Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Good news about the gallstone -- Drew should be on the mend. I hope the healing is swift!

And just wish some of the other ongoing situations were as 'easy' to repair.

I got some major decluttering done yesterday -- but now I have some 'new' piles to dispose of. Stil, it's progress, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

All those MRIs and CT scans managed to miss the 7 mm gallstone that was lodged in Drew's common bile duct.

Holy crap. Glad the surgery was a success and GO HEALING DREW.

Vortex, give me a call next time you're going to be in town and available! I didn't know you were a UVA alumna! Hell, you probably know this town better than I do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just realized I was thinking cm, not mm, so now I am not nearly as shocked as earlier, BUT STILL.

The status is NOT quo.

Yeah, 7mm is pretty damned big when you consider the opening to the duct is the width of the tip of a pen.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I`m still pretty shocked at the mm. No wonder Drew was in so much pain. Anyway, glad it`s out.
 
And yay for decluttering, Theo. I had such a successful Clean All The Things midweek that this weekend, which is usually Desultorily Sigh At All The Things is only going to have to be Maintain All The Clean. Which, huh, turns out my mom was right about that. And so all I have to do today is that and watch football. And swim, but I think l`ll go do that sooner than later so as to accommodate afternoon slounging without pesky exercise getting in the way.
 
And I am down to four boxes of random crap I`ve been carting around for years. AND I have four boxes ready to go up in my awesome new attic storage space. All of which means I have gained a ton of office closet space and we may be able to close our storage unit (yay money savings) and I also cleared the top shelf in my master bedroom closet.

Of course it is! Just not, you know, golf-ball size.

I am making zucchini bread and doing laundry. I don't feel like grocery shopping to get the other things I would need to cook today, even though it looks lovely outside! I guess it's still early enough that it could happen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The downside to Cleaning All The Things is that you know they're just going to get dirty again. Weren't we supposed to have nanobots for this sort of thing by now?

I'm in full on preggo-nesting mode so my home is marginally cleaner than usual, but with the internet so readily available, Clean All The Things is frequently superceded by Buy All The Things. I should bring up D's newborn stuff from the basement so I can have a visual reminder that I already Have All The Things.

When are you due?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Right? Where are my nanobots? And I would have clean things if Some People in this house wouldn`t insist on using them all the time, eating and wearing clothes and stuff just constantly. It`s ridiculous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, man. Today's nurse was so good. She got me out of the hospital in time for me to be home for the 6am conference call. And she was completely fascinating conversationally, even though she was a bit of a wuss about getting a line in.

And no more work calls until 11! Whoot.

It was that kind of nap. That couch is awesome.

It is, kinda. Best TV commercial-inspired purchase ever.

Hopefully this is it (cue Huey Lewis and the News voice), Drew.
