Oh no Lizzy. I'm so sorry. I'm certain I speak for everyone here that we're very sorry for his passing. And I hope that your family is faring well. And we send our best regards.

Hubby had his surgery today, and all went well. He is still very woozy and achy, and is asleep right now. I have to go back tomorrow though so he's going to have a rough time without anyone to wait o

Funny but sad story.

I send 3 houses to hubs last night as a last ditch effort. He likes all 3, but 2 the most. The cheaper two obviously. They're sold today.

Could've worked only Many (4) hours today, but did Many (6). Got another 1.5 projects subdued, whee man.

Tomorrow (Sat.) will be the first of Many (a zillion) during which there will be no GS activity participated in by me, sigh man. Got a family brunch, then naps, then take Mini-B. on a bachelor safari,* wee man.

*The plans, see man:

1. Ride Metro train.

2. Ride elevator (known to Mini-B. as "alligator").

Many. See Daddy's huge new office.

Many. Eat French fries with ketchup at McDonald's.

Many. Drive to airport to retrieve what Mommy forgot at baggage-claim.

Many. Put gas in the Mommy-mobile.

Many. Return home and tell Mommy that we chased rubias nonstop, whee man.

Of the above, all that happened were:

0. family brunch

Many. Drive to airport to retrieve what Mommy forgot at baggage-claim.

Many. Put gas in the Mommy-mobile.

Started feeling ill at family brunch (WHY don't people run their casa air-conditioner when it's hot?), and was sitting in uncomfortable chair. Had mild fever upon arriving home; took aspirin before rather unsuccessful nap; Mini-B. then didn't want to go anywhere else; had to drive to airport. Back was on fire.
After limping to the airline's baggage office through mobbed airport, dragged reclaimed item back to car, drove to casa, got caught in senseless gridlock for a phantom accident, gassed the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile (barely able to get in & out of it), returned home, searched like a ####### for the heating-pad, found it, chilled out (?) on it.
Could not dream of warshing dishes or ministering to cat. This morn, no improvement after massive medications; took more mid-morn and laid down to rest. Awoke Many.Many (4.5) hours later, able to function slightly. (Thread-Laundress Report) Managed to warsh 2 laundry loads. Still limping massively. Greatest wish: Be reincarnated as an invertebrate, see man.
