LONG day yesterday. DD's surgery was delayed by 4 hours so we were at the hospital from 10:30 to 6:30. But all went smoothly - more so than expected. I think we were afraid they would find some terrible fibroid that required a hysterectomy because of all the hemorrhaging but there wasn't much. No fibroid at all. They did remove tissue and it will be examined but the thoughts are that the IUD, which was missing, had run out of hormones and her body was trying to expel it (which it apparently did). Though the last blood test showed a hint of another possible hormone related cause for all the difficulties. When she sees her doctor next week hopefully she will get next steps. Thank goodness she has good doctors now.
So it was late and I was very tired getting back to the hotel. I had soup for dinner but chose a pastry while picking up the soup. Not a good idea. I didn't need it but ate it anyway and my insides were unhappy for a while. Lesson learned (I hope).
Today I may get out of my room somewhat early for a walk as my room wasn't cleaned yesterday because I left late. Not happy about that. Lunch with DD probably. I may go visit SIL this afternoon and come back mid-day tomorrow but need to mull that over. I think DD is going to feel pretty much back to normal today after a good night's sleep.
Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Hot tub on a cool day! Yes! (I don't like them when it is warm outside but definitely when it is not)

That was you yelling at a printer??? LOL
No experience with that type of dental cleaning though many people I know have had it including my DD in her 30's. Speaking of which I should get myself a dental appointment. It is getting down to 2 months until we go north for the summer.

Good news on your Mom. Good assisted living can be such a good environment at that stage of life. My MIL probably lived longer and happier because of the support.

I saw the puppies under your page (not TT). They are adorable! Are you getting one?
Nice job bypassing the donuts! I had a pastry last night and not only felt guilty but my intestines were definitely not thrilled either.

Hopefully Liz and her DD are back from the hospital and the biopsy will bring only good news.
The students exited the building at 2:40pm, and won't be bac****il April 7. Even though I have to work tomorrow and Friday, it's a whole nother vibe when just staff are there.
When I got home DH said the hot tub was 104, and did I want to join him? Yes I did. Feeling very relaxed right now, and happy to be warm all the way through.
It hits me when I'm setting up plans for next year as a department chair (I took it back after my friend was in a bad accident, he has enough on his plate recovering). I'll even say next year we'll... and then I laugh and say, well you all will... then they tease me about bragging.
That's good news about your Mom. I can't help thinking about how my Mom could have a more expansive life if she lived in assisted living. They won't budge though.
