Good afternoon! I have been a slug for the past three days, so I don't have much to tell.
Joining in the thanks for Harriet and Twins. Also to LadyM, who got me back here.
Just got a call from the hospital with my surgery time. I need to arrive by 9:15 for an 11:15 surgery. I need to let DH know to take off/work from home (or the hospital) the whole day. I figure with surgery and recovery, we won't be out of there till at least 1:30, and then DH would need to take me home, so by the time he could cross town back to school, the day would be shot.
I hope all is well with HRH, Harriet.
lucylee, we have a landline that I'd just as soon get rid of. It would be one thing if it were an old-fashioned copper-wire setup with a phone that only plugged into the jack. But our phone, though AT&T, is VOIP (voice over internet protocol), so if the internet goes out, our phone service goes out, and our phones are cordless ones that require a base set to be plugged in, so if we don't have power, the phone doesn't work (besides, our internet goes out, too). So for most emergencies, the cell phone is more reliable. However, DH worries that mobile 911 isn't accurate enough. Dfriend's DH, who is a paramedic for the big city, says keep the landline, but DB, who's retired from a suburban FD, says there's no reason to keep it. We usually just get spam calls on our landline. The hospital did call it today, but I got to the phone too late; they immediately called my cell.
Texted DH the surgery info; he says his Monday meeting's been moved to Wednesday, so all is good. He reminded me to get salmon out to thaw for dinner. That's out now, and I have lunch cooking. After lunch will be exercise (unless I do it while lunch is cooking; I'll have to check how much time I have left) and then laundry. Have a good day, everyone!

I am ashamed and embarrassed to say I did NOTHING worthwhile today... Last night, the panic set in and I stayed up till 4:00 a.m., watching Family Feud and Judge Mabeline, trying to keep my thoughts occupied with things that make me laugh... but at 4:00, I took a Zofran and went to bed. Then watched Green Acres till daylight.
