Today

Today began at 5:45 am with the ear piercing squall of a toddler who did not yet want to be awake, but who certainly did not want to be asleep alone. She screamed until her father brought her to our bed, where she quickly made herself comfortable between our two bodies, laying vertically to that her head was on him and her feet were shoved into my back.

Soon, she was squirming around, spinning and pressing against the two of us until nobody could sleep anymore and we all decided it was time to get up.

Bryan drove us all into town where I was to have my MRI. However, upon arrival it was determined I had already had an MRI in the hospital (I have little recollection of much of my hospital stay) and thus the doctor had decided to cancel the MRI and await further instructions from the neurologist. In the meantime I am to continue taking the pills and not drive for fear I will seize again.

Bryan had already left so I had to call him to turn around to pick me up.

We then went to the hardware store to retrieve spray foam for the vents to block the rodent stink from the crawl space until he has the time to go spelunking.

We are home now, he has sprayed the foam, the candles are lit and he has requested that I help him tear out the wall in the garage. I reminded him that I can barely hold a pencil, let alone a hammer, but this seemed to be of little consequence to my husband. So I will go out and cheer him on, but there will be, I assure you, no wall removal by me.
