much much better day

I want to thank everyone for your nice notes wishing C well. She's doing far better today than I (or the doctor we saw in the ER) thought she would be and I honestly and frankly believe that that has a lot to do with all the people who were praying for her. She's basically her normal self with a minor sore throat, and the laceration is looking so much better and less frightening. Incidentally, whenever I've told anyone on the phone today that she is "doing much better", my drama queen has dolefully, emphatically stated, "no, I am not." You would have to be there to fully grasp the pitifulness. She has the makings of a competitive-caliber hypochondriac.

Overall, today was quite a decent day really. Nothing out of the ordinary... which, considering yesterday and its non-stop stress of one sort or another, is a welcome relief. The only excitement we had today was when the pest control guy called at 9:30 and asked if he could come spray inside "before noon", at which we began frantically cleaning up to get things ready, and he showed up at 10:15. When we were so not ready it was not even funny. ah well. At least it wasn't my father-in-law. (if you want to make your wife nuts, inform her ten minutes before you must leave for lunch with her extremely fussy in-laws that they are coming by afterward to visit, and then act all astonished when that upsets her. Go ahead, try it. But don't tell her you got the idea from me, OK?)
