Good morning! Boy, have my plans changed! Originally, I was supposed to check my traveling companion friend into her flight home right now and enjoy a leisurely dinner with her tonight. Instead, she has checked into a local hospital with a suspected heart attack. The only good thing: because my plans tonight were with her, I am free to visit if allowed. Obviously, this is my highest non-payroll priority today,
I also realized, I am on the hook for church webwork for April and have not done this week. Need to do that ASAP. I also really need to run at least one LOL
Yesterday, DD16's biopsy went well. No complications. Results will be next week. Nothing looked wrong, but it often happens that things look normal, but the pathologists report still shows celiac. Her doctor wants me screened regardless of DD's results. We share the same autoimmune disorder, so I need screening anyway, plus untreated celiac can result in gastroparesis, which we know I have. We had in incidental finding as well: DD has a form of synesthesia. This is when senses are linked, so a person might smell music or hear colors. She hears what she sees. Laughing gas makes her vision buzz and she does not like it. It is the same effect as when her senses are getting overloaded and she needs to put on her headphones and/or swing for a while. Not sure if this is a constant thing or only sometimes. This is likely related to the autism and the nurses found it fascinating.
After that, she was ravenous and we ate Chinese. She wanted to sleep the rest of the day, so I had unexpected free time. (Work city is an hour away, so not enough time to go in). I used the found time to rewire the speakers and install a fan light. My bedroom is much improved and the bedside light can return to the LR. Delivered foster cat, Briggs, to cat coordinator for his dental today. I also did some pickup in MBR and LR because foster cat, Lara, is having a visitor today. The cat coordinator is handling that, so it is ok that I am not there tonight. She had to have benadryl for her skin last night. She did not yowl because Briggs was not chasing her out of my room. In fact, she was a quiet happy cat.
I was only off one day, but have 31 work emails to contend with, some of which do need my action. There are 74 home emails I must attend to sometime as well. My lunch today is boring, but edible.
