Wednesday morning greetings!

DR Ginny, how are you feeling today?  Do you have a black eye?

DR Elmore, I’m up and about, but have made the strategic decision to drastically curtail my DAR activities.  No 9am business sessions, only 2 of the 4 formal evening galas, and no Sunday morning events.

Yes, I have a spectacular shiner and there will be another photo this afternoon when I remove the dressing for my first wound maintenance.  Brace yourself...

Thanks for asking 

I am sorry you will have to miss some of the events, especially after purchasing fancy new clothes..  The good news is you will make some of the them.

[Jane]

Interesting notes and fun photos today.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Trapped in a meeting with sound problems.

[John G.]

Time for an oil change.

[John G.]

We were just beset by a mini monsoon, about two inches of rain in 30 minutes. Standing water plus huge puddles at intersections.

[Jane]

We might be getting one of those this afternoon.

I am home from another day that would have been fun if the stress to finish up for tomorrow were not so intense.  This was followed by three dreadfully crowded buses to get home.

[elmore3003]

DR Ginny, I'm sorry that your stumble is affecting your schedule.  What caused your fall?

[Jane]

She tripped on the cobblestones leaving the hotel.  Look at the photos on facebook.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny do you have a headache on top of the pain from the injury?  The fact that you needed an ambulance was also scary.

DR Jane, no headache to speak of, but my sinuses feel swollen.  The ambulance was mostly because we’re from out of town and the navigator was bleeding profusely.

DR Jane, I will get to wear my formal duds and will do enough to get a feel for the DAR experience.  We spent a couple of hours there today, visiting the fabulous library and wandering the building.  We’ll taxi back there for tonight’s gala opening ceremony.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny, I'm sorry that your stumble is affecting your schedule.  What caused your fall?

DR Elmore, it’s OK, we’re managing.  That sidewalk came right up and smacked me in the face!

I'm in a fog of a haze of a daze.  I didn't get to sleep until just after four.  Woke up four hours later for reasons unknown, and then someone showed up at the door - Grant's step-brother, who was picking up his late mother's dresser - Grant forgot to tell me.  So, there was that, and then I was up so I did a few things, finally getting back in bed at eleven and sleeping until one, so six hours of sleep.  Got up, got ready, picked up a package, and decided to go to next door's Jack in the Box - haven't been there in a decade, I think.  I got the two things I like there - breakfast jack and two of their weird taco things.  Came home and just finished eating them - they were good.  Listening to music, and in ten minutes it's out to the garage.

[ChasSmith]

Jack in the Box:  Two decades for me, and in the dusty recesses of my memory, their breakfast “Crescent Supreme” was the absolute living end.

I’m googling, and it looks like at some point they deemed their clientele grown up enough to call it a croissant. But it also doesn’t look quite like the same incredible thing.

[ChasSmith]

Yes! Crescent Breakfasts!

I've seen the photos, and those are not cobblestones.

[elmore3003]

Anyone besides me watching the debates tonight and tomorrow?

[George]

Anyone besides me watching the debates tonight and tomorrow?

I'm watching the pre-show stuff on MSNBC right now.  I have two screens here at work, so I can stream the TV show (through Comcast) on one screen and do my work on the other.

[bk]

I am, frankly, garaged out and it's a complete mess again because now it's loaded with empty boxes that I don't want to toss in case we should need them for anything.  But I've now been through every box, at least I think I have, and no tapes.  Very disturbing.

[Laura]

Good afternoon.

[Laura]

The missing tapes can't be the ones I brought you. Those were way too big to lose!

[elmore3003]

There is a steam pipe running through my bathroom floor to ceiling for heat.  Because the metal pipe can scald, there's been a protective corrugated paper/cardboard tube covering it for the first six feet since I moved in 39 years ago.  While I was taking my bath tonight, I watched Stella climb it like a tree.  Now I know why all the towels were on the floor when I came in today.

I'm worried at the moment because I think she's eating the paint she's peeling off this tube.

[Jane]

DR Ginny do you have a headache on top of the pain from the injury?  The fact that you needed an ambulance was also scary.

DR Jane, no headache to speak of, but my sinuses feel swollen.  The ambulance was mostly because we’re from out of town and the navigator was bleeding profusely.

Mostly good news.  Yes, I expected the bleeding part & was surprised not to see evidence of it in the photos.

Excellent.  Have fun this evening.  I look forward to the photos.

Kind of.  I just responded quickly which is why I said to look at the photo.  Paving stones, bricks?

First part was funny, not so much the possibility she is eating the paint.

[John G.]

Have to replace the fill valves on both toilets.

[John G.]

How did that happen?

[John G.]

Let’s move on...
