I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

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.

information libertarian

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Also you're a nice friend, flea.

In fun news, I just got Hall and Oates tickets for an outdoor venue on a Saturday in August, which will either be the most amazing thing or a really bad idea.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So we occasionally get patient samples drawn on the weekend. All of us in the lab have to choose a weekend day to come in if there are samples expected. I chose tomorrow, and there are indeed samples from one patient being drawn. I was told I could come in when the last sample was drawn and process all time points together. The last time point is supposed to be drawn around 5 pm. Sigh...

Well ... to try to be upbeat, at least it's not 5 am .... (signed, Not a Morning Person)

Oy, Sheryl.

That's gonna be great, Jesse! I have no knowledge of your local typical August weather, but other than that, awesome! Is that with Squeeze?
