Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

We had Chik Fil A, because we drove up to I-95 to have dinner with friends on their way by, and Chik Fil A is good (for fast food) AND has an indoor play space for 2 year olds who have spent the day in the car.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Man, I miss Chik-Fil-A.

OMG MY DAD HAS GONE TO BED.

Our wings are not tired.

I had popcorn for dinner. We visited with my nephew and they fed me wine and some crystallized ginger treats that I never had before that were tasty but not dinner. When I got home popcorn seemed a reasonable plan.

Of course Dad went to bed. It's late and past a reasonable bed time, east coast time. But I'm watching Monk before I collapse.

Am I amused it's cooler here than back at home?

More humid, I suspect. It's practically dripping.

You don't understand. He'd been staying up late when I really just wanted my downstairs to myself, and then mom would wake up as early as I did and I was having NO time to myself. It was making me evil. And lo, the night before they leave...

Of course, I am probably going to crash in an hour myself. These past 2 weeks started making themselves known starting about 6:30 tonight.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He has tenosynovitis in his right hand-repetitive stress injury. If this round of medications doesn't result in substantial improvement, they're going to refer him to a specialist and he might be looking at surgery. Which-- oy!

Barb, has he had a cortisone (or any steroid) shot in his wrist? I had fairly bad tenosynovitis last year, and a cortisone shot plus sleeping with a hard brace took care of it. I would think a shot would be the next step, before surgery.

ION, we have a gastrointestinally ill dog, and it is about as disgusting as you imagine. But I feel so badly for him, because he has this ashamed look on his face, the I-did-something-bad-and-now-I'm-going-to-get-in-trouble look. We keep telling him it's okay, and he's a good boy. (Which I *swear* is making the cats think, "Seriously? So can WE shit on the floor???")

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, has he had a cortisone (or any steroid) shot in his wrist?

Actually, no and you're right, that'll probably be the next step. Well, referring him to the specialist and then seeing what the specialist says.
