Oh god so tired.

Good luck, Jess! You too, Steph!

So the rescue people said Miss Hazel is 11, but I was looking through the vet records they sent along, and they say she is 13! She is awfully spry for an old lady, but it kind of makes me wonder how long we'll actually have.

I too was going to ask about letters, Jessica.

Oh man, Steph, it sounds like you've had a terrifying day. Hope Tim recovers super fast.

Our hot water heater died. So, I'm headed to the gym. I would have gone swimming anyway, I think, but forced to go is something different.

Lung-ma to Tim! Just in case, I do hope you've had them check for the plague, Teppy.

We are meeting with the architect this afternoon to work on plans for our renovation. This was spurred on by the fact that last Thursday morning, the DH called to tell me he was on the way to the ER with his uncle, who had fallen down our stairs. He fractured a vertebra, and will probably need some surgery. Time to get serious about widening the stairs and bringing them up to code, yo.

An hour later my mother called to tell me that my Dad was in the hospital with chest pain (eventually they ruled out another heart attack -- so, you can tell your Dad we don't this this was cardiac, Sox).

Oh no, Sparky! Your family needs some TLC.

I am feeling weirdly proud of myself for rejecting someone within 15 minutes of starting the phone screen. I hope I actually gave her good feedback -- she had applied for this job more or less at random, and there actually could be a better fit for her in the organization, just not in my department.

People, less hospitals.

Calm days to all.

I got pulled over on way to work. One taillight out, but I was so freaked out being pulled over and cod not find my insurance. No ticket.

Yikes, Sparky. Tons of ~ma all around.

Teppy, I hope that Tim is feeling better this morning and that his lung is doing what it is supposed to do.

x-post with Bitches:

Buffista parents with opinions about baby products and specifically what I need to be registered for, I would really appreciate your help. I'm finding that there is an overwhelming number of options out there, and I'm sure you know better than I do what I actually need. Please post in Bitches or e-mail me at my profile address. Thanks!

Tim's lung is still fully inflated this morning (he had an x-ray at 5 a.m.), so that's great. His vital signs are all still normal, and he's in good spirits and posting stuff on Facebook, so he seems to be doing quite well.

They still are probably going to keep him until tomorrow so they can monitor his lung to be sure it doesn't collapse again. There's an outside chance he *might* be able to come home today, but more likely tomorrow.

I am so tired I don't even think my brain is working. I think I'm only typing because my fingers remember what to do.

That's good news, Steph. Are you at the hospital now? Can you find a place to have a nap? Or even a rest?
