in the time-space continuum if I'm up before ANdi...how could this have happened?

Good morning, CG!
Who knows, maybe she partied into the wee hours ;)

Ah yes, Jim and I are well known party animals. I did stay up until 11:00 p.m. though which is the wee hours for me.

Tee-hee.  !1:00 pm = wee hours?

Oh wait, that's how I felt last night too.  :)

What are you and curly up to this weekend?

Hi CG,
Laptop gave up on me earlier.
We'll head up to her place soon and probably hit the movies later.

Sounds good.  What movie?
by CabinGirl on Sat Jul 5th, 2008 at 12:19:12 PM EST
[ Parent ]
Not quite decided, we'll also check with some friends.
Could be Wall-e, Hancock, or something else.

asklet's trip to Norway yesterday did not proceed, pains returned. Don't know when to reschedule him, since he still is not quite up to par.

That's a little nerve-wracking, trying to decide whether to take the risk and send him and have that flare up again.  I hope he feels better soon.

Do you have to follow up with the doctor again?

by CabinGirl on Sun Jul 6th, 2008 at 07:53:23 AM EST

Well, he saw one on Friday again - white blood cell count normal both times, so that should rule out appendicitis.
Much better yesterday and appetite returned, so he may soon be able to travel - problem may be to find a seat.

you were in the cafe before me. You have to have gotten up before 6:10 a.m. to have been up before me. ;P

Morning.
