Perry to Sickbay.
Liv and I went on a double date, yesterday, with our favorite guys. We stayed in and they made us dinner - best spaghetti I've had this side of San Francisco!
Still not sure where they found the stove, but it wasn't in the front room this morning.

Turns out, if she wakes up in the middle of the night, Daddy will sing to her.
On one hand, I get to hear him sing, too. On the other.. this is a bad habit to feed.
Brody said this morning he was too tired to go to work, since someone kept him up all night, but I know he loves every second of it.
He took her to the lab, today. He promised he'd only let her stick healthy mineral samples in her mouth.....
I'm more worried that he'll forget her there, when the research inspiration strikes and he runs off to Stellar Cartography.

Spent the better part of yesterday on the Holodeck, having a family outing for Brody's birthday.
We went to the beach and the boys did some fishing, while Liv and I built a sandcastle. After that, we met up with the Fowlers and went to a baseball game.
It was a really good day.

Officially. The extra week of leave wasn't planned, of course, but I'm definitely glad I had it.
Also, my thanks to my entire team, because they somehow managed to keep me out of most of the ship operations without me even realizing it. I put a commendation in each of their files, because they earned it. And I can.
It'll be a sad day, for me, when Lt Remley gets his own ship. But it'll damn sure be thesecond-best run vessel in the fleet.

Turns out the easiest way to get her to sleep is to take her to Engineering.
I was joking, the other day, about the Warp Core putting her to sleep. Damn thing actually works.
Thankfully, I've been able to catch her before she wakes Sammy up. We need him to be pleasant for Mister Hunter and his classmates, every day!
But, back to Engineering... I may just stick her under my desk, every morning, so I can get back to work.
Still have a few weeks before I'm allowed to start working out. Not sure why going at the punching bag would put me at risk, but DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

Less than a day in and I can safely say she got her daddy's eyes and her mama's temper.
I wish I could say I remembered any of it, but I honestly don't. I'm kind of glad I missed it, because from what I've heard, it was all rather dramatic.
My thanks to the medical staff, of course. And, for all the stink I raised about my tracker, it appears the thing actually did me a favor.
Poor Dr Hartwig doesn't realize he's going to be getting a lot of calls in the future, to sing me to sleep.
The kid's on her own!
Aunt Marty already sent Uncle Paul and Uncle Shawn to separate corners for fighting over her. ((I think she just wanted to have a turn and pulled rank))
I'm enjoying it, though... Gives me a chance to snuggle with Sammy without either of us getting kicked, for once!
This kid has two weeks to get out.
Confined to quarters sucks. Keeping this ship running from my quarters sucks.
This all sucks.

Everything hurts, all the time; I'm tired, all the time; I spend more time in the head than I do at my station.
I swore I wouldn't have another man's hands on me, aside from medical staff, but I had to break down and hit up a Holodeck masseuse, because my back is killing me. I did start crying, at one point, but at least the pixels can't judge me.
I don't know if I can do another two months of this....

Liv has the hiccups.
It is the weirdest feeling.

Based entirely on the way he takes care of me, it's clear Olivia will have the very best big brother in all of the known galaxy.
My thanks to Marty and Kurt. Also to the entire Engineering team.
Turns out I really did need a day off. I just didn't see it.

Can't put my finger on who... but someone.
Pancakes before school! Pancakes for dinner. Hope Oliver likes pancakes!

Thanks for having me up on the bridge for a while. And for answering my two hundred questions.
The unnamed parasite - as dubbed by Aunt MC - is now known as OLIVER.
Brody's favorite grandpa was Grandpa Ollie, who took him fishing and taught him how to play the guitar. Sammy loves being named after his Great-Grandpa Sam -- we got the chance to visit with one of the Klingon ambassadors when we picked up Sam's things and they were quite honored to meet Sammy -- and decided that his brother or sister should have the same honor.
Yes, I know we don't know, yet, but Sammy makes the rules.
So, from now on.. please refer to my belly as Oliver. But, y'know, still look me in the eyes. Because directing conversation to my stomach is still just weird.
Also, I forgot how nice solid ground is. Real food. Real sun. Real fresh air. It was a good leave.

[she's sitting on the floor of her small bathroom, leaning against the wall, and looks like she's been hit by a shuttle; matted hair and pale coloring, combined with a general tiredness]
I hope you're suffering. [she sighs] Okay, I don't hope you're suffering. But, if I could pass this on to you, I would. [she takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly] I should save some of this so I can throw it at you, when you're back. [she smiles slightly]
[her eyes close as she feels another wave coming ; the feed cuts off, then comes back]
I changed my mind. I do hope you're suffering. [she shakes her head and turns off the recording]

Somewhere out there, Annie is laughing her ass off while I hug the toilet.
I just know it.
If there's an emergency, call me. Otherwise, I'm staying in my room, today.

I just ate about 16 pounds of spaghetti.
In my defense... only about half of it was for me.

Sammy had a rough night. We both did, really.
But we're better today.
But we're better today.
Sammy had a nightmare, so I spent most of the night awake, in case he woke up again. I spilled my tea on myself, on the way to Engineering. While trying to bypass the rolling power loss in the biology lab, a filament exploded on us, with no warning.
And I keep feeling like the room is spinning. All I can figure is whatever was leaking out of the filament is to blame. For all of it.
I'm going to swing by Sickbay on the way to the staff meeting.
