PhantomMut

In the hand below, pay attention to axel oelzner; he makes a call which can only be described as extraordinary.

Session Start (phantommut:ashidome): Wed Apr 25 10:25:02 2007

[11:47] ashidome: I need to go on bedrest

[11:47] phantommut: thought so

[11:47] phantommut: okay, what does that mean

[11:47] phantommut: hmmmm.

[11:47] ashidome: And come twice a week to check the babies

[11:47] ashidome: Still at the appointment

[11:47] phantommut: okay

[11:47] ashidome: Gotta go on disability for work

[11:48] phantommut: can you work from home?

[11:48] phantommut: or is this really "bedrest"

[11:48] phantommut: and not just rest

[11:49] ashidome: Its greatly decreased activity

[11:49] phantommut: okay

[11:49] ashidome: Watching tv

[11:49] ashidome: Lying in bed

[11:49] phantommut: knitting

[11:49] ashidome: Yeah

[11:49] phantommut: okay, we can do this

[11:49] ashidome: Some computer time but should be done in bed

[11:49] ashidome: I'm getting more details

[11:50] phantommut: we have the old laptop and a bedtray, that works

[11:50] phantommut: assuming you can sit up in bed

In a way, this news is a relief. I've been worried that Liz was trying to be Superwoman, and maybe this will allow her to accept some help / let go of some stuff.

The problem though is one of the twins isn't doing nearly as well as the other. Today's weigh-in has Hunter at 3 lb 12 oz, Aden at 2 lbs 5 oz.

Damn, my stomach hurts.

Okay, don't click if you don't want to see some truly donktastic action:

[10:25] phantommut: just heard a rumor that <REDACTED> resigned

[10:25] phantommut: from a source that I trust

[10:25] ashidome: Okay...

[10:26] ashidome: That blows

[10:26] phantommut: yep

[10:26] phantommut: very very bad sign

[10:29] ashidome: Oh I thought not paying people was very very bad on its own

[10:29] phantommut: we've got so many scary signs we look like an australian beach

Extreme roller-coaster action in my on-line play for a while now has led me to dread actually posting.

But maybe my feet are solidly underneath me now, so a post is possibly in order. Besides, the things you want to forget are most often the ones you shouldn't.
