Random crap

Right now it looks like kitty Jonestown the day after on my porch. THough whenever I'm not looking the girls beat the snot out of Roy until i go back out there and then they settle like angels. HA.

Had my x-rays today on my ankle, getting the ball rolling on that. Well one of the X-ray tech trainees was one of my students and one of the ones who didn't do so well. I'm thinking lovely, me, her and a machine that beams out deadly rays, what could go wrong? Well, as I'm getting ready to get off the X-ray table (which is rather high) she whips the step stool out from aside the table and uses it to prop the door open and leaves, leaving me to jump off the table (which hello if I could do that would I need ankle x-rays which were taken higgedly-piggedly, i'm not sure WHAT angles they were going for but they weren't ones I recognized after doing it for over 10 years)

Oddly enough the orthopedic surgeon in WI agreed to send my records with a mere verbal request. The hospital on the other hand wouldn't even FAX the request forms to me. No, it had to be mailed. Guess who has the attornies on their backs.

more Birthday goodies

More goodies rolled in today. Some stuff from Flippy that she must have gotten at the anime con in Boston, a tin of peppermints with Roy Mustang on the cover and a little zipper pull that's his face. Cute. And some chocolate tea that promised hints of coconut. Well it was pretty much 100% coconut which is okay since I like that.


And from Mom and Dad I got two t-shirts one that says Careful or I'll put you in my novel and the other Have Students, Will Scream Mom told me I'm not allowed to tell anyone I'll be 39 since she can't possibly have a child that old. Dad told me the same thing but he decided he was cool with it until I hit 49.

I then had fun with the rents. Mom asked did Dad say happy birthday? Why, no he didn't. So they're both on the phones yelling at each other for forgetting my birthday until dad realizes hey that's not until Saturday! Then they started yelling back and forth at which one is stupider and then at me for laughing at them. Ah, winding the parents up, this never gets old.
