So Jen's in surgery this afternoon, hopefully. If they don't cancel on her because the doctor had other emergencies crop up. It feels weird to say "hopefully she's in surgery" but I think and hope that it will help her feel better in the long run. Still, I'm worrying about her and missing her awfully. It's been too long since I've seen her and it will still be another couple of weeks before I can see her again.

Quick update

She's out, they did part of the surgery but have to go back in at another time.

Ray is being a jerk again. I called him because he didn't return Rosa's cough medicine, he called me back on the cell, but I didn't answer and the call faded. So when I called back, he immediately started in on me "what good is it having a cell phone if you never answer it!" and when I told him what had happened he didn't believe me, then he said "what does Rosa do when you're on the internet." I told him just because I'm connected doesn't mean I'm sitting in front of the computer.

On the other hand, he is at least decent in one way. The insurance company finally paid up the $500 deductible from my accident in November--except they sent the check to him, and made it out to him as well because the insurance had been in his name at that point. He signed the check and gave it to me without any fuss: I didn't even know it had come. Well, he did fuss, but only about the insurance company bugging him and involving him in my claim.

I can really use that money right now, too. I've spent a lot of money on the house project--a bunch more just yesterday: I ordered three doors to be installed. Entry doors for the kitchen, basement, and garage.

Gods it's been a long time

Finally got to chat with Paul for a while this evening. Gaming didn't happen, which is depressing, especially since Jen needed the diversion, but he logged on late and I was still here so we got to talk for a change. Now that I don't have daytime IM access, I hardly ever get to talk to him anymore.

I miss that constant connection. Even if I don't talk to my friends every day, somehow just knowing they and I are online at the same time feels a little bit like being in the same room doing different things, because the moment something interesting crops up we can mention it to each other. Even just seeing their names in the buddy list is somehow reassuring: still alive, still my friend.
