Called In

About the time I had actually relaxed all my muscles and started to drift off to sleep, my beeper went off. I’m just getting back now.
A young couple delivered a 23-week baby and wanted her baptized. She lived for about ten minutes after birth.
They’ve known for a couple of weeks that she wasn’t going to [...]

In the zone

We’re at hour 12 of my first 24 hour on-call. So far, so….hehehe. You can’t get me to jinx it that easily!
I think I’m getting past this surly can’t-you-see-how-effing-busy-I-am-why-don’t-you-give-a-damn stage and moving into the zen of it. the zone. Maybe it’s what Wil Wheaton calls the “weird place.” Could there be a “weird place” for [...]

Hadn’t everyone thought this already?

This guy’s theory isn’t so new to me. I’ve thought it for years.

Why Bush Can’t Talk: It’s not the drugs, and it’s not senility.

It’s just never enough

No matter how hard I work, how many 18 hour days in a row I endure, no matter how much actually gets accomplished compared to the average TV watching, couch riding, six-pack swilling American:
IT IS JUST NEVER ENOUGH
No matter how many times I am told:
“take care of yourself,”
“you deserve time everyday”
or
“you can’t give what you [...]

Thank goodness there’s not a wick in the middle

Hooray for Plumbers!

The new toilet is in! The new toilet is in!
Plumber Man arrived on time this morning with he shirt tucked in, his fancy water suctioning thingy and a shiny new wax seal (an important part of a toilet installation.)
Within an hour and half he had the old one out and in the alley and the [...]

Explain it to me again

I don’t get it. We are moments away. Inches. Mere jots of a pen away from this whole divorce thing being over and final and able to MOVE ON. Without having to go to court and incurring grand fees and costs.
I’m taking over almost all the debt because it got rolled into a home-equity line [...]

“Whatever you eat, ends up in the toilet.”

That’s a paraphrase of Jesus’. Honest! I’ll look it up if you don’t believe me!

Let’s talk about boys, ok?

So, last night I had very strange dreams, induced I’m sure from “The Killer Cramps.”
Scene 1: big party at a “country house” with lots of friends and people I knew from various parts of my life. High School Flame was there, mother, sister, odd people from different odd places of employment, Hollywood celebrities…You know, the [...]

13 begins

DS2 had his party last night. He invited 2 friends over for an over-night of X-Box and movies. Apparently, while they were talking about it, “some of the girls” overheard. He paged me at the hospital around 4:30 yesterday. When I called, he told me that the girls had invited themselves over for the party.
Me: [...]
