Feeling a little better, at least mentally today. More jittery than panicked, which is just Fine By Me. Bob is at the office, so I'm by my own bad self, with Sophie the Wonder Dog napping at my feet. There are few bright spots that have made me laugh, and I wanted to share them.

DD walks home from school (in theory), since it's only a half mile away. In practice, she gets picked up most of the time, since we don't want her walking in bad weather or in the dark. She'll also call us if she has a heavy pack that day, or just doesn't feel like walking. Tuesday, when we got home from the hospital, we had this message on the machine:
"Mama and Daddy. I have peer counseling this afternoon, then drama, and then a school council meeting at 6:30. There's no point in coming to get me between drama and the meeting, because it's only half an hour. But I will need a ride home at seven. Bring food. Or, because you're not home, I figure that you won't be here. So, I'll just walk home. In the dark. And the cold. In a bad neighborhood. All by myself. If I don't make it, I love you anyway."
At that point she couldn't maintain her pathetic tone, and the rest of message was of her laughing. Good thing, because we were laughing, too. (She got a ride, naturally)

Bob picked up my prescriptions today, before he went to the office. As is my habit, I looked each one up to see the side effects. One caught my eye -- the diuretic has a side effect of causing breast enlargement!
Oh yeah, like I need that.
Thank God I'm not a guy. There's a compication that would be tough to explain.

Thanks for all the support, you guys. As you can see, I'm made of rubber and am determined to bounce back. :-)
