Work Stuff.


Last night -- only three of us, etc..Busted my ass..but, at least I got to work with Justine and Peggy. They are Teh Cool..and I know I can count on them when the chips are down. BUSTED our asses, though.

The coupla bright spots, though? (NO MATTER WHAT, there are always several..) A) Mr. D hugging the *bejeebus* out of me (I had TOLD him I would be back last night), and his grin..with the one tooth left in the man's mouth *right* in the front -- he is realllly coming out of his shell, and I think it is definitely good for him to be on Our Wing -- D Wing is very isolated from the rest, sometimes, it seems..B) the wide-eyed look on Ida's face when I confessed that yes, I *had* indeed had 'that martini', C) little Elmer talking AWAY in his sleep -- deaf as a doorknob, he almost yells in his sleep..he has this thing about Mickey Mouse -- LOVES Mickey Mouse, for some reason (his room is, like, a museum) -- and was just talking away to him....and D) after the usual rasslin'/cussin' match with my man..he just -- out of the blue -- grumbled, 'I wouldn't have NUTHIN' if it weren't for you, you know.'

I had NO idea what to say..it just came out of the blue. Wordless, I just sat down next to him and hugged him whether he liked it or not. Tough.

Awww, fuck. You know? He doesn't look so good..and is getting so listless and weak..all he wants to do is lay on the bed -- he FINALLY admitted that he was having pain, so I could go get him something from the nurse -- so you KNOW he is hurting. I was so happy that he wanted a cup 'o joe that I could have danced. The way his face lit up over a coupla crumby Fig Newtons is almost comical..almost, you know?

In the end, I guess its not all the fancy stuff that matters but rather mundane simple things...like crumbly fig newtons and people who put up with your crap.

Exactly. Their worlds have gotten SO small..that it IS the little things. They live for stories about our kids, etc..
