Well, no. The doctor still didn't call us.

Mom and I are considering going to the hospital tomorrow. We are definitely stopping in at the doctor's office.

Oh Yod, yes, I used to watch DOOL, and it was amazing how I would catch some of it some afternoon years after I stopped, and there he would be AGAIN.

Back in the 80s when I was an English lit. student and smoked a lot of pot and took LSD and other stuff and Ronald Fucking Reagan was president -- or at least I'm pretty sure he was -- the world made much more sense than it does today.

Edit: And goddammit, I can't deal with the ugly reality in proper fashion these days, what with potential liver poisoning and people expecting me to show up to work and pay my bills and the potential of having a bad trip in the office during the Christmas party and shit like that.

I watched Luke and Laura get married while recovering from the difficult birth of my daughter. Bloody hell, I'm old.
