The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Tums. I've often heard that people who pop Tums all the time get kidney stones. I suspect that was the case with my dad, who ate them like candy
...And who could blame him.

Well I’ll just pray that it’s not a calcium oxalate stone! That’s as bad as what you can’t eat when you’re on coumadin!

I think at one point I was babbling about how much I love nurses. Just want that on the record there. I love nurses.

I am constantly rotating through the first four stages of The Kübler-Ross model. You know I’m not a big fan of psychiatry, but Elisabeth Kübler-Ross always made sense to me.

Ha ha!! I love it.

Speaking of which...I’m working tonight. Worked last night too. Working tomorrow night. And Sunday.

Now granted, it’s just four hour shifts...so not too hard on my system. But I got my paycheck today and it’s so skimpy.

Sunday I get double time though...

The paycheck may be skimpy, but it IS a paycheck, and you’re still well!

I’d love to... but I’d have tuh seriesly redact it...

You need to develop a non-classified dog and pony show to present to visiting VIPs. Then you could tell us about that.

This is true.

Well, I did a no-no. I got myself a Mocha Java Chiller with a shot of espresso from Sonic. My stars, that's the best stuff.

Just checked my BP and it's 148/104.

[REDACTED!]

Are you redacting your way to lower blood pressure there?

Yawn. Did everything I need to do this week at work... we get off tomorrow... my boss is leaving so we had a work lunch... and it’s sunny and I want to go home.

Well, yeah...at least that’s the thought.

Heh heh...

It’s beautiful here...wish I didn’t have to go in. But at least I get home before dark now. I don’t like driving in the dark especially with this blurry vision!

See ya...gotta get dressed.

Have I mentioned that certain aspects of my job are totally totally stressing me out lately? It’s not the *job* that’s the problem, really, but...

Is it part of Murphy’s Law that on one of the few days in a month when I bother with mascara and all, it’d be a day when it’s an issue?

Ungh.

Who's taking issue with you wearing mascara?

Hmm, maybe you need some waterproof stuff. Or a cattle prod to use on other people.

Actually, it’s waterproof stuff. And I guess it didn’t get mussed too badly.

But I like the cattle prod idea...

So does the extra caffeine hit raise your BP?

I forget who the poor soul in the HH is who gets kidney stones from time to time...but,

You rang?

So sorry you're having to go through that. I'm holding on to the 50% chance that I'll never have another one.

So, no LOST repeat tonight, but I have a question about last week...spoiler font just in case...

If the date on Jin's grave was the date of the crash, how was sun really pregnant back home?...doesn't that mess with the whole time warp concept?
