We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I would give someone $500 to fucking bring me lunch.

Our wings are not tired.

Non-intrusive hugs... I swear delivery is the best thing ever. I was just sitting down to order my groceries.

I would give someone $1,000 to bring me a sandwich on gluten free bread. How the fuck does the hospital cafeteria not have gluten free bread? They have a big sign saying the Boars Head deli meats are gluten free, but what fucking good does that do me if you don't have gluten free bread to serve it on?!?!? I don't want a handful of turkey.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ugh, Steph, I'm sorry. Could you get GrubHub or something to deliver?

And separately, my latest exchange with the contract client.

Me: sends document to client for review, mentioning a thousand times that it's a draft and that the graphics aren't final.

Client: sends me a couple of technical changes

Me: sends another draft

Client: silence

Me: Hey, how's that latest draft?

Client: Oh, we made some changes and added things and put in the header and footer so it's totally done here's a PDF.

Me: ...remember how I was going to tweak those graphics? Also, one of your new sentences is missing a period? And now a set of steps reads 1, 4, 5? This is why you pay me?

Can they deliver to hospitals? I literally don't want to walk down to the lobby to meet the driver. I'm mostly whining because I am not a graciously self-sacrificing wife. I hate this shit. It sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everyone hates that shit, Steph. Because it does suck! A nurse or anyone can tell you if someone can deliver to the room.

This. It happens, but is likely a hospital floor level policy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Could they deliver to the nurses' desk? and do you have the energy to walk that far? I know how sometimes you're down to the last dregs of your energy and that might seem to be too far ....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We had delivery to the maternity ward when I had ltc. So, I don't see why not.
