Now there is the making of a fine historical novel, my friend.
I have thought that many a time, including the story of his son who came to America and got married on the ship to a former barmaid from Amsterdam, who was fired because she was too friendly with the patrons of the taverns. They were sued many a time by the well-behaved citizens of New Amsterdam for being lewd and troublesome.
Good-bye, sweet doggies. Too many pets lost this year, already.
Ditto.
So, over the last 3 days I've put in 30 hours at work. Today was a 9 hour day. I have put away the work laptop and will not open it until Monday. I will strive not to check work e-mail from my personal computer.
Also accomplished today - 3 loads of laundry - all folded and put away, bed remade with fresh sheets, my room and bathroom cleaned, and I have a crock pot meal plotted to put together in the morning.
I've already filled out my pre-surgery forms and talked with the nurse. I have a couple of books to read instead of trying to DO anything the first day after (thanks for that reminder, Javachik). Can it be time to get this over with already?
My sister takes metoprolol for a heart condition. Is that drug related to propanolol (the drug in the reducing-racism article)? Teppy? Not that my sister has racism issues, just curious about the fear-reducing thing. She could use her anxiety levels lowered.
lol
Good luck, Suzi! Don't do anything afterward!
Suzi, you sound uber prepared. Sending good vibes for any pre-surgery anxiety, as well as good outcome vibes for the surgery itself.
aww Ricky looks like a sweetheart and I know Dallas was a great companion for Trudy. They were lucky dogs to have hooked up with the people they did.
...
My great-grandfather was not involved in booze running, I'm pretty sure. He didn't drink at all. But he was quite the bookie about town. My uncle wrote a story about him and his world recently.

Lots of ~ma, Suzi! Heal well, and take it easy! Don't do too much too fast (I know, easier said...).
So sorry for the losses of Dallas and Ricky. It's so hard, so hard.

There was a story in the NY Times a few months ago, looking at some people from New Amsterdam, that mentioned a story that sounds like this.
good luck Suzi. think about how much better you will feel in like 1-2 weeks.
