Friday night
Dec. 28th, 2002 01:07 amMy dad called at seven this morning to tell me that they've taken my grandfather back to the hospital in Lexington. He's been smothering since the surgery, and they drained a liter of fluid off one lung a week or two ago, but couldn't do it on the other side because it was too thick. They drained off twice that on the other lung today and are monitoring him.. hopefully he'll come home tomorrow. We went to Lexington to do some shopping (the Stitch Niche was closed. *sneef* That'd be bad enough but they're having a 20% off sale tomorrow and I'll miss it!) and to check on him. Dinner at O'Charley's and then homeward, where we've spent a couple hours dutifully trying to save the world from Diablo. :)
I dreamed, after Dad called and I finally went back to sleep, that I was in labor at the hospital he's at. It's a little unlikely that, in the event that I get pregnant, I decide to go to that particular hospital because it's a little over an hour away. It's probably the nicest of the hospitals I've been in, though, so I guess it's possible. I saw pictures of someone's baby on LJ last night and it made me awwww over the whole baby idea. Magnus is pretty much used to me by now and didn't get too scared. He really freaked out on our first visit when I talked to a baby in a mall and oohed over it. I was irritated by the freaking out because I always talk to babies. They even like me, usually. Sometimes I get all bouncy and excited at the prospect of the future and our prospective children and how *big* and *unknown* it all is (how many we'll have and what we'll name them and etc). Then again, sometimes I think of the responsibilities and risks and it makes me want to take a sedative. :) We're both closer to excited than sedated, though, I believe, but hopefully it'll be another couple of years anyway. :) I really can't imagine why I'm rambling on about this, it's quite irrelevant.
Oh! Brad gave me a bottle of raspberry lotion from Bath and Body Works for Christmas, and I had an almost full bottle so I exchanged it today. This maneuver actually cost me $19 because they were having this sale and I had to buy three bottles.. *grin* I wouldn't have.. I would have just replaced it with the same size bottle and different scent, but then, when i was about to settle for Sweetpea or something, I saw a display in the middle full of Honeysuckle! I'm a huge fan of honeysuckle. Apparently, it's back for a limited time only. In any case, I'm happy about it, $19 or not. I felt like a criminal, though, carrying around a bottle of lotion and then walking up to the counter without a receipt saying that I wanted to exchange it. How would they know if I had just picked it up from one of the shelves?!
Anyway. Rambly rambly rambly tonight. After my second spectacular crash during our game, I told Magnus I thought it was time for a break and he agreed. The problem, I discovered, is that I have no clue what else I should be doing, and now I"m hopelessly bored and it's not quite time to go to bed yet. Actually, I wouldn't mind but there's not even the slightest of chances my baby would go with me yet. He's such an unsleepy boy. We're horribly mismatched that way.
