He's probably not dealing either. Not that I know anything about being a control freak about something ridiculous when I am upset. But my friend does.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dad #1 seemed pretty reassured once I told him there'd be TVs aplenty throughout the hospital (I'm sure that everyone who isn't being called to a code will be hovering around the waiting rooms all day). And he did cop to being a Niners fan himself; I can easily believe that the kid is too, just because at that age if the rest of the family is all excited about something you usually are too, even if you don't understand anything about it.
And the surgery isn't until the following day; the day before is all preop tests, meeting the surgical team, and getting the kid acclimated to the hospital environment, so he wasn't quite so much trying to reschedule his kid's surgery as not understanding how long the preop would take.
And, y'know, he didn't hang up on me and instantly call someone else to try to get the answer he wanted. So, props for that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So Dad #1 is slightly misguided but trying. Dad #2 just sucks.
Just had my support group and am, as usual, filled with gratitude for my family.

Today's Google fun is for the birthday of Mr. Zamboni. There's an amusing little game that lets you drive a little zamboni of your very own.

By a series of mistakes ( I thought I was searching mail, I was searching my drive,) I ran across a folder (and subfolders) of stuff I'd been working on back in 2009. During SMOV and just before I went to Nepal/Bhutan, which was crazycakes times.
In this folder was a bunch of files I'd been in the process of reingesting. But I hadn't finished. Interrupted, they were forgotten for 3 years.
Good news: I can now reingest them and get rid of some recurrent errors. My packrat habits serve me well, cause I saved all this stuff off our old ops machine when we switched to linux, 'just in case.' Bad news: THREE FUCKING YEARS. OMGFAIL. So embarrassing. Owned right up to it, but jaysus.
Went out to dinner with B&A and it was $10 bottle of wine night at the Dizz. So I drank half of one to go with my brandied pepper bacon with provolone burger and sweet potato fries. And took the bottle home. Seems like a good plan.
I've got to steam the cat before I crash tonight.

Steaming a cat sounds hard and potentially dangerous.

Steam up the bathroom and stick Devi in it for 5-10 minutes, vet's orders.
Easier than pilling her, for sure!

That sounds more doable than what I was picturing.
Medical~ma for all that need it, btw. I am on my phone and therefore lurky, but reading and nodding and having what I hope are appropriate reactions.
