Well, Lori was in and out of surgery with no issues but we didn’t get the desired results we were hoping for. Her neck felt better but her head was still hurting. She headed into work around 11 and I picked her up about 5:30. The doc, who is a really good guy who really cares and wants to help, told us not to give up hope just yet as unbeknownst to us, it could get better in a week or so. We thought if it didn’t work right away, it wasn’t going to work, which is usually the case. But Dr Evans said there’s still hope. So, we’ll “hope” it gets better, but it’s a small chance.
The kids had basketball last night meaning I had to drive to and from school like 3 or 4 times yesterday. This morning I’m off to Boulder and Lori is taking Ty to his orthodontist appointment at 8 am and then to school. She’s taking today off as Dr C is in surgery most of the day. Knowing her, she’ll still work from home.
Snow tomorrow, whoo hoo. It’s been nice having this indian summer but with the kids off next week, snow will be welcome so they can hit the mountain. It was nice though having the extra month or two of good weather as now winter will be 4 or 5 months long instead of the normal 6 plus. Bad news is I have to go buy their ski passes for the winter which even though discounted for them being local students, is still like $800 or so. I told my Mom, paying for Lori’s procedure was a gamble, one we had to take, just like being in Vegas, we just didn’t hit the jackpot.
I made a roast last night and today when I get home I’ll make my “famous” (only to me) sausage and beef chili. It’s pretty good, if I do say so myself, ha.
Politics, good God. I never knew the dems were such sore losers. The loser Senator from California (Boxer) submitted a bill to abolish the electoral college yesterday as they didn’t like the outcome of the election. Of course we’ve had this system for 240 years, and this won’t go anywhere so it’ll just be a waste of time, but I guess since they lost it’s ok to mess with the founding fathers and the Constitution. Poor little democrats, let’s give them a safe space where they can all go grieve. I’m sure all their kids will cherish their participation trophy’s from school sports this year. Turns out Trump is probably going to win the popular vote so I suppose next they’ll want to outlaw the popular vote too! The dems blatantly came out yesterday and said “here’s our plan to divide the GOP next year”. I could not believe this, one major political party plotting to sabotage the other for their own gain. Forget about the people right? Good God, what a joke. They have lost but just cannot accept it. No matter which side you’re on, nothing like this happened either time Obama was elected. It’s pretty easy to tell who the adults are in the room. Enough said.
Guess I’ll run. Hope everyone is well, have a great day, a week from tomorrow is Thanksgiving and then Christmas will be here soon. God Bless.
