In which the excitement never ends

As reported by [livejournal.com profile] kinzel yesterday, we here at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory are looking at some readjustments in the Regular Schedule (insofar as we can be said to have a regular schedule). The short form, for those who don't care to click the link, is that Steve will mid-next-week be attending hospital in Bangor for a day of tests and, on the next day, assuming the tests show clear, the implanting of a defibrillator.

You can see that this does kind of put a crimp in the Regular Schedule, which clearly read in part, "No Adventures" and also "Pellucid and Peaceful." Plainly, someone at the Scheduling Office is having their little joke.

There is a convalescence period after the installation; how long that will be depends on Certain Things that we cannot be privileged to know until the procedure has actually been done. Updates will happen on a Catch-as-Can basis. Good thoughts and patience, both, are much appreciated.


Continuing on the theme of excitement, a book arrived in the mail yesterday -- A Pictorial History of the Carousel. I very much thank the kind person who sent it; there was no note included, and the return address appears to be from a used bookstore in Conley, Georgia.


And! Lest I forget -- Exciting nearly beyond the telling of it was this morning's pilgrimage to Augusta, land of Bed, Bath, and Beyond, where we snabbled up a high-tech humidifier to replace our rather more low-tech unit that cocked up its toes last week.


...and I think that's enough excitement from me for an early Saturday afternoon.


What're you doing that exciting?

I need to get around to a posting of my own - my darling wife spent Thursday night in the hospital after being taken to the ER for a possible heart attack. No heart attack, but a diagnosis of "coronary disease" and a follow-up CT Angiogram in two weeks.

The doctor gave her a prescription for nitroglycerin - I'm hoping she doesn't have to take any of them.

Oh, dear. Fingers crossed for the best news possible.

Well, yes. But, if she does have to take one, better that she has them.
