Two Days in One

Hi there,

Ahh what a long day...sort of.  I had oral surgery this morning which actually went very well.  I didn't have any sedation as I was trying to be a big girl about this, and it was far less awful than I had anticipated.  I did a little grocery shopping then came home and made myself a Reuben panini. I've been craving a Reuben since T mentioned it a few days ago, and since my tooth didn't hurt at all (and still doesn't ?!?) I treated myself. Promptly after eating, I curled up on the couch with Episode Number Whatever of my Criminal Minds DVDs and immediately fell asleep...until 4! Seems like another whole day started then.  I had to go to Target and make a bunch of phone calls, help JJ with homework, do tech support on the phone with my dad (God love him) ... and make dinner.

Now it's almost 8. The kitchen's cleaned, dinner was terrific (I made enchiladas mole) and I'm still working on this thing for my dad. I feel like I've still got hours left in the day but most nights, I'd be getting ready for bed by now.

Anyhoo....it was nice to have the day off and I didn't really mind sleeping most of it away. Clearly, my body needed it, even without the surgery.

The rest of the week should be quiet, although we've got a busy weekend planned.  Friday night we're going to a Bingo fundraiser for a friend's kid who is going to Mexico on a school trip. Saturday I have another photography class, JJ has Little League draft and that night, I'm going to see The Vagina Monologues with Kim. It's put on every year at University of Puget Sound, and our friend's daughter is in it. I saw it two years ago when she was a freshman so it will be fun to see it again now that she's older and more theatrically developed.  There are a bunch of women from the neighborhood meeting up for cocktails beforehand ... should be a good night.

Sunday, actually, should be pretty quiet. I hope. Next weekend is our crazy one...with JJ's birthday party, Kim's book release and launch party, then a FD pancake breakfast fundraiser on Sunday followed by rock climbing for JJ's birthday. (In a building, on a fake wall. I'm sure I'll amuse the shit out of everyone there.)

That's all around here.  Sorry to drop that weird bomb on you the other day.  It's all good.  No worries.

I will probably be home after work tomorrow and can talk if you'll be around.  Would love to hear how everyone is holding up in your family.

Love,
A
