Different views on an ordinary life.
Well we did it. It actually ended up to be the perfect day. Six kids, us, and Ann the out of control officiant. In the last post I was suffering from her flowery and barfy ceremony language. I edited it aggressively and sent it back with an email saying, “Nice ceremony, not for us though….
Oh for the love of god. I am incensed, aerated, and possibly even wrathful. The problem: I engaged the services of a non-denominational hippy to marry us in about September or so and had quite a few conversations with her regarding the wedding ceremony/vows. I feel that it is fair to say that I do…
Crap. So apparently I’m getting married in a very short time, like maybe eleven days from now, and I have executed no planning at all. Well we did go to the courthouse to get the license but that is all of the foresight we’ve had. What am I going to wear? The kids? Crap. The…
So one interesting thing about me, and by interesting I mean run away, is that I have strange urges that are fairly irrational and from my point of view, very hard not to act upon. They kind of go hand in hand with my bucket list, which doesn’t have all that many items on it…
So recently I was at Dick’s Sporting Goods store, a place that I hold responsible for the time I said “I love Dick’s!” with my kids in the car (new store, I was enthused. So I said that. I regretted it instantly and deeply.). I was looking for a swimsuit. That’s not important right now,…
Well this has been an interesting week. Much to my apathy, I was called for jury duty in September, which I deferred due to a pilot program being launched in the ER by yours truly. On Monday, my deferred date as a reserve juror, I was not only placed in the jury pool for a…
So it turns out that I am now Head of Mathletics for smarty pants kids at my son’s school. I met with his teacher, investigatively, and as we talked about young sir and his stress and anxiety due to her (that was my Call the Midwife language), my additional concerns about math and lack of challenge…
So Mercury is in retrograde, plus Venus is in the fifth house, and there’s a blood moon spewing its lunar crazy all over the world. Though it may be scientifically not totally proven, this makes the emergency department full of bat shit crazy, as evidenced by my glorious shift on Wednesday night. I went from…
My younger son’s teacher is a questionable quantity so far this year. My son, who is generally well-liked by peers and teachers, is coming home stressed and upset by his asshole of a teacher. We have been talking a lot about not being able to choose all of the people in your life, and making…
I’m so over this tuberculosis/lung aneurysm. Yet it persists. I actually found myself jealous of my patients today, primarily the ones receiving breathing treatments. That’s usually a cue to maybe go treat yourself. I’m on it, don’t worry. Got some Reiki going AS WE SPEAK. Well, as I write. Whatever. <——-So not how I feel….
