Before I head off to class - a few notable moments from clinic yesterday....

• "Make way for my vagina!" from a running tech
  
• I received a free lunch for catching a bird that had somehow got into the department. It was weird because people were totally afraid of this little bird while it was happening (except for Jeff who got a sheet to try to catch it as well) but totally jaded about it after the fact.
  
• I got irradiated accidentally (barely anything due to where I was when it happened) and the come back from the button pusher was "come one, you're not going to have children" which cracked me up. It was a small dose and a total accident but pretty funny.
  
• One of the techs suddenly thinks my name is "George".

Mr Bear has a bad case of bronchitis (after finally going to the doc yesterday) and is on mad medication. I think this is the first time he's been out sick from work for more than one day since I met him. He already seems a little better, but had to go to court this morning for a ticket (a la Mr Reyes ;-P)..

I'm still tirred and achey with my allergies adding to the sneezing, scratching fun. Man, I wish I had health insurance and a prescription plan....anyway, I'm off to class.

Oh yeah, I'm trying to get back on a schedule of sorts for house chores and stuff. This semester I've been all over the map and not really keeping up with stuff. Wish me luck.

The Ladies of Tutty Circle

That's what we usually call the dogs and the cat en mass. Or "your daughters" is there's been collective/perpetrator unknown misbehavior.

Today all three of them are weirdly clingy and constantly underfoot. Mr Bear actually went to work after he went to court so they've been all about me while I've been home between classes. Usually it's endearing but having three sets of eyes on you at all times is sort of creeping me out today. It's like the beginning of a bad horror movie.

I really don't want to go to class tonight which is probably why I'm puttering on line 10 minutes after I would normally have left for campus.

There are a few things bouncing in my head I want to write about when I have a chance and they're more coherent.

Things I Am Grateful For
Listening to my heart as well as my head (as rare as it is)

"Cargo" shut down. Does that pink slip make you look gay?
A little breathing room, grade wise
Mr Bear is OK (I "lost" him earlier and was worried)
My car, it still makes me smile
