[Guest guest]

With all of your last minute changes in appts I am surprised you are

staying sane, good for YOU! Yeah I figured 2 or 3 days in the

hospital. My wife may stay with me the first night, we'll see. I

don't really expect anyone visiting as that would be quite a 2 hour

or so drive there and then the same back.

So now you are going to be off 3 weeks? Ah the life of a recruiter,

what do you recruit?

Hay! Hope I am not off that long, would be nice to just do upper and

be open after one wk, but we'll see (how many times have I said this

before?!) after thurs nt.

Yeah I don't know why I am somewhat sane...I'm a little more numb, it

comes in waves---my fiance is traveling so I'm solo last nt, and I

walked by a mirror and caught a glance...with the braces, I have

always been like-WHATEVER, they're straight and braced-who cares what

tehy look like, but they are really " low " and my god, I can't even

imagine who's coming out of OR next mon. Which of course got me

thinking, holy crap MONDAY! and well, got myself spinning.

So, I walked away from the mirror and took my dog outisde for a

few...to change focus. helped, but so did the drink I had when I came

in! ha!

(no worries, just one

My challenges don't cease, have to take off thurs for 3 apts...but

the boss was nice about it...and now today's challenge is figuring

out as a know-nothing-computer chic how to set up my modem

tonight...did you know I need a splitter?, Cause I sure didn't and

don't want to wait until my fella is home-too short of a window to

check in with my office if there's trouble. So tonight, the KNCC will

try and make ONLINE happen! hahahaha...

anywho, have to run now to take my fam to a drs apt...see no dull

moments. I only wish surg was my only resp for this week...

noworries...day in the life!

And good idea about the mrs--just for the love if nothing else! JO

I went back over all my paperwork last night to make sure I didn't

miss anything. Got my reminder voice mail from my Ortho this

morning of my appointment tomorrow, plus I have my x-ray appt

tomorrow as well, and oh yeah have to file my paperwork for

something at City Hall, election coming up in Nov. My core team is

meeting to go over todo lists for that tonight at my house.

Yep you need a splitter (not to be confused with a spitter). I did

that for my son recently. Really simple. The cable comes in hooks

to the splitter and then you need another cable to go out to the

modem and another cable to go to your cable box/tv. The modem then

hooks to either your LAN card on the computer or a USB port on the

computer (not sure which you might be working with).

I did a similar double take recently and looked in the mirror

wondering if surgery was worth it, my teeth are straight now why am

I having surgery? And then shortly after realizing that there are

so many things that the surgery corrects that I hardly gave it

another thought.

Take care,

Tom
