Well, I'm finally registered from my spring semester class. With the weird schedule of it (meets one weekend a month in January, February, and March), I'll have to be sure to keep up on my reading.

When my boss gets back from lunch, I'm going to see if I can go home at 2:30. I'm too tired, PMSing all over the place, and just want to sleep.

I'm WFH and no one is responding to e-mails. Not like it would be a difference in the office since the folks I need are in Oakland, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, and Santa Ana, CA. People!

Also - anyone know where I hid my pink beads from myself. I just went through my stash and I can't find them. It is driving me nuts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was only 10-15 minutes "late," but still

My hysterectomy went much much longer than they thought it would. When I woke up in recovery, I had at least three different people come to tell me that my husband had to go home and walk the dogs and he would be right back. Then someone brought me a note that said the same thing. Poor guy literally told EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE HE SAW because he was so worried and made them all promise to tell me. Adorbs. Really, at that point all I was thinking was "ow."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I've told this story before, but my mom and my sis waited until my 6-hour jaw surgery was over. They talked to me in the recovery room and then left. But then I woke up later with no memory of seeing them, so I was mad that they left before I woke up from surgery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never had anyone come to my bedside right after surgery! Not even when I was a teenager living at home.

I'm not entirely sure what they were doing instead. Waking up after the foreign body removal from my foot was horrible and stressful and the nurses hated me because I kept paging them. No family showed up until the next morning.

Tommy - that reminds me of when I had Kelly. KCD, my mom, and my FIL were all at the hospital for the birth. After they oooohed and ahhhhed over the baby, they left to go to Denny's. I was awake for all of that, but I felt quite abandoned. Kel is 3 months away from 21 and I'm still tweaked.

Holy he'll. 3 year olds out of anesthesia are psychotically angry.

Now tagless for your comfort.

What for, Kat? Were there complications? Is Grace ok? I hope it's not serious.

Yeah, that's never fun. Both Owen and Liv came out of their dental surgery pissed off and confused. Not a good combination.
