The ER

 Mac: ugh. Spent most of yesterday and all of last night in the ER. We are okay, but have a new thing to keep an eye on. (Mori: we got a monster ovary full of blood, teeth, and hair!) I'm worn out and catching up on sleep and food (neither of which I got at the ER, since surgery was a possibility).

I have been declared Loony-Brain MVP of the month and everyone's going to spoil me rotten now. I plan to take full advantage of that because by god, I deserve it! And I'm also glad it was me. Normally Ro or M.D. would've got pulled for that, but they both have major medical phobias, so better it be me. (Though Ro stayed with me to give me company and eat pain for me.)

Get-Together-Versary Party

Mac: The ER stole the spotlight there, but this past Saturday, me and Ro had a potluck celebrating our 16th get-together-versary! We had maybe 15 people show up?

And it was a good crowd! Nobody knew everybody, but everybody knew SOMEBODY (besides us, I mean). Mixed demographics: some were singlets who knew us through comics, others were plural friends from the meet-up, others were friends we met from other social stuff or past roommates. There was a lot of delicious homemade food, and I had fun circulating around talking to everybody.

People used to get up in our face about "shoving our relationship into other people's faces." (For all I know, they still do, but they have the common decency to do it behind our back where I don't have to hear it.) But you know what I so don't regret? Being able to have fun potluck parties in the park, eating homemade spring rolls, brownies, and potato salad. I don't regret that AT ALL. I LIKE having parties!
