Well I got the car back today and even though I declined the pressure sensor fix, the blinky light is off anyway! Either rotating the tires tricked the sensors into working again, or the guy just turned them all off for free.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nice.
Is it weird that the word "beige" always makes me think of Angel's aura?

Holy hell, mom fell down the stairs, put a hole in the sheetrock with her head, took an ambulance to the hospital. On my way there now…
Dad called me as soon as he was in the waiting room with some time, good job Dad!

At er, they are taking good care of her. X-rays all good except wrist, which is in pieces. Splinted up, more x-rays, probably staying overnight to watch for concussion symptoms. She’s alert and in pretty good spirits so far

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fucking stairs, man! You have to treat them like a jungle predator that wants to kill you.
Everyone hold on to the freakin' bannister! Do not go down stairs with both arms full of packages!
Do not take them for granted. Treat them like a rope bridge in an Indiana Jones movie. Perilous!
