I was kinda online over the weekend, but spent most of it trying to play WOW or scene. I just activated the 10d free trial of Lich King and spent the weekend going around Northrend. Yay, for playing and exploring new places! I still have plenty of areas to go through in Outland, but I'm sure the game will kick me back there when the trial is over. :)

obviously not on jury duty today; when I checked the site, my number didn't come up. I get to check again tonight to see if they want me tomorrow. Ick. So today is something of a wasted day. Which is good for writing fanfic in, but boo, because it means no work getting done at work. It makes me wonder how my schedule would look if I was already in practice and would have to cancel a full day of patients. ::winces::

at some point Katya and I need to talk about this tradition that started about five or six years ago where the outgoing fellows buy all the attendings and staff gifts. So two people with little money have to buy gifts for sixteen people. Even at $20 per person, it still comes to nearly $200 for each of us to spend. And as jay put it, that's an awful lot of money to spend on people we don't necessarily like. And it isn't fair considering we are running out of room on our credit cards because of child care expenses and will have to scrimp for our family's gifts. Mentioning it over thanksgiving weekend, the inlaws were saying that we should go with cards or cheaper ornaments or something like that. Jay also mentioned starting a new tradition of giving nothing, which Katya didn't want to do even if we both are cash strapped.

blargh. I'm going to have my sandwich and write more fic.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

quick notes, as i have a lecture soon, a patient and supervision this afternoon and G is making me correct my grammar from my eval, that I sent last night. and I have patient families to call today, apparently.

maddy woke up sunday night and was screeching every time we tried to put her back to bed. she was up for a bit with us, had some milk, and protested being put back to bed at 11:30 pm but dammit, we all needed to sleep. bad enough jay and i had procrastinated going to bed that we were up for that anyway. she cried a bit, but did go to sleep. she was tired monday, didn't nap much, didn't protest bedtime. she cried again last night, about the same time as sunday night, but this time instead of just trying to lay her back to sleep, I cuddled her for a few minutes first. That way, she didn't scream herself awake, but started dropping off a bit first. Then I laid her down. She protested, but she was already tired and eventually fell back asleep. So it went from a little over an hour awake to less than ten. woo.

I seriously hope this presages some kind of milestone and isn't just terrible twos early. because jay was joking the other night that this is making him rethink the idea of having more spawn. :)

two evals tomorrow morning (!) and apparently some cancellations to try and close the clinic early. katya and i are going to try and head out to do some shopping ideas before i pick up maddy. some jerk years ago started the tradition of buying everyone in the department a goodbye gift, and apparently they keep trying to outdo each other every year. we had a big WTF moment last year when we found out about that, and can't afford to out-extravagant one of the fellows from last year. hells no.

gah. work to do...

I'm actually posting via the website and not Semagic for a change. lol.

I have been skimming my flist at best, so I'm sorry if I've missed anything important. I tend to post via semagic and skim in between work stuffs and scening and trying to write things. I even need to get back into WOW, which I plan to do over Thanksgiving. We may or may not be able to see "Ninja Assassin" that weekend; the couple that babysat Maddy for us last time hasn't called me back to say they're free. Considering that she's been tantrummy off and on over the past few weeks and occasionally having difficulty with bedtimes makes us really want a smidge of a break. Wah. :(

But! Anyway, before I completely forget, it's that time of year for sending Christmas cards!

If you would like a card, let me know! I'm screening all comments on this post, so you can let me know what your address is in a safe way. Or e-mail me (username at hotmail) or PM me. And let me know if you want me to send you MY addy, if you'd like to send one in return. :)

Well, I placed an order for Jay's Christmas gift last night, and he totally didn't even notice I went for my wallet because he was playing SWG. It's going to be an awesomely geeky gift. Or stocking stuffer, if I find something better. :)

This morning I had a wacky (and not in a good way) dream. I can't remember where it first went, but it ended with me (as someone else) climbing stairs that were on the outside of the house to the third floor, which was this ultramodern glass and concrete deck and living area for the house. There was a large fishtank that was smashed, with glass and water everywhere. And a thick trail of water and glass leading into the house, where the glass wall was shattered. I follow the trail in, and there's a large dog lying on a coffee table. He has a very light coat, and it looks like a chunk of his back was taken out, but there's no blood anywhere. I go closer and kneel beside the dog, a phone suddenly in my hand to call 911 to report a breakin. The dog picks up his head to look at me, and part of his head is all gory (yet somehow without blood), and as I'm crying talking to the operator, it was Indy lying there horribly maimed and close to death, with me telling him it was okay. I kept saying "It's okay, Mommy's here, you can let go now." And he kept struggling to breathe and stay with me. Once I said "Indy, you can let go," I snapped awake and it was storming outside.

As Jay said this morning, "Are you suddenly the ghost whisperer now??" WTF, brain. srsly. I'm not enjoying these kinds of dreams, okay?

So prolly in reaction to this, I decided, what the hell, I'm getting myself from makeup from Sephora.com. ::facepalm:: I really don't need that much eyeshadow or lip gloss but what the hell, right? I should be good for a year. ;)

::headdesk:: Here's hoping I don't wind up maxing out my cards. I'm already too close to the limit because of day care. :(

But in other fun news? Jay is planning on getting me the Lich King expansion to WOW for my birthday. He said I've been whining too much about how I don't want to level up because I don't have the expansion to get me past 70 anyway. Honestly, it's that and the near constant scening in evenings. lol

well, yesterday I got a verbal kick upside the head regarding Monday's eval via e-mail, which of course tore into my ego a bit because I really hadn't thought we did that horrible a job. today, G sent an e-mail regarding the review article she wants to write and have me help on. That's a boost; apparently she doesn't think I suck completely. ;)

Maddy is back to her usual cheerful self. Maybe it was just teething or not sleeping well. I don't know. But a happy Maddy makes for a happy Mommy. :D

the other day I saw on the news that the county supervisor had wanted to halt the increase on property taxes. the county legislature overrode him and okayed a 3% increase on property taxes so they could hire more police. (let's keep in mind that suffolk county cops have the highest salaries in all of NY state, let alone the region...) It definitely made us headdesky and worry about our mortgage payment. That escrow keeps getting adjusted, and there really isn't any kind of dent in our principal right now. In two years, I think we've paid off maybe $3k of the whole?

Seven months and counting, and then we'll be in a place where the cost of living isn't quite so astronomical.

Maddy was much less cranky this morning, which gets a woo! from me. Still cranky in bits, though, so I started off my day with that "Can Mommy take a time out??" feeling anyway. Plus maybe this is the week when normally my hormones would run amok. I dunno. But my New York was out in force with all the idiots on the road and rubbernecking when there are 2 cop cars and two intact cars by the side of the road that everyone has to slow down to a crawl to gawk at. So many f-bombs, folks. Good thing it was after I dropped off Maddy at day care. ^^;

Teething plus separation anxiety plus not yet able to do everything we do = cranky baby = tired Mommy and Daddy. Jay is already so over this stage of development. :D

Omg maddy had a tantrum for 27 min before now is starting another one since i'm getting ready to go...

An update from Maddy:

oh, yeah. I dunno if I ever formally made the announcement here...

But we'll be moving to Wisconsin in June. I'll be starting there July 1, 2010. :)

And in other news... Maddy is apparently happiest when she can eat from "big people" spoons. Seeing the baby spoons in my hand just pisses her off. She also doesn't like seeing the jars of the stage foods overmuch. We did get a container of Stage 4 tubs, which she LOVES almost as much as food from our plates. Oh, maddy. :D
