Yay for a massage, Suzi! I'm glad you're feeling better.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I stopped on the way home and I now own The Gay Cowboy Movie. This makes me happy.Just ordered my copy and the Indian novel that is the sequel to one I just finished. This makes me happy. It's not instant gratification, but then again, I haven't remembered to pick the book up for a week already so I am getting used to the delay.

Happy Birthday Stephanie!
Glad the massage helped SuziQ. (Love the name change!)
Long day. I had so much work to do and didn't get any of it done.
Morning was delayed because I had a 10am doctor visit. He numbed my cheek and took a bit to test for bad skin stuff. Whatever. It did make my day start at noon though.
Drove to my project in Miami and started my work day at 1, then at 1:30 MIL called and said she was on her way to the ER. She was feeling very weak and dizzy and stuff last night and went to her doctor this morning. She saw another doctor in the same office and he told her she might be having TIAs (stroke) and she should go to the ER. He never asked if she was alone, she was. He never asked how she might get there, she drove. If he thought she was having a stroke why would he let her drive to the ER alone. Grrrrrr
Our theory is that he was busy and just pushing her off as someone else's problem. After chest x-ray, brain scan, blood tests, chest ct, etc. it is decided that she has vertigo. Scripts for something for the vertigo, and valium. She asked why they were giving her valium. In case she is anxious. Good grief. She won't bother to fill that one.
Got home 5 minutes before Lost. Gave the kids fast food from Arby's and collapsed. Also, my cheek is sore.

And while I am complaining about bad doctors. MIL had surgery and radiation for uterine cancer and is generally recovered well, except that she developed a hernia from the surgery. She asked the doctor about that and the doctor dismissed it saying she didn't want to have surgery after radiation and to wear the elastic belt thing and don't lift stuff.
She was not accepting this answer because she is only 61 and figures to have quite a bit of lifting left in her life. She asked the ER doc and he said by all means she should get surgery for it.

Oooh OOOH! Just talked with the parentals and dad is planning a trip out here in June to take me to the Champ Car races! I was going to
try
and thieve him for the weekend but since it will be Father's Day, I wasn't sure if it would work. I am doing a giddy dance. Happy birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Okay, the race is a day or two before my birthday, but it's really really close.) Ooooh ooooh!

Yay Dad! You are so cute when you do the giddy dance.
So tired I can barely type. I think I'll watch the VM tape but it's unlikely I'll see the end.

{{Laura}} I am glad your MIL is ok.
Yay, Cass! I hope you have fun. You have a good dad.

Yay Dad!He really is a good dad.
And race weekends, especially when I lived in Phoenix, were always the one time where he and I got to spend a lot of time together. It led to some really amazing conversations that we don't really get the chance to have at big family dinners and stuff.
So, yeah, I'm all giddy and goofy.

Nightly progress report - CJ's computer and bunk bed are now upstairs. Some of his toys have made the journey.
Tomorrow - his dresser and hopefully the rest of his toys. I'm trying to make this an opportunity to weed through his stash of stuff.
I will be SO happy when we are done shifting everything. I don't think I can handle another day like today. Speaking of which - THANK YOU to everyone here for the support today.
