((Emptynester)) what good helpers you had all around. I hope you won't ache too much today.
Well, Lilac, I hope she has the weather report right. Sounds chancy.
Nancy, what a joy that your dgs loves your house so much.
Quotes I like:
"I cleared the vanity of everything "
(I read this to mean that Harmony has cleared vanity itself right out of her life, and I was very impressed with her.)
"I just wanted to kick myself but couldn't figure out how to do it effectively."
Here's the scoop on yesterday. HRH had to have emergency-ish root canal. Sigh. He had been misdiagnosed or mis-prescribed by three dentists/doctors by then and it was getting to be less than humorous. This most recent dentist worked him in as first appointment at 7 something yesterday morning. I sat for 45 minutes alone before the first regular appt arrived, so I know it was a difficulty. This dentist said do NOT have a valium beforehand, which previous dentist had said DO have. This dentist wanted nitrous oxide, and wanted it to do its job alone.
But HRH has never had nitrous oxide before, and, true to form, he just does not respond to "drugs" of any ilk in an expected way. It all went wrong, had some kind of an opposite effect, making him super-alert as though he had had energy drinks, baffling the staff. So it took more than 2 hours, with staff trying to get that to work in futility, and ultimately HRH just said do the work with local only. The previous dentist's prescription of an antibiotic because of infection was evidently off-the-mark, and had not touched the infection at all, very frustrating for this dentist. And so this dentist gave a different one, so HRH will have been on antibiotics for 3 weeks before this is over.
Anyway, you can imagine - pharmacy took time, home to rest and WAY behind on everything, so I don't think I even got here yesterday.
I do have some Ta-Das. Will hope to think of some of them and tell! That might make me feel less scattered!
I would assume that your feelings about what he said have to do with the impersonal method of emailing, and I wouldn't worry about it. He might be letting some defensiveness come through in his message, simply because he doesn't want to say they don't have enough money to keep giving to everyone they think expects it.
