normal

It was a busy day, and that was good.

I ended up taking an Ambien (well, half) to get to sleep last night, and consequently had a hard time getting up this morning -- even though I took the Ambien at 11:30 and slept straight through till 7:30, and that stuff is supposed to be short-acting. To that I say, ha!

But when I finally did get my butt out of bed, I realized that the grocery situation was more dire than I had thought; we needed lots more than just milk. So I screwed up my courage and hauled us off to Trader Joe's. Then I picked up DS1 after school, and took DS1 and DD to RE as well. While they were gone I made sorta-foccacia, and fired up the grill to make burgers for everyone but me. I had soup...

My neck bothered me some but not all that much. I probably did too much, though, and will pay tomorrow... but tomorrow I don't have to do anything except pick up DD and DS1, and those are pretty easy trips, all told.

Shoot, I need to do a column! Well, it's not happening tonight, that's for sure.

It's kind of funny, both DH and I have burned out on the political stuff at pretty much the same time. GWB had an interview with Hannity this evening, and neither one of us was at all interested in watching. I think it comes from having been decided (and engaged) for a long, long time. I will be happy when this election is over. Right now I'm praying for a clear victory and no lawsuits... it could just be chaos. I'm really hoping it's not.

I'm seeing my surgeon for follow-up Thursday afternoon, and my endo Friday morning. I shall get all the nasty details about how big the tumor was and all that blah blah, and when the RAI will be and what to expect: do I really have to spend 3 days in the hospital? I think I'll go crazy. But at least if I'm in there, I'll be in isolation, so they will not be pestering me constantly the way they do after surgery.

My rash looks nasty but isn't quite as itchy, for which I am thankful.

I even read to DD this evening, although my throat keeps getting gunked up. It's OK though. I haven't even tried to hum, much less sing, though. That's going to have to wait a good long while, I think.
