Hey there, size-ist!
Still, good to know that if she's been 120 pounds you'd be munching some rug...

"Mildly irritating" may be an understatement, but this doesn't rise to the level of upsetting.

This morning I had a 9:00 meeting at work. Mrs. Dallas was scheduled for a 10:00AM appointment to have her allergies (or lack of) evaluated.

So I dropped Young Master Dallas at school and continued on to work, where I went immediately to the meeting. (Executive summary: We can do reporting based on information that's in the database. Yes, somebody can go through and eyeball things, but it's really better to have things tracked in the database.)

At 9:40 the meeting is all but over, except for the confirmation of items to be done. I get a txt msg from Mrs. Dallas saying that she fell while leaving the house to take Miss Dallas to the doctor and she's not sure if she'll be able to drive. I take 2 more minutes to wrap up the meeting. Call both their cell phones; no answer at either. Call home phone. Miss Dallas answers. "Mom is still sitting in the car. She said it hurts pretty bad." So she took the phone out, and I told her I was coming home.

Meanwhile the time for the allergist is approaching. We got a friend to drive Miss Dallas in for her appointment. Meanwhile I took Mrs. Dallas to the doctor & then to the hospital for an xray. While waiting for her, I gave the allergist Miss Dallas' medical history over my cell phone.

We're now all back home. (Xray results due within 2-3 hours.)

I think everyone imagines SD with his handy red Swingline.

I know I do.

Just remember, I only swing it for certain very special people.

At any rate, it's just a sprain. I think I will be home tomorrow, though.. the schools here close for Rosh Hoshana, and I don't think it's the greatest idea to leave her home with both of them bouncing around.

Steve it's times like this, and blizzards, which can be kind of cool. Once the pain simmers down, you'll all find yourselves in a remade relationship. ahh I'm pretty tired, you know what I mean. You can be out of your usual roles for a bit.

Could be worse, it could have been your fault, Kyle.
Oh wait, it is... we just don't know how/why yet.

My throat hurts and my head and eyes ache in a way that I know means I'm going to be getting a nasty cold. Damn it.
