The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

After inhaling his food and water with single-minded gusto, he comes up to me, gazes at me lovingly... and belches.

*snif*

That's just beautiful.

~sigh~

Back later.

More dwarfish characteristics: short, barrel chested. Very hairy. Smells. Fiercly loyal, growls at people he doesn't like. Snores. Very fast over short distances. Kind of a dufuss. Very funny personality.

Good morning!

Work's got me hopping, but I wanted to at least pop in and say hello.

Went to the hospital on Saturday cuz I was having terrible pain in my stomach that lasted over 24 hours. I ended up running away when their backs were turned because the fella who took my blood completely butchered my arm!

My stomach is feeling better now, so I'll wait and see if the pain comes back before going to see a doctor. I will NOT be going back to THAT hospital. I'll go with South Miami hospital next time!

I suspect one of 3 things. Gallstones, ulcer or hiatal hernia. If it's anything serious, the pain should return soon. If not, I'll be glad to have gotten away with nothing more than a very ugly bruise on my left arm.

We have an inch of snow, but none on the roads so I guess I won't have any trouble getting to school.

You had to escape and run out of the hospital?

Oh dear. Ruthy, I hope the pain ~doesn't~ return!

Yikes, Ruthy! Hope you're able to figure it out - IF it returns, and hopefully it doesn't!

Um... are you sure you should have run away? Isn't that sort of a bad thing to do?

It was actually quite hilarious, because the butcher-nurse came back with an IV and said the doctor wanted me to have him put it in.

I was terrified and said I didn't want him to put in the IV and to go get someone else. Well, I guess I offended him and he insisted he would do it.

I then pleaded with him to let me go out and have a cigarette before the IV was put in since I'd be chained to the bed after that. He agreed and then he said "Don't run away!".

I nodded and said "Of course not!" I grabbed my purse and sweater and walked calmly to the side exit. Once I was out of that door, I looked around to be sure no one was watching and I took off running to my car. My stomach was killing me, but the thought of having an IV inserted by the butcher-nurse overrode everything else at the time.

Once I got back home, everyone wanted to know what the doctor said. I told them I didn't know because I'd run away and to NOT answer the phone! LOL!

I'm hoping it doesn't come back, Rosie.

But I'm pretty sure there is something going on there. I just don't know what it is.

But as long as it doens't hurt anymore, I'm not worried. :-D

Thanks ecurbh!

I'm paranoid that I'll run into that butcher-nurse somewhere and he'll drag me back! *shudder*

But Ruthy! As funny as the great escape is.... (and it is! :~D) I am very concerned about the pain that brought you there! It went away?
