Random Thoughts for a Monday Night

1 - Dial Anti-Bacterial Soap smells like Dr. Labriola's office.

2 - I hate cleaning up pee from the carpet.

3 - I really like How I Met Your Mother but I'm not sure I'm ok with the framing device. I am however glad the slap-bet is back.

4 - I got really frustrated in the hospital parking lot today. I was there to drop off some essentials and some In-N-Out to my friend Holly's parents who are there with her brother who has been there for more than 70 days. He's being released tomorrow to rehab, which is both good and stressful, as things in really crazy situations often are. But I was frustrated because these women were walking around the really crowded parking lot and it seemed like every aisle I went down they were in my way . . . and they weren't really making an effort to get out of the way. I wanted to scream that I was there to run an errand for people who were at the hospital because their son almost died and PLEASE GET OUT OF MY WAY! And then of course it occurred to me that these ladies were probably at the hospital for some equally horrible reason and I took a deep breath. This may seem like a no-brainer to many of you, but I am terribly impatient and I definitely didn't have this kind of perspective before my dad died. What I thought about after taking my deep breath tonight was how we must have looked leaving the hospital the day my dad died. I can't remember it for the life of me, but it probably looked something like those women wandering around the parking lot tonight.
