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.

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.

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?

Jesse, that sounds awesome.

Sheryl, that sounds very frustrating. I'm sorry.

It is! It could be terribly hot and humid, but we'll just sit still, I guess?

I think we've hit the 8 month sleep regression. Gumball was up after 90 minutes, fell asleep on dad, then woke up upon being put into his crib. I'm currently trapped under the baby. Let's hope I don't run out of internet, and he considers the joys of sleep.
