*sigh* 'N Stuff

The dryer is still broken.  Thank goodness for a VERY honest used appliance place in a nearby town.  $100 later, the laundry is moving again.  Mom suggested freecycle, but we honestly had no time.  I'll have a house full of company in 2 days, and I've already had to wear my least favorite underwear along with some jeans that are too tight, despite my 10 lbs of weight lost in January. Yeah, it's not much, but it's better than gaining 10, right?

I finished the new slideshow for my web class with 1 hour to spare.  Phew!  I also typed up a 7 page document, which gives notes and points for each slide.  I had to do this because coworker Michelle will be filling in for me as teacher on Monday.  I'm glad it's done.  It will benefit me, too.  It will make it a better class, and longer too....as long as I SPEAK SLOWLY AND ENUNCIATE.

Kevin's Mom is coming up on Sunday, so she can be here for Kevin's surgery on Monday.  With his grandma (GG) living with her, she will come, too. Since GG can't stay alone, K's aunt Joan will come along.  I have one guest bed.

I'm sure it will be fine.  Joan will probably sleep with her mom, GG, and K's Mom (Linda/Grammy) will probably sleep on the floor near him, or on the other end of the couch.  He will sleep on the couch for a few days, at least.  The couch has recliners in each end, and it will keep him from rolling onto his shoulder.

With all of the company coming, we won't be going to Mom and Dad's as planned for the Super Bowl.  It's OK, I would have probably eaten too much, anyway.  I'll fix some chili and hope that they can enjoy football.

At least next week will be a short week.  I am off Monday for K's surgery, and I fly out to Indianapolis on Friday morning.  That's not too long after he gets cut on, so maybe I'll ask Dad to stop by and check on him while I'm gone.  The girls can take care of the house, and even cook simple things.  I just want someone to ask if he needs something moved, lifted, or rearranged.

I mean, seriously, the man unloaded a dryer, hooked it up, and loaded the old one into the back of his truck tonight, by himself.  HELLO???  Remember that you are in chronic pain?  Seriously, dude, wait until I get home next time, OK?  sheesh.  Like we need to go through THIS again.

OK, bitching session over.  I will make the most of all of this mess.  I will do what I can, and live contently with the rest.  Life will go on, and things will be fine.

They'll be fine, right?

Right?

RIGHT!???!!!

So you'll be in Indianapolis while I'm in Texas.  Sounds like some men will be seriously in need of a maid.

Okay, I have a solution for this.  Kevin gets surgery and then gets med-vac'd to my house.  I have plenty o' drugs and beer and an extra bed.  I'm home all day anyway.  On your way back from Indy, you stay with me for a week and then go back home.  Did I mention I have plenty of beer?  ;-P

Yep.  They will be fine.  Because I said so.
