Sisyphus

I wonder if Sisyphus ever contemplated laying down and letting the damn rock roll over him. Every time I think it's over...

So, I went for my pre-op teaching appt at 1:00 the doctor was in a trauma surgery. Because we can't do the appt today and get the appropriate paper work my surgery can't be approved for Thursday.

She put me on the schedule for next Thursday and apologized. I burst into tears and in a impressive feet of insensitivity Mike looked at my tear stained face and said "but we knew it might not be Thursday. Why are you so upset?!?" Nice. I tried to explain that an appropriate reaction would be "That sucks. I'm sorry honey." And saving other commentary for when I'd calmed down. He responded to that but starting up again about how I was having the reaction he would have if we were sure about Thursday and it was changed. Um, WTF?!? Thank you for judging my reaction, making everything worse and totally ignoring what I just said.

I decided I needed to go somewhere and not talk about the surgery. I took Riley to see her buddy Jack and we all ended up seeing Babies. It was really cute and for anyone else with a baby Tuesday early evenings are a great time to see a movie. Riley and Jack were totally into it. Their first date.
