D-2

Have the countdown? Tomorrow is the rest day before transplant, then we count up till George is able to escape from the hospital. I bounced over early this morning, taking comfort in the N-Judah running so that I could sit on the hard seats of the tram rather than the slightly less hard seats of the N-Owl night bus. Go figure. The tram has a lot more seating and better grab bars for those standing.

George is wiped, after a bajillion interruptions this morning, he finally got some sleep this afternoon. I ducked out to the library, then came back and watched the first few innings of the As game with him rather than fight the crowds over to the ballpark and back. The Umpires have stepped over the line from bad to horrible. Even on reply it was obvious that there was a missed call. That call gave the Angels a walk rather than an out. Followed by another missed call. Since this was the top of the 9th, you can imagine. On second thought don’t.

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
