(6,080 posts)My wife is in the hospital. She is having a cholecystectomy in the morning. I'm having a beer trying to chill and get some sleep.
Aristus
(66,330 posts)Relax.
I know everything will go well...
I'm not too terribly worried. It's laproscopic, so less chance of things to go wrong. She has a great day nurse who will be there again tomorrow 7am to 7pm.
The wonderful nurse and I just happened to talk about chocolate today, so I got lots of her favorite, butterfingers, a bag of assorted chocolate fun bars, some smarties and a fun size bag of skittles and a big Halloween bowl. I'm going to give it to her to share with her co-workers tomorrow.

(6,080 posts)I am a thirty year nurse. I'm happily working private duty with a 2 year old. I worked about 25 years on the floor. My job now is wonderful. I just adore my little patient.

(25,855 posts)Actually, she got out Thanksgiving Day, I made the dinner, and all was well. I made sure to purchase a couple of boxes of Godiva chocolates for the nurses and anyone else working on her ward.
I know all too well what it's like to work weekends and holidays.

We found a spot up on Lolo Pass with internet! Weird!
Goddamn beautiful country out here!
Aristus
(66,330 posts)That's as close as I want to get.
I drove through Trump-Country Eastern Washington this afternoon. Far fewer Trump signs standing out in the farm fields this time. Kind of nice to see.
Or not see, at least...
cilla4progress
(24,731 posts)Traveling? You reside further west, I believe?
Every drumpf sign we see gets a big bird from us both.
But enjoying the local yokels. We have so much in common. Just don't bring up politics!

(66,330 posts)This is the farthest I've been from home since COVID-19 started. I'm isolating, wearing a mask in the public areas of the hotel, and so on...

(66,330 posts)Got a nice bottle of Smirnoff here. I'm going to try to make it last until Friday night, though. That's when I post my weekly drinking thread...
Ka-Dinh Oy
(11,686 posts)Tuck a couple travel size bottles in a sack for your meeting just in case.
Aristus
(66,330 posts)It's how I get better at what I do.
Drinking and baking is how I relax afterward...
Ka-Dinh Oy
(11,686 posts)Well, depends on the type of baking.
Aristus

Takes forever to get going, but no tell-tale whiff of marijuana to upset people...

Thank you ☺️
Aristus
(66,330 posts)Nothing can quite substitute for seeing Ailsa Craig for the first time.
And for me, so far, the only time...
ailsagirl
(22,896 posts)I fact, I didnt know Ailsa Craig even existed. Thanks for introducing me to her.
Aristus
(66,330 posts)They discontinued that ferry, so seeing her as close as I did might be more difficult now...

(66,330 posts)It's not boring if one had had insomnia since sixth grade...

(66,330 posts)The only times I've had more than six hours of sleep in a row since then have been when I was under the influence of one drug or another, prescription, OTC, or recreational.
ailsagirl
(22,896 posts)But I think Ill try to get some sleep now. Sweet dreams to you. 😴
DFW
(54,372 posts)I got back late from Paris (1:00 instead of 11:00), and then had 2 hours of paperwork to plough through. Woke up about 20 minutes ago (now about 8:20), made myself some hot tea, and will find out shortly if I have to rush out of bed to run down to Frankfurt or not. If not, I may have to run over to the Netherlands instead. They are journeys of about equal length, but Frankfurt is easier because the trains from Düsseldorf leave about every half hour, and to Holland only once every two hours.
