Shrift and I are back. Gronk.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wimbledon is the best for vaguely watching while lying in bed. At least, it is as an adult.
I never know what to do with that situation, Jesse, but I think the insoles squish down eventually?
Oh yeah, I forgot that was my other option: Just wait it out.

Our wings are not tired.
And I'll see if I can get Arthur to stay home over the next few days....
Yes, please.

Arthur is the name of our Corgi. Thus, many headlines are very amusing to me today.
