Awake, mostly dressed, and waiting for the plumber.

The plumber, who was supposed to be here between 9 and 10AM has yet to arrive. Calls to his office result in an answering machine. I am getting less and less happy as the minutes tick by.

Heyla, docjeff, can u haz mail yet? Just checking. I sent something the day before Thanksgiving, and wondered if it had arrived yet.

Today is Day 5 of work. Switching my days around T-day made this week longer. Next week I work 4 on with 1 off and the week after, I work 5 again in order to make my 40 hours. I miss having a regular schedule.

Last night sucked. We had a slot tourney and everybody in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma decided to show. People were rude last night. There was a weird vibe in the place. My cage had the heater going, despite the fact that it was in the 70's outside and we were roasting. I finally scored permission to roll up my sleeves around 6:30. Normally we can't. It doesn't "look professional".

I'm in the same cage again today. I'm hoping it's not as hot in there. It should also be a little slower. No major drawings or anything happening today. I could use a slow night. We've been short handed and busy the last 4 nights.

I got a weird phone call from my Doctor yesterday. They called at 6 in the evening, asking me to contact the office as soon as possible.

I saw him back on the 24th for my bronchitis and he did a chest x-ray and full lab work. I'm wondering if something came back funky. Of course, when I remembered to call, they were already gone to lunch.

Virginia is still sick. She went to the ER finally last week, got injected antibiotics, and a diagnosis of Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and COPD. She told me last night she was feeling a little better over the last couple of days, but yesterday and today it looks like her illness is making a comeback.

I still hadn't been able to get over there and do anything about her hair. She has a massive mat on the back because she hasn't been taking proper care of it while she is sick. Part of me feels bad about it, but when the mat was initially happening, I was sick as well, and as my neighbor pointed out, I would do no one any good if I caught what she has, on top of my own illness.

Demon's gone over there to take a shower. She took a bottle of deep conditioner with her, maybe she'll see if she can get any headway made. Virginia told me she'd been to 2 different hair care places which told her she'd have to get her hair cut. That there's no way to comb out this mat. I suppose I'll know more when Demon gets home.

Yesterday was wonderful. Sunny, 78*, lovely fall day. Today it's cold, windy, and while it's sunny, I really just want to go back to bed. It's supposed to be bitterly cold the next few nights although they say it'll be in the 50's and 60's during the day.

Never got a call back from the plumber. But apparently Father-in-Law is planning on coming over at 8:30 in the morning to crawl under the house. No, there's no guarantee that he can fix the tub. But he feels it's necessary to try before calling a professional.

Don't get me wrong. If he can fix it, I'll love him forever. But there was a dead mouse in the pipe. There is God only knows what else in there, living or dead. Plumbing can be costly to repair, especially if first *looked at* by non-professionals.

I did call my Doctor. Apparently they want me to repeat my chest X-ray tomorrow. I'm hoping that this is just to make sure the bronchitis is gone and not for some other reason.

I'm OFF!!!!! For two lovely days. Good thing too. People were starting to get on my last nerve.

~*~

I have to figure out my plans tomorrow. I have a sneaky suspicion that I have been chosen to chauffeur Virginia to get her hair cut and possibly to a clinic or the ER again. This would make me not happy because this was never asked or directly mentioned. Just some odd phrasing that makes me think I am going to be called in the morning....

Plans this weekend include the never ending cycle of cleaning in the kitchen. Gotta do the catboxes. Phew. Should do the bedroom. And I have crafty things....so I'll be making earrings and pins for work this next 2 days.
