Xmas Trip to Gina's

This has turned out to be longest trip I haven't taken yet. I'm so tired of this trip, and we still haven't left yet! Something just keeps coming up. First, I put things off for a day because I'd had my gum grafting and didn't feel like travelling. Then they got an ice storm and Gina's house didn't have any electricity for days. We were supposed to leave this morning, but Rudi wet my bed last night (which I discovered at about 2 AM) and then Mary had hallucinations and heart burn all night. This was followed, as it has been for the last two months, by diarrhea this morning. However, the diarrhea has continued all day, so of course we couldn't travel. That was fine since I had to deal with washing all the sheets and blankets, turning my matress over, washing the dog... Well, it was my fault. I didn't let the dogs out last night. He usually comes to me and lets me know that he has to go out, but he didn't do that last night. Instead, he got in bed with Mary and didn't want to get out when I tried to take him out. I should have just picked him up and carried him out. Live and learn, right?

I just glanced over at Mary. I knew she'd been messing with my cell phone for the last five minutes or so, but at that moment she also had a pair of scissors in her hand! I asked her what she was up to and it disturbed her so that she couldn't remember. She's so funny! I bet she was going to clean out the edges around the keys or something.

I just want to take this opportunity to tell anyone who's interested: don't have gum grafting done unless you absolutely have to and only if you dont' have anything else to do for at least a week! It is no fun.
