It is official.

Richard’s surgery is on Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013.

I have to be at Providence Hospital in Portland at 6AM. Do you know of any better example of cruel and unusual punishment? Those Catholics have the driest sense of humor. Or is that sickest?

Just when you think things are looking pretty peachy, don’t you just love the drama that life throws your way? A month ago I would have told you that everything looked pretty good. I still missed Ralph and I needed to do something about my hand, but it was all under control. Under control, my ass. It was all just waiting to break loose.

And now, I have to be in Portland at 6AM on 5/22/13. It just isn’t fair.

Oh, and don’t forget Richard. He has a pretty big day ahead of him on the 22nd, too.

The humor may be strained, but I’m trying!
