Gloom and Doom = over?

Well, Grandma finally had her surgery *today*. It was supposed to be yesterday, but her potassium level was down to a dangerously low level, so they put it off until today. The surgery went quite well, though. She should be in the hospital through Christmas- that’s the only sad part- but all in all, things look great for her, and that’s the most important part.

Today was a fun day. I spent the majority of the day doing little bits of fun things. I went to Megs’ school party today. God bless kindergarten teachers! There is no amount of money you could pay me to deal with a bunch of screaming 5 and 6 year olds all day.

Then I went to work, both of them. I’m always cheered up when I can go see the people at the ROC #2, and it’s also good to see my Mr. Rogers-like boss, who got me a big box of Ghirardelli Squares for Christmas. Oh, and I got my invitation to the office Christmas party yesterday. Seems they forgot to put me on the ROC distribution list, but it wasn’t intentional that I wasn’t invited. Suuuuuure.

We went out to Minami Japanese Restaurant for dinner tonight. I love me some hibachi, and while we’re pretty broke due to the whole, “failure to process your invoices” thing, I managed to scrape up the change. It’s all Shauna’s fault, she wrote about the whole, going to a Japanese Steakhouse thing today. I was craving the food and I also *really* wondered how Nate would react.

Fortunately, he didn’t react like Pea, he was a bit scared but he held my hand. As we drove home he told me the fire was his favorite part. Of course, Nate wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, that might have something to do with it.

So today I am feeling cheerier than I have the entire past week. Thanks for all the good thoughts, prayers, and everything else. I really think it carried me through all this.
