vw, what Cindy said about chunks. I get the same way--at least I did when I was working and staring at a mountain of tasks. It was always easier for me to run and hide than try to deal with everything at once. Which, when you think about it, can't really be done. So one step at a time is best.
Cindy, I'm so tired of shit. *g*
Trudy, please tell amyp I'm vibing for her sister. No matter how you slice it, surgery on V-day sucks. Mom's doing great and should be home in five days.
I can't believe how lucky Mom is. It was her bronchitis that caused the chest pains that led to them testing her heart. Her surgeon told us today that the location and the size of the blockage in the main artery would have made any heart attack "an unsurvivable event". So she wouldn't have gotten an easier warning sign. Those words give me chills. But all is well and she should be MUCH MUCH better now.

AND she has a groovy new scar to show off!
Seriously, that is so wonderful. And don't YOU feel relieved now?
Wow, Cashmere. And um, yay bronchitis!
Hooray Cashmere! And I so hear you on this. My mom had a hysterectomy for a benign ovarian tumor this May and that's when they discovered the uterine cancer which the doctor told her would have not been detectable for another two months, at which point it would have been "too late." Thank God for things being MUCH MUCH better!
Yay for the good mom news, Cashmere. I am so glad for her. That bronchitis really was a blessing in disguise, huh? I hope her recovery is swift. Are you going to go out while she's still in the hospital, or wait 'til she's home?
And, Cindy, according to previous posts, you do know a lot about shit and shit-stirrin'.
And shakin' and shoveling too, ChiKat. Texture, color variations, and conshish-tencies. I am board certified.
(Most importantly, I know when to say to heck with it, and throw the outfit out, rather than launder it.)
Poor Cashmere. Just think. Another year or three, and he'll be potty trained.
(mostly)
How's Christopher feeling?

So much of life is blind luck. Or miracles. Or stuff. I'm happy for it, nevertheless.
Things are going so well for my family members at the moment. My brother is in AA--he started in jail. And he likes his sponsor and is continuing with it. And my dad--MY DAD--went to church with my sister this past weekend. I feel like everyone is getting a new lease on life. I'm dying to go visit and hug them all.
Yeah, my dad was the same way - no sign of anything wrong that would require surgery other than five years of steadily increasing knee pain.
Cindy, we'll wait until everyone's well. She'll be out of the hospital Saturday, so I want to go up then.
And Christopher's ick went away so much faster than ours. He says it's because I'm so tired from childcare stuff that my immune system isn't up to par. I'm better but still tired. O's acting normal except for the poop.
Just think. Another year or three, and he'll be potty trained.
Heh. I swear they showed Maisy the Mouse PEEING and WIPING on Noggin the other day. It freaked me out, but I realized that that probably is good modeling for toddlers.

Bear in the Big Blue House had a big potty training episode.
