Remember me? I'm the girl that hit three ERs in two days because her neck shoulder was making noise. And guess what? They no longer give IV benadryl at 2/3 of the places (the other was a 20 minute drip), and they only give dilaudid IM.
I left a rambling message with my pain doc, and they called me back this morning--apparently surprised that no scans were done, etc. They can get me in two days before what I had scheduled, which is good, and since this weekend is IV weekend (I get at home what hospitals will not give--one doctor didn't want to give me dilaudid because if I needed benadryl to stop the itching, I was allergic, and he didn't want to give me something I was allergic to--DUDE, IT WORKS).
So I'm being quiet today and reading my big bang story (I don't know if I picked a great one to illustrate, but it's definitely one I'm enjoying reading. Enemies to lovers, a cliche I love, is being handled very well.
As far as being given pain meds for home, I have flexoril. Yay? I am spending as much time as possible sitting up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Trinity College! I loved Dublin, Sheryl, did you get to see the Book of Kells? It was on display when we were there. Amazing. But that library! Heaven.
Maybe I need to start going to cons again. I kinda miss that.
It's 80 and extremely humid here in western Virginia. This is weather to sit around and not move and sip mint juleps in. Or in my case, to eat Chinese food delivery. I was thinking of going to Michael's later but I can't breathe in swampwater air, so I'll stay inside.
ita and the continuing saga of unhelpful doctors! I so wish it could be better for you.

So, we made an offer, and I kind of expected it to be rejected, and it wasn't. So now we're under contract on a house. Yoicks.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ugh, yeah, I need to go take a walk (I walk the dog early, because he's old and I figure he needs a break on the heat; also, because he's old, it's just a slooooow 10-minute walk, so I need to take a more vigorous walk later), and it's kind of swampy out there. Yuck.

Yay! I actually have to go to the CVS in Clifton today. I feel like driving by the house and cheering!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Scary but exciting, Flea!
