IT RAINED LAST NIGHT!

I know that sounds so incredibly unimportant, but those of you non-locals have NO idea how amazingly significant that is.  Our yearly rainfall average is approximately 40 inches.  This year, currently, we have had 20.  20.  So any rain is welcome, and I understand we have more on tap for today.  Hooray!

Of course, I had forgotten what humidity does to hair.  That was a not so happy memory remembered.

Yesterday, I called my women’s clinic and said, “Could you please ask the doctor to fax a medical parking pass to my place of employment so I may receive priority parking?”  This allows me to park closer to the building and not walk a mile from the car to the office.  I would never ask for this, but our highs are STILL in the 80s, and it’s just getting to be too much for my size.

The nurse said, “We don’t do that.”

Well, that’s just an outright lie.  They did it for my coworker, who attends the same clinic.  I called her on it and she said, AGAIN, “No, ma’am, we don’t do that.”  So I asked how in the world my coworker got it and she said, “Do you have a medical neccessity?”  I said, yes, my medical necessity is that I weigh eight frajillion pounds and it’s hotter than hell outside and I’m tired.  She said, “Sorry.  We don’t do that.”

Whatever.  I’ll just have the damn baby on the sidewalk.  Just like the Chinese women in the rice fields.

Speaking of Chinese women, man, our table looked HOTT last night!

Wonder how hard it would be to print out a decent looking Handicapped parking tag..?
