Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Today's minor problem: The sole lining thing of these shoes came unstuck, so it gets wrinkly and annoying as I walk. So I put insoles in, and now the shoes are too tight. It seems dumb to pull out the lining altogether, but maybe that would help?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I just saw this now, so apologies for the delay:

I told them I had to do things for Hubby while he was in the hospital. Me getting a break is a thing Hubby would want me to do.

Connie, he also needs you to get a break. You need all the spoons you can get right now so you can go through your ordinary routine and take care of him as well.

And I'll see if I can get Arthur to stay home over the next few days....

I never know what to do with that situation, Jesse, but I think the insoles squish down eventually?

Not even trying to exercise before work today. I already miss it, but not enough time. And our staff meeting will be through lunch time. Sigh. Hope I can pull myself together for an evening run.

brenda, was it fantastic?!

Back in the PICU with Grace. She handled surgery yesterday like a champ. When I walked in at 6:00 AM, she was watching Wimbledon. Wha?

When I was growing up, we had pet rabbits. The Fatal Attraction happened and bunnies freaked me out. Anyway, we had collars on ours plus harnesses because they liked going for walks.

I ordered harnesses and leashes for these two last night. I don't think they'll be crazy about the part where they are still on a leash, but they'll probably like being outside without a fence. Also ordered additional "fencing" so I can give them a little more room inside (actually rabbit proofing the living room is a bigger job than I am going to be able to tackle anytime soon what with all the cables and whatnot lying around)

Aw, Grace. Wimbledon almost makes intuitive sense to me for morning after surgery.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The first time I had surgery, I brought 8 thick new books and a couple of magazine with me, because I would be in the hospital for about 2 days afterward.

I did not understand morphine drips.

When I went in for my hysterectomy, with a 4 day stay, I brought 4 magazines and 2 books of short stories. I got through all the magazines, and when I re-read them at home, they were JUST LIKE NEW!

ION, hoo boy, stress makes you tired. (Duh, I know.) I haven't cried today, so yay, me!

Also, I was looking at rental houses on Zillow (cart before horse, I know, but I can't help myself) and there was this one listing where all the pictures were of radiators and closet doors. Like, close-up shots. BWUH??

Well, she's awake and alert and playing motorcross on the iPad yelling AWESOME every few minutes. I think she fell asleep watching the Angels play baseball and just left the TV on. Were waiting for rounds and then discharge. Should be quick, but with what I know it still means hours.
