My mom flew out last night, and Kevin headed to work as normal this morning leaving me all by myself with Leina. Yesterday, I had my post surgery consult, and my surgeon told me I had healed enough to go back to work. He even offered to write a letter to my boss explaining my absence. I declined the letter seeing that my current boss pretty much only understands the words “dog”, “boobie”, and “teeth” right now.

And so, this morning, Leina and I waved good-bye to dada through the front window. After this, we proceeded on to Cheerios per our normal routine. After snorking about twenty or so, Leina got a very serious look on her face. She was either trying to remember the Pythagorum Theorem or she was pooping a mighty poop. After about five minutes of grunting and brow furrowing, a horrific smell drifted from her nether region. I looked around for someone to pass her off to but the only other being in the kitchen was Artie and he gave me a look like….”there aren’t enough meat sticks in the world lady”… and promptly headed for the sofa.

And so I had to change Leina’s poopy diaper ALL BY MYSELF. Then, I had to dress her and put her into the stroller ALL BY MYSELF. We proceeded to Safeway where we bought lots of fruit for my little monkey. At the checkout counter, I had to pay for my purchase WITH MY OWN MONEY. We next headed to Starbucks where I picked up my morning espresso, but I had forgotten how hard it is to push and stroller and carry a coffee ALL BY MYSELF. When we arrived home, I had to PUT AWAY MY OWN GROCERIES and even worse, all the dishes from breakfast were still sitting on the table and so, as soon as I finish typing this entry, I’m going to have to go WASH MY OWN DISHES.

This is so outrageous! I’m still not clear who exactly decided to let my mom go home but boy do I have a bone to pick with them. Hello, people? Do you realize I’m going to have to go back to doing everything ALL BY MYSELF????

Does anyone know if you can elect to have your appendix removed even if it’s healthy? Or perhaps tonsils? How many non-essential organ can one lose if needed……
