  • The only thing that makes packing up the kitchen less rage-inducing is all the crap I'm allowed to throw AWAY. #
  • … that, and knowing that when we reload it in a month or two, I'll have a strong argument for tossing out more stuff we obvious never use. #
  • Our "kitchen in a box", (mostly) ready for demolition. http://t.co/aBbOusBY #
  • Daughter in the ER. Potentially appendicitis. Wonderful start to the week. #worry #
  • Potential appendicitis is now Actual Appendicitis. Scheduling surgery now. #
  • Kaylee, Aapa, and Knufflebunny getting some much needed rest before surgery. #
  • In general, I would advise against surgery waiting rooms for those with active imaginations. There's such a thing as 'too much fuel'. #
  • Little girl out of surgery and asleep, anesthesia replaced by exhaustion. Think I'll just stay on this couch here. Nice and close… #
  • My daughter is walking around the recovery ward, handing out donuts to 'all the nice nurses who took care of me.' #mutanthealingfactor #
