Weird week
M is staying at a hotel this week for pointy-haired boss management training. It's been disorienting to not have him home and to be driving myself to work. The cats didn't even sleep with me last night because they were hanging out downstairs waiting for him to come home.
Weird enough. Then yesterday, I get a call from my friend K (the one I've known since 3rd grade, who's kind of like a sister) saying that her hysterectomy (she has fibroids, poor lass) had been moved up. Oi. So I begged the boss for the day off, tried (and failed) to get some sleep last night and woke up early this morning to go out to the wilds of east SnoCo to be with her.
The surgery went OK, except that they poked a hole in her bladder while they were in there. So she has to be on a catheter for two weeks. Ugh. That's going to suck. Her hubby's staying home with her this week, but I may go hang out there this weekend to take some of the stress off of him. Her dad and his wife are also there, and it was definitely weird to be sitting in the waiting room with them, since I haven't seen them in... 12 years? Something like that. I barely know the wife (her dad remarried shortly after her mom killed herself 13 years ago) and I'm sure the biggest memory he has of me is the little smartass that his kid hung around with in grade school.
Very tired, and I feel guilty for skipping work today, even though I don't have a lot of stuff this week.
I'm also still freaked out about that arson thing, since we've been looking at property around that area to build on. And also, we went to that Street of Dreams last summer, too, so I remember those houses. (There's a good photo set here.)
