Our Weekend
The highlights of our hectic weekend include:
--Saturday: Hours at the company picnic with the WildChild, who for some reason thinks ponies are cows and amused everyone in line for the pony ride by pointing and moo-ing.
--Sunday morning: Geysers of water erupting from the bathtub & commode, caused by the first load of laundry attempted since the Roto-Rooter man allegedly unblocked the septic line. I'm thinking of suggesting a new use for his equipment when he arrives today.
--Sunday night: Mike is the relieved parent of one 4 mm kidney stone.
We're still in recovery mode.

Oooh, the kidney stone takes the blue ribbon for awfulness. Poor Mike. Is he okay? I have never had one of those, but I have helped patients through the pain when I used to work in an ER. About all you can do is give them some morphine and hold their hand. It seems to be one of the worst pains outside of childbirth that anyone can experience. Best wishes to your Beloved, hope he feels better soon.

He's much better this morning, thanks. The ER doc had given him plenty of pain pills, but he still had a pretty rough weekend.
Now I've got to smack the Roto-Rooter guy around and get to class.

Sorry to hear about the painful delivery for Mike.
Glad to hear the WildChild was in fine form.
I don't envy the RotoRooter guy.

Don't feel too sorry for him. He had his chance the first time he was here to clear out those damn tree roots.
If he had done his job properly then, we wouldn't have had that big mess to clean in my freshly cleaned bathroom.
I was not happy.
