My Love just returned from the annual company physical (perk of being a Globetrotting Executive Goddess), and the news is good.
Even though I – he of imagined heart attacks and actual panic attacks - still hold the family record on that sexist stress test), she is perfectly healthy and able to continue to support me in the manner in which I am accustomed.
BAM!
Two bloody knees and a sore wrist.
So, friends, while I attend to her every need (her need, not mine, gutter-dwellers) (but I appreciate your rooting for me), here are few oddly appropriate items I wrote elsewhere this week for your enjoyment:
- I expound on the ups and downs of at-home dadness over at DiPaola Momma’s Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom
- My short story at Polite Fictions dispels the common belief that airports are hell.

$18,600 raised; $6,400 to go!
Help the Uncool Family find a cure for Thing 1’s autoimmune disease!
Even if you can only spare $5 or $10, please support us in the Austin Marathon by donating to Cure JM Foundation, the only nonprofit dedicated solely to putting an end to this often painful and potentially deadly disease. Just whip out a credit card and click over to our FirstGiving fundraising page.
Seriously, people. Check out the Polite Fictions post. It's entirely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are putting the "Boo Boo Bunny" on Your Love's injuries. (Although I believe that putting the ice directly in to a glass with a favorite medicinal beverage is as good if not better. After all, it is Friday.....)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the airport mishap....heal well!
ReplyDeleteSent a little something over to the fundraiser...wish it could be more....
So sorry to hear about her injuries! However, it means she can't run! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good guy! lol @ the gutter mind... Funny but I didn't even GO there in my mind when you said "her every need"
ReplyDeleteI thought of lounging on a great bed with fluffy blankets and chocolate all around and the T.V. remote. And a little bell in her hand that she swings back and forth ever so forcefully so that you may feed her another chocolate. But not forcefully enough that she hurts her fragile wrist! :)
lucky thing she's got an attentive sla...uhm...mate to take care of her :D
ReplyDeleteHas she pulled the "I can't use the remote with this hand" yet? It's a classic. It's a ploy to make you watch Grey's Anatomy with her...
ReplyDeleteheh! these lines made me chuckle:

I am so sorry to hear about Rhonda's injury. How annoying for her. Stuff like that is just irksome.
