I'm in the hospital after major surgery. My mother was with me when this happened. At around 9 PM my room went completely dark, not even emergency lights came on. My mom stuck her head out the door and confirmed the entire hospital was dark, not just our room, and every nurse she could see was in a full sprint, carrying an oxygen tank. They all appeared to be going to different locations. I stayed put and power came back roughly 8 minutes later. Once things were calm (no more running nurses) I went for a walk. I talked to the nurses and found out there was work being done on the electrical system. Planned work. I suspected and got confirmation that they'd been working all day. Did anyone tell them this would be happening and give them a chance to prepare? NO. I'm so mad FOR them. I'm very fortunate to not be actively dependent on machines keeping me alive, but not everyone here can say that. It's a hospital for crying out loud!!

I'm in the hospital with my parents tonight. They were T-boned by a red light runner and their car rolled and then caught fire. They're both receiving care in different departments, but seem to be doing well enough considering the gravity of the accident. (We're at a trauma center.) When my mother was being wheeled to another room through the busy halls the nurse let people know he was coming by calling: "Whoop! Whoop!" and a chorus of other nurses would respond back: "Whoop! Whoop!" as they moved out if the way.

It made me smile during this difficult time. Unity, support, family and kneecaping bitches, y'all.

My birthday is this week and I've been toying with the idea of doing something BaB related because I've gotten REALLY into them this year. Problem is, none of my friends are really into plushies. I have a few that would do it for my sake, but not be into it otherwise.

The "pay your age" thing doesn't really mean anything when you're over 30.

I've been thinking it isn't really worth it, which has me a little down.

What do you guys think?

Personally, I like the lobster slush, but I know there's a lot of people holding out hope for the second release of the Total Catch Lobster in his original form. I thought of this almost immediately and it made me laugh so hard I had to make and share it.
