Fringe 1x20

I just watched the season 1 finale of Fringe... wanted to jot down a few notes.

Oh, and one of the best lines of the series; I laughed and scared the cats:

"What are you doing here?"

"We're trying to plug a hole in the universe. What are you doing here?"

Today's to-dos

- Wash sheets
- Tidy up guest brdm
- Get eyebrows done
- Clean cat box
- Empty dishwasher
- Leave for Vallejo around 4:15 (can always hang out at the coffee shop if I'm way early)
- Make shopping list for tomorrow
- Make some Fringe icons
- Haul heavy bag of dirt into the garbage
- Water plants

Life is a little too exciting for me right now... I may need to slow down ;)

ETA: While I was getting my eyebrows done I decided to get a pedi also... and wow, it was awesome. My feet are crazy soft right now.

Say what?

UK Daily Mail: Bed shortage forces 4,000 mothers to give birth in lifts, offices and hospital toilets

Now you have to figure that, just like in the US, there might be cases of women waiting too long or babies just deciding to come early... they're not exactly known for being predictable. And every year there are stories of babies being delivered in taxis, by cops, by paramedics, etc.

What I find disturbing is the admission from NHS that they just don't have enough beds or enough 'midwives' and that women are being turned away from hospitals, refused ambulances, and in general being flipped the proverbial bird by hospital officials.

The spokesman added: 'We would encourage the family to contact our patient advice service if they have any concerns over the care received.'

Sure... if they pick up the phone.

Man collapses with ruptured appendix... three weeks after NHS doctors 'took it out'

Paul Gearing, deputy general manager for general surgery at Great Western Hospital NHS Trust, said: 'We are unable to comment on individual cases.

'However, we would like to apologise if Mr Wattson felt dissatisfied with the care he received at Great Western Hospital.'

*blinks*

Help me out here, Brits. Can you sue the NHS?

read it!

I had an interesting 'first' day. I got a call from someone - a family member - who had a question for me, and I totally thought, in an irritated way, "Ugh, I posted about that on my blog! Why don't you read my blog!"

I was not stupid enough to say it aloud, though.
