Anne, no morphine or other painkillers? Or are they not working? The poor man.

It's Sunday and I don't have to work again until Tuesday. I am muy relaxed. Like, considering not getting out of bed all day relaxed.

I only garden for about an hour and a half yesterday-now, I am trying to do this every day. and i just recently bumped things up from under an hour a day. I am suffering from constant low level soreness. So my sympathies to those who garden many hours.

rest ma ~~ to glen.

We were thinking of Pride, but Matt is still sleeping, so I guess no.

I'm not sure what is up with the painkillers, and whether he can't have them, or they simply aren't working. I do know they're going to try something that might reduce the pressure in his abdomen.

I hope that Glen gets some relief today, Anne. And continues to stay out of danger.

It's raining. Rather emphatically. Please return meara.

I hope the obstruction dissolves/resolves on its own.

Debet, I hope you got the call and it was good news.

It is hot here, and very sunny and I have a ton of work to do today, which is why I'm procrastinating.

I am actually at work today, trying to compose an email to all the managers about belt-tightening the company is doing for the summer. It is hard to be informative without sending folks into a panic mode. Feh.

Eek, Robin, that sounds very difficult to construct!!

Kristin and I went out last night, but came home relatively early. I was so sleepy! And I slept and slept and slept, and finally looked at the clock and went "aw, i better get up, i feel bad sleeping the day away when we could play!"...and then I saw Kristin was asleep too (but she got up and took ND to the airport v. early this morning). So now I"m reading teh intarwebs.

The rain has stopped.

And my boy won his race and I don't have a fucking clue how that happened cause he crashed a few times and had to replace the nose of his car twice and I don't care now because he won and ... HE WON!

I hope Glen starts getting some relief today.

ION I am now in Phoenix. This has been an eventful flight so far. I was supposed to be flying US Airways. I got my bag checked, went through security, got to my gate, sat down, and then they announced that anyone who has a connecting flight to certain cities, you need to go back to the ticket agent, as the plane out of Burbank is delayed and won't be making the connecting flights.

So, back out past security, back into line. Finally up to the agent. They start hunting and hunting. Pretty much everything into Orlando on all airlines out of Burbank AND LAX is booked. She finds me a seat on the 10 AM flight to Phoenix on Southwest with a connection to Orlando (Including a stop in New Orleans). It is now 9:44. I head back towards security. There is a massive line. I make it up to the person checking ID. Since I have a ticket newly purchased today (For the rebooking on Southwest) I'm sent to the security check. They pull me aside to do the full search. They keep paging for a male TSA worker to screen me. This takes about 5 minutes. I'm finally through, and I sprint to the gate. They are literally about to close the door as I dash up to the agent. They issue me a boarding pass, and I get to be that asshole last second person on a Southwest flight shoving myself into the first center seat I can find.

So, now I'm one again in boarding group C, and waiting for my next flight. Do I get hazard pay for this?

Pain easement to Glen. I hope he can get some relief and rest today.

Robin, I do not envy you your task today.

ND, I think you should get hazard pay. That's just icky. And, I wee (but fierce) birdie told me that you have taught middle school drama. If you have any tips/advice, I would welcome it!
