I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

After the market, got a pedicure an hit Target. Swam, did laundry and shampooed the carpet.

Thinking of making the TJs run after MK's shot, to free up the morning to clean some of the crap out of my yard and sidewalk.

TRYING to schedule a time to get together with Taylor, but really having a terrible time of it. She likes to hang out with her fam on sundays, and really, those are the best day for me to make time.

I like the full quote:

Republican New York Senator Comes Out For Gay Marriage

"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing," McDonald, 64, told reporters. "You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing. "I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this."
