An uplifting post written by my Fiancee, Josie.

So last night, I'm listening to the assorted bedroom noises. The fan we use to help filter noises, the guinea pigs, the cats that come in, and Chandra and the dog snoring. However, I use the term Chandra for the collective, because I don't usually know who is out asleep these days as each person can't sleep in their favoured positions, thanks to Roboleg.
Believe it or not, the noise wasn't keeping me up. I think I'm becoming immune. I was dozing lightly, listening to the noises, hoping for real sleep when Katie(4) (with Sierra(2) behind her) roller over to face me, and softly called my name. Now, for many reasons, I am an exceptionally light sleeper, so I came out of my doze immediately when I heard..."Dozie?" followed by a tiny tug on my blanket.Turning to face her, I asked, "Yes Katie?" and she took her thumb out of her mouth and said, "Don't worry, the bunny will get the rainbow." She had a very serious tone of voice going on. Then she rolled over again, reinserted the thumb and went back to sleep. It was very cute, and highly amusing.
Proof positive that not all night time wakefullness for littles is an emergency.

One of Those Weeks

We went to laser strike tonight (one of our major social activities, we go at least once a week, but for most people it's like.. a work outing sort of thing, not a sport you play regularly) and, like, everyone knew we'd been in hospital. Even the refs. The refs are pretty cool though, we go drinking with them and they come to our practices. One of them gave me a piece of paper as we were leaving with his phone numbers on in case I wanted to talk sometime.

Anyway we've been having to do all this followup, talking to stupid idiot doctors and stuff. Apparently "all alters have the same shoe size" and if anyone can tell me what that actually MEANS I'd love it. I have a new retort for that though - I was watching Babylon 5 with a girl off our friends list and in one episode Londo is saying "My shoes are too tight, and I've forgotten how to dance."

So, "all alters have the same shoe size" is now going to be met with "My shoes are too tight."

But yeah, they are idiot doctors. They all think we're not real. I want to make a Bingo card to bring to the next appointment (on Thursday) so we can cross off the things people normally say. Discreetly, so they get really confused when I suddenly pipe up, "Bingo!"

Decimy said we're quite welcome to switch obviously during the appointments too.
