The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I don’t know why you are making all these baseless accusations.

Meanwhile, *I* have been working hard all day long. Bleah! ;-p

I’d spell it “chocolates” but there’s no editing allowed in November...

Nah, she will blow my word count away later one, there by crushing my writing spirit and dooming me to failure again this year...

oops, sorry, was channeling an emmo character.

I got another interview!

This time with an actual hosptital...

It would be prn staffing...filling in when they need help and when I want to work.

I might not get it, due to my lack of recent hospital experience...but they called me, knowing this up front.

The docs were happy with the resection and he is able to talk and move his arms and legs...not sure if there will be any loss of use or not at this point.

Wonderful news! Thank you for sharing it us. More hugs and more prayers - enough for everyone!

Hmmm - yer word count is depressing. I spent *all* day in a lock-in meeting arguing about stuff that I can’t fix. I had five minutes before heading out to check the email and wow - huge bombshell news in the email. It came in at 10 am. I could have fixed *that* problem if’n I was in the office. Now I’m going to have to call in from home tomorrow because I’m takin the day off to write. *grumble*
