the list

funny moments: (i think there have been more than this, but not sure) when after puking from the morphine, er doc comments "he must not be used to taking opiates"

collateral damage: nipple ring ball. i can't get it in, fine motor skills, and next to the arm that is in worst shape.

gross: i picked up someone else's nipple ring off the hospital floor and put it in his nipple until hours later, when i found his in my pocket (had to be taken off for x ray, will need to be taken off for mri)

today picked up a prescription for him with a 3.46 copay. let's not talk about what my non-generic drugs costs.

big changes/life disruptions afoot

in random order some catch up before the big issue.
just banged my thigh-ouch
can't get this stupid (thought it was awesome when i put it on) temp tattoo off, can't see it at all, it's just the sticky part so you can't see the pic, my arm just looks dirty.
nice bachelorette party for chill. only mild social anxiety.
tried on the dress from slip and slide buddy's wedding and it basically fit--woo hoo.
there are some vertical alignment issues with my browser and the the boxes you type into and the top of the page in general.
reading a david grossman book that i like pretty well. written during a general time of peace/quiet in israel.
other things? can't think of em.
but soon i am going to get to wipe a 36 year old's ass b/c marathon can't use either of his arms. pretty serious bike accident, where thankfully he's ok mainly and could have been wayyyyyy worse. but multiple bi lateral fractured wrist and right fractured clavicle. sucks.
needs me or someone, primarily me to bathe, feed, change, brush his teeth and wipe his ass. sounds like so much fun, not...
its now later in the day and i have survived all of those things. have not flossed his teeth, not sure i'm in for that one.
it will be fine and in some ways not that hard, and in some ways super hard.
i want his mom to come out, the brother does not. i don't mind the idea of care taking, i mind the idea of giving up my life and some of the things that make me healthy/sane.
also the cast water guards are both cool, and intimidating. why can't you get a cast wet?

back on the bike

but a pedal fell off as i was writing, luckily was fine, on side street and only 3 blocks from home. i really don't want to put money into this bike.

went to a yom hashoah commemoration community event tonight. was fine, but was hoping for more from the speaker, who had been the draw for me. very few people in my demographic, meaning agewise there. i think this is an issue. both with "organized judiasm" and also with holocaust education and who feels affected by it and who doesn't, esp as survivors are dying off. but i do think it shouldn't be about remembering, it should be about working to stop genocide elsewhere and work for justice here---not that i do so much in any given year.

having been promoting my students watching the a hawk cam, waiting for eggs to hatch, but looks likely this first year for this breading pair will be a no-go not sure how to talk to students about it. also will be interesting to see what happens to eggs/nest if they abandon them.

wasn't so impressed with the roulette sisters last night.

our apt is a mess. and i fucked up the floors.

got to see a batch of coffee being roasted at stumptown today. 1 person roasts, many pack. i still like sugar and milk in coffee!
