A few brief updates you need to be aware of:
The sewer line will not be fixed until Saturday, we are scheduled to return to normal plumbing functions by the end of that day.
EvilDeb is working from home today. She had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon to have some novocain shot in her head. Somehow, this is supposed to help them devise a treatment plan for her neck arthritis. She has arthritis in the neck cuz she’s getting old. There’s not a lot you can do about that. So I think they shot her in the head with a bunch of novocain in order to help her not whine so much about it. Look… I don’t know why they did it, all I know is, she couldn’t eat or drink this morning before the “procedure” and they had to wheel her out in a wheelchair and “it was actually necessary.” Oh, and the drugs they gave her were “excellent,” and she’s feeling very woozy. And her neck is numb. So my theory about the whining might be correct. She certainly doesn’t seem to be complaining right now.
And, finally, in a segment we like to call “Like EvilMother, Like EvilSon,” while chatting with me this morning, EvilDeb said that Number One Son, FairlyEvilJacob, was drinking a glass of water only to see a giant spider floating in it. Apparently, he almost barfed. Which totally counts. “Almost” counts in barfing and horseshoes. I guess the giant spider dropped from the sky, into his glass of water. I don’t think he actually sipped the spider. However, I enjoyed that story. Brought back memories.
