Surreal Hours

Wed: put Dean on the plane to Houston, took overactive dog to the vets, slept well
Thurs: 5 am - Wham, the stomach flu - while trying to recover dog-sitter reports that Tessie has taken apart her house - we're beginning to think it may be thyroid
Fri: try to summon enough energy to re-make bed, clean up in kitchen a bit; 5 pm - sink stops up.
Sat: feeling good, Liquid Plumber hasn't worked over night, sink still stopped up; Tessie comes home, back in jeans after nearly a year, feeling good; 3 pm - area wide power outage
4 pm - attend book signing in the semi-dark, power comes back on in the mall
6 pm - come home, still no power here, settle in with candles and book light
8 pm - Dean calls, plane an hour late
11 pm - Dean calls, finally here and can't connect with friend picking him up
11:10 pm - Dean calls, he has walked, she has driven around - they finally connect
midnight - Dean arrives home, power comes back on, a degree of normalcy returns. Phew.
Sun: Dean is able to repair the sink himself - and I will never put rice down the disposal again!
