Well, today I left home around 7:45 after getting Jill and the kids off to school. I swung by Underwood to pick mom up, and we headed off for Alexandria to get Marcia.

I saw Marcia's new apartment for the first time, and helped her move a few boxes into her storage crawlspace while mom used the facilities. Then, we were off for the cities!

We drove straight through, using our trusty Mapquest directions to get right to our hotel. It was lunchtime, and there was a Baker's Square basically in our hotel parking lot. So, we walked over there for lunch. I had a Reuben. Yum!

We caught the 1:00 shuttle from the hotel to the hospital, and our afternoon whirlwind of appointments began. First a consultation with the doctor's nurse, then across the street to be fitted for a neck brace, then BACK to the hospital to see if our hospital had sent her MRI back to the cities (they hadn't), so it was then DOWN to the MRI place for another MRI. Whew!

Back on the shuttle to the hotel, and again to Baker's Square. The sun is finally shining, but yet it's raining, and there's a beautiful rainbow over the hotel.

Siri got her haircut tonight, and I'm waiting for Jill to email a picture of her to me!

We get free wireless broadband at the hotel, so I took advantage of it and ordered a new regulator for my cycle. Hopefully that will solve my electrical problems.

Tomorrow we get up at 4 am, and leave for the hospital about 4:45. Mom has to be there by 5:30, and surgery starts at 7:30. I suspect we'll get to head home around 1:00.

If you're one of my students reading this at school, leave me a comment and let me know how it's going! I miss you guys!
