Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Back in ... 1969? ... Fritz Leiber wrote a book called "A Specter Is Haunting Texas" and the protagonist is from an orbiting habitat and, in order to function on Earth, wears an exoskeleton. First time I'd heard of such a thing ... and it sounds cool.

Make sure you keep people informed of where you are. Don't wander off to look at the babies on the birthing wing and go out of the range of the LoJack that's keeping track of your vitals. Staff do not like to try to explain to visitors that they've lost a patient--NO NOT LIKE THAT, we just don't know where he is.
Ask me how I know.

My Dad's M.O. from back in the day. (To be fair, he didn't actually realize there was a range limit, and he just wanted a newspaper and didn't want to bother anyone to bring him one, so he figured he'd just go to the lobby and buy one from the gift shop.)

Yeah, Hubby had that "Whuh?" look of male bafflement when he trundled back with his IV stand to find me chewing out freaked-out staff.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am not planning on wandering anywhere, except to the bathroom and back to prove I'm able to leave.

Very responsible, Dana.

OK, I think I got the front yard into a state that will not bring down the wrath of the fire danger abatement people while I am out of town. Although all my weeds were green and unlikely to burn easily, honestly.
I have approximately one billion more things to do before I leave tomorrow but I'm gonna take maybe an hour to lie under this ceiling fan and read because I am on vacation, dammit.

Kat! That is way too much stuff. Congratulations and good luck on the new job. I hope Kate gets stuff straightened out and I am glad you aren't going to be at that school anymore and that neither are Noah and Grace.
