Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We're still in the recovery unit. The man next door who must be at least 70 has toenails painted in alternating red and green. He's oddly amusing and says that even though his brain feels like it's on fire, he doesn't want pain meds.

The nurses are talking about the violence Grace rained upon the unit. "Did you see her kick and hit? She's only 3 but feisty. She's a sweet kid though." HA.

Eavesdropping is the best.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Will you?

When she's older and can handle the important responsibilities of taking care of a rubber chicken on her own.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Another important Matilda query, very plaintively stated, "Daddy, when I get older will you buy me a rubber chicken?"

I think you should get her one when she is approximately t counts on fingers two, three, four days older than now.

What is this? The rubber chicken lobby in action?

No. This is the give kids funny gifts lobby.

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

What is this? The rubber chicken lobby in action?

The fact that I have received gifts from Big Rubber Chicken has no bearing on my recommendation that you buy Matilda a rubber chicken. Or two.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Personally, I was sweetness and light after my surgeries.

Also, do not believe Juliana. SHE LIES.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

P-C in the seasonal one ice blocks will hang in the air unsupported.

Do they not do that in the regular one? Huh. I was playing the seasonal one a couple weeks ago, but I was playing the regular one before that and thought the ice blocks hung in the air then too.

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

OMG, I had the worst IV experience (well, the worst that ended in a successful IV and no maiming, I guess) last ER visit. I totally want to vent about it, but, ick IV. Safe to say, it hurt, and doctors aren't as deft as nurses and some nurses aren't as deft as other nurses, and never go into my neck twice, and you're right, I don't usually flinch. Jaysus.

But they got a line! They didn't resort to IM or subQ.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I cancelled mac's therapy today because he's having a playdate and I want him to enjoy the 70+ degree weather. His therapist is awesome and was all "I am sorry mac is not feeling well, of course we can cancel" They do not charge for same day cancellations because of illness, so she totally saved me. YAY!

I should clean the house some, maybe vacuum, but I just wanna play games.
