I are sad. Em is at the doctor's for the first time ever without me. And she's getting shots.
Joe is a magnificent, wonderful, terrific, caring, loving dad and I'm positive without a doubt that she's doing fine.
But ... *I'M* not there and ... and ... it makes me sad.

In the olden days when I did standup I had a whole section on "People should get have their own lives but what about the child raised by Dads in Greenwich Village? Won't anybody think of him? How is that kid going to rebel?" And then launched into a whole schpeil where the son is all "I'm moving to the suburbs and becoming a copier repairman" and the dads are all "We sent you to the finest art camps! Where did we go wrong?!?!?"
Thanks for the ~ma, y'all. And you know, all this talk of alcohol is making me want a drink in the worst way and I'm off the sauce until way after surgery. Feh.

Shouldn't that be Potato/Potatoe for the Republicans?
My half-brother is an evangelical Christian studying to become a music minister at a Baptist college that teaches creationism. My father, who is paying for that college, is a devout atheist and a scientist (a doctor). None of the rest of us can even compete in the rebellion stakes!

Aims, lil Em is such a big girl now, she's probably holding Joe's hand comforting him. No worries!
Then there was the night that the guy I was sleeping with told me--in bed!--that he was engaged. I kicked him--literally--out of bed, laughed, then sat in a friend's room and drank a whole bottle of wine and never lost the power of clear speech.
OMG, how was there not BLOOD?
Champagne cocktails are a win! I always drink Kir Royale's on New Year's. Prosecco is also a favorite, especially on hot, hot summer evenings. Gotta be careful, tho with champagne or Prosecco when it's hot, because it goes down so damn easy and you can sop up a lot of it in a hurry and WHAMMO!
Barb, speaking from experience, I DID take painkillers the night before my surgery, and my Ambien the night before. I started my period 2 days before le slicorama and had to; doc was okay with it. Just don't eat or drink anything 12 hours before!
