February 17, 2005
For
reasons unknown, I typed
"November" for the date.
I definitely like
February (or at least
the things happening in
February) better than in
November, so not sure
why that one slipped
out.
After a high stress day,
Eric is upstairs
sleeping off the Valium
he got at the Lasik
Surgery Center, as well
as a Vicodin that I
backed it up with a few
hours later. I
just checked on him and
he said his eyes feel a
little sandy, but they
don't really hurt like
they did. He can
see pretty well, but
it's gauzy and the light
is really low in the
bedroom, so he hasn't
really tried them out
yet, which is good.
I was able to watch the
last 2-3 minutes of the
procedure. I was
supposed to see it all,
but they forgot to come
and get me. They
were really busy.
We have to go back
tomorrow for his 24 hour
recheck and then he's
good to go.
We
had a wonderful day
yesterday. We
spent the day walking
main street Placerville,
looking through the
little shops along the
way. I got a
housewarming gift for
Georgia (Jennifer's
should show up tomorrow)
and Eric bought a cool
Herne bell for the front
of the house. We
had a nice breakfast
together and were going
to have a late lunch
before going home, but
neither of us were very
hungry, so we got bowls
of soup that we only
half finished. We
got home 15 minutes
before the kids, then
fed the kids and settled
in to watch
Trekkies 2.
It was great fun.
I loved the first one
and the second one was
just as fun. We
slept early, but we have
both slept restlessly
all week because of this
upcoming surgery.
I hope that now that it
is done and over, we can
get some good rest.
Tonight is the science
fair, so I need to take
the kids to town to the
school (not the little
school, Delena's school
which is about 25
minutes away) for the
viewing. Delena's was on
the different processes
for extracting gold from
black sand and which is
more effective.
She didn't place, but it
was a good project.
When we get back, I'll
feed the kids and put
them to bed. I
will likely be close
behind.
Ah.
Just went in to see if
Delena was almost ready
to go and she was dead
asleep. I think
she is still debating.
The boys have
friend over, but they
are nearly silent
upstairs. When
video games and Yu-gi-oh
dueling come into play,
it's serious business.
:)
OK,
call this "some time
later..." As it
turned out, Delena
decided she did indeed
want me to escort her
into hell and bring my
sons along with us.
That is to say, we went
to the science fair.
Delena immediately
clustered with her crew
and the kids and I
walked around looking at
the projects. (My
sons are enormously well
behaved in public, so I
at least didn't have to
worry about them being
idiots when I was flying
solo) There was a
huge buffet of cookies,
candy, juice, sodas,
chips, chex mix and
pretzels and the kids
went crazy on it.
Afterwards was the
awards ceremony which
was sort of like jabbing
wooden bamboo skewers
into your eyes and under
your nails and such.
Then we got to come
home. Kids
instantly went into the
tub and to bed.
I'm up getting a few
grown up nonstressed
hours in today.
Eric reports that his
vision is good, just a
little hazy. He's
not in any pain any
more, but has that sandy
feeling in his eyes.
Tomorrow, we go for his
24 hour recheck and
maybe to get some soup
at Black Angus if I can
steer him that way.
Meanwhile, now, I sleep.
 Good
night, folks.
Love,
K
