there's a meaning to the world - we're giving love
how i spent my day off
an essay by birah harted, aged 23 and some months.
i straightened my apartment up, before going out. i stopped by the bank to order checks and discuss investment opportunities. what did i do next? oh, right! i spent 6 hours sitting with eva in the emergency room while the nurses ignored her. i am pissed off, and very worried about her. she has been sicking up nothing but bile for 36 hours, and as a result, her veins were all wonky. there were iv shenanigans in which they had to stick her 5 times before they found a viable vein. the doctor wants to do another ct scan, so she had to drink this gross dye called contrast, except, wonder of wonders, she can't keep anything down. and they would just not listen. while we waited, the iv emptied completely, and the nurses would not give us a straight answer as to why they wouldn't give her a fresh one. it was just, the most frustrating day of wretchedness ever.
please keep eva in your thoughts. i just want her to be healthy again.
i throw my hands up at this entire week!

i've started the apartment search for june. i just cannot stay here. especially since they're going to raise my rent if i sign a new lease. if any of my atlanta peeps (or susan or erin) know of someone locally who's in need of a responsible roomie in midtown or buckhead, please give them my email address.
