Busy, busy, busy

Things are, as I said, pretty busy. I'm still going for weekly labs, so that always takes a part of my day at least once a week. I'll be waiting in line for my H1N1 shot tomorrow. I hope it won't be a busy location. I know that some of the roving clinics in other locations are not as busy as the main ones, so maybe I won't be forced to stand for 4 - 6 hours. I'm a little worried about the whole thing. Not the shot, but having to stand for that long. We'll see.

In addition to that I'll be finally going to see the dentist this week. I missed last year's appointment because I was in the hospital and I'm finally getting around to booking the appointment. My dentist is really good, so I'm not worried. I just hate having to take a boat-load full of antibiotics before I go. I end up a bit queasy in the afternoon when I have to do that.

Dad is going in for the reversal of his ileostomy on Friday. He's pretty nervous, but Mom and I know he's tough. He'll get through just fine. It's still going to be a pain for him diet-wise. But he's had to deal with no fresh veggies or fruit for quite a while now - a few more months won't hurt.

On top of all of that I have a tail light that is busted and a slow leak in one of my tires. Somehow I have to get around to getting the car in for regular maintenance and to get the stuff fixed. I keep promising myself to get to it and Mike keeps bugging me, but I seem to be suffering from a bit of inertia. Maybe I'll get to it next week.

Mike and I are teaching the dogs new words. Sonny seems to be twigging to what we mean by "hug". He's made the connection and when Mike asks him if he wants a hug, Sonny raises his eyebrows and then lets out a groan of happiness when Mike gives him  one. It's pretty cute.
