today the roomie has returned. triumphant over the 3 cm stone. i broke down and went to immediate care last night and am now on a steady diet of antibiotics, not cipro, and tussin. my nipples explode with delight! the shiver shakes seem to be gone. actually made it out to do some errands today. no one i met up with could understand what i was saying, but i'm used to that. 2 weeks left on da gummit checks. still no one pounding down the door to hire me. maybe for other reasons, but none that involve gainful employment. oh yeah it's valentine's day. sickening isn't it? a whole day of reckless spending in hopes of not getting one's hopes dashed against the harsh jagged rocks of reality. the perfect evening to avoid any and all eateries. all that cooing and baby talk. i wuv you - no i wuv you- i wuv you more - no i wuv you more - pwecious wittle......(splort)... i'm gonna need a new keyboard.

well, what a fun coupla days. i'm sick, coughing, fever, chills, dizzy. honest officer, not a drop! perfect time for the roomie to pass a kidney stone. he asked to be taken to community north, home of patient un-focused medicine. they doped him up real good with an IV and everything. while waiting to be seen we got to watch some kind of intervention for an alcoholic. she made it no secret that the police cuffed and stuffed her while she was minding her own business on the toilet. what else? there was a walking o.d. accompanied by a friendly officer kind enough to carry her pharmacopia for her. getting to the hospital was half the fun too. roomie was screaming, swearing to a host of deities, and we had to pull over so he could puke. the perfect passenger. my fever broke several hours ago, but i think it's on a comeback. roomie should be home in a few hours. he's supposed to pass the stone sometime today. i know i'll be home when it happens. good thing i don't have a pesky job. i would miss all the drama.
