I got the day off to prepare for our move. I have done very little preparing. I have been sitting on the couch, watching Doctor Who from the 60s. I am a terrible person.

Eh, you'll get it done!

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I packed my cookbooks. And a box of blankets. And threw away some garbage. Mostly because WE DON'T HAVE the next disks in the season of Doctor who I am watching, and I don't much waaaaant to skip ahead.
I probably will though. I like it.

TrudyML · Guru

You are funny!!!!

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

In my defense, I can't really do dishes, vacuum, or pack anything upstairs because my BF is sleeping. He goes in to work at 11:30, and needs to be in bed by 2:00ish. I am limited, an must be quiet. Do you know how hard it is to pack quietly??

Start drinking?

Hahaha, I wish! But no, my body rejects both alcohol and sugar rather forcefully. I have learned not push the issue unless it involves cookies. Or cake. OR CUPCAKES.

What was it, and how did this happen? I hope it was sterile.

It was a fine hemostat. It only went through soft tissue. I bled all the way down the hall so once I stopped the bleeding I cleaned it up. It's fine now, just have a black finger.

TrudyML · Guru

Oh, a black finger!

Cupcakes for all!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Lol!

TrudyML · Guru

It's like Mr Deets black foot!

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

OW. I hope your finger feels better!!

This is weird. Our neighborhood landscaper/knows everyone guy had an incident on Monday. He was raking the neighbors lawn, started convulsing had blood coming out of his mouth. 911 was called. Took him away in the ambulance. Mr.VoR called his wife, let her know where he was being transported to and then we took his equipment to his house.

This morning, the wife knocked on my door. I've never met her before. Anyway, she can't find her husband. She had called all the hospitals and they all said he wasn't admitted. He hasn't been seen since Monday. So strange. She thinks he fell in a canal.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

That is strange VoR. Can't the authorities track down which ambulance was dispatched & talk the the EMTs to find out where they took him?

voiceofreason · Guru

We can literally see the responding fire department from our yard so I pointed it out to her and suggested she go ask them. I got her number from her and just sent a text to see if that panned out. No response yet.

Well, at least it wasn't a needle on a commercial embroidery machine (and I've done it twice, don't ask... disbelief )

Maybe she doesn't have the exact name he has been admitted under....

Not to make light of a very dire situation, but that sounds like a Twilight Zone episode! I hope she locates him soon, that must be an awful feeling.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

That's really odd Vor. Did he maybe die so the hospital has no record of him? She needs to involve the police.

voiceofreason · Guru

She said she was going to file a missing person report but wanted to talk to us first. I feel bad for her. She didn't know about the blood or the convulsions. Mr.VoR didn't tell her on the phone because he thought she would get all that at the hospital. When I told her that, you could just see her panic. The hospital they told us they were taking him to is about a mile or two from our neighborhood.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Very very strange VoR!

NAOW · Vette's SS

I don't know what to do for dinner. Nothing sounds good and I don't feel like putting any effort into cooking.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I am going to make chicken quesadillas.

voiceofreason · Guru

I'm going to sonic for dinner. I walked 2 miles today so I need to partake in a shake sabotage. I'm so broken ! Lol

NAOW · Vette's SS

That is so strange VoR. Please keep us updated. He had to be admitted under the wrong name or something.

I hope it's that simple. What a strange situation.

I came home from my meeting starving and I found leftover chicken tikka masala in the fridge!!!!!! Winner winner!! 🍲

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Wow, VoR, that is very strange. Hope the guy is all right and everything gets straightened out.
Thanks for the well wishes. This flu bug really knocked me down. I slept 5 hours after posting this morning. Been sipping on Gatorade since waking up. The fever is gone, finally!!
Chicken noodle soup for tonight. So glad I had a big bowl in the freezer.
DD's stomach is giving her fits now too..
DS has it, hoping he doesn't give it to the baby.
DD and three of five have it as well.
We share very well around here.

SB, OUCH!!!!

Dona, don't worry, you will get the packing done.... may be ... wink

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I hope everyone feels better soon czech!

We always buy good TP, real butter, good bread, and yuban coffee. We think we've worked hard enough to not have to settle...lol.

Man, awesome awesome awesome moving film. Worth seeing. We went to the one pm matinee. It was almost totally full. That's never happened before. It's usually pretty empty when DH and I go. Usually only one other couple in there. It was so full. I was on my seat the whole time. It was so well done too. Oh, and if you know who and what to look for you can see us all standing on the side of the road at the very end at the funeral procession. Moving.

The part about the baby. If people hadn't made such a big damn deal out of it I wouldn't have even noticed. I kept watching the whole time for it. I was so let down because it wasn't nearly as scandalous as I thought it was going to be. The two of them are in their daughters nursery. She finishes nursing her and hands off the baby to him to burp. He does it and puts the baby in the crib. The baby is fake. I had to look really hard to figure it out. Was such NOT a big deal.

Go see it. Worth it!

VOR, perhaps the hospital he was brought to didn't get is real name if he was disoriented. I hope it turns out well for the wife.

JPT Congrats. You have been expanding your business so much.

I sat through an hour long meeting today that pointed out that my department (and by extension, me) is irrelevent and unimportant. We "should not be included in decision making" when it comes to treatment team because we aren't traditional "clinicians". I pointed out that members of my department work with the client 40+ hours per week rather than 45 minutes per week. They didn't like that.

I hate my job. Oh - I also have higher training and education than the majority of the "treatment team", more experience and (frankly) am better at the job.

Woah, they think your team is irrelevant? What flew up their arse today...

I would be ticked as well. Sorry they made you feel that way.

Czech, hope every one gets better fast.

YAY FOR THE RAISE SB!!!!

Totally weird VoR.

Tig. Maybe dust off that resume.

Church was good tonight. Good message.
