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.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

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

Our wings are not tired.

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

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 ....

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

I took off work to take lunch to my SIL when she was in the hospital with her 1 year old, who'd been admitted (for nothing too serious - observation, and ended up with ear tubes). My brother was at work in Oxford and SIL couldn't leave the baby alone to go to a cafeteria or even a vending machine, and the hospital wasn't allowed to give her any food since she was not a patient.
So I totally would have brought you lunch today, or asked M. to, except it's 4pm and I hope you've had some by now.

OK, yet another reason to appreciate the hospital we usually go to -- you can totally get a "guest tray." And the food is pretty good.
