Yeah, it's true that people really do get lupus, Hec. The people I know with it are older than him, though...of course, writing House fanfiction is not like absorbing his diagnostic ability and they don't really show the long road back that people must face if they get weird shit like that. Yes, House would totally have team members slogging through the peacock pens! Thanks, all.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

Well, it will take a few days for the tests to come back.

Health ~ma for your brother, erika.
About 400 Sass flyers went up today and we're continuing the track tonight. This time, I think I'll get to stay home and the DH will do the hiking.

I'm home. Airline broke my suitcase. I'm tired and incredibly pissy, but I'm unpacked and I've picked up my CSA, and at least there's time for me to buy a new suitcase before I go to London.
At least I got to hang out with Perkins, -t, and Consuela last night!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay home! Boo Airline!
It was great to see you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They teased me about coming in to the ER a night early, and they called a cab for me instead of letting me do it myself. I OFFICIALLY do this too often.

I guess that beats them being suspicious of you.

Some days I get the good people. This morning I got the good people. I am *so* touched by them, it's not even funny. Today's second nurse was really pissed because it was the first time she hadn't gotten a line on me the first shot, and she broke her perfect record. But we're keeping that a secret. The doctors were patient and didn't treat me suspiciously. The last nurse--I have no idea why she decided to call me a cab, but she said she did it so I could wait for it in the hospital bed instead of in the waiting room. And she brought me juice and cookies.
You can really tell why some people get into caregiver careers--they're on empathy overdrive. But others? I don't get bitchy nurses. I really don't. Why go into that line of work if you don't dig helping people? At least bitchy doctors makes a little more sense, even though I don't have to like it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so glad you got the good people, ita. If I can't do anything to make the pain better, I'd make sure you always get the good people.
