Live from Atlanta . . .
Friday, October 24th, 2008Actually, I’m live from Marietta this morning. Kimberlie has a professional conference today and I’m tagging along. We usually tag along with each other to these sorts of things, just to have a nice family getaway — usually at our employer’s expense. She has been to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and soon to be Colorado with me, and I’ve been to Atlanta, Marietta, Helen, and Atlanta again with her. I’m obviously clearly getting the short end of the stick here. Anyway, she is skipping the Saturday sessions because we have way too much going on this weekend in central Georgie.
I feel sort of “naked” because I left my camera at home. It’s not like there’s anything to take pictures of — it’s raining and the kids aren’t doing anything cute and the most exciting place we plan to visit is IKEA.
Kimberlie’s foot seems to be doing better. We should have just waited it out instead of going to the urgent care place, but then again hindsight is 20-20. That urgent care place is clearly a pill-mill (and maybe a work-excuse mill too). They offered her all kinds of good prescriptions, which she promptly turned down. Her mother is a hypochondriac who is addicted to prescription drugs so we’ve seen first hand the impact it has on families. After turning down the opioids, the next thing the doctor wanted to do was offer work excuses. Luckily, we don’t work at places that require documentation every time we need to be out of work. I can’t imagine a job like that. Anyway, if anyone wants some narcotics or a work excuse, be sure to visit Houston Health Care’s Med Stop.
By the way, one of the best feelings in the world is when your toddler wakes up and runs to you and jumps in your arms — even if it pauses your blogging. Happy Friday from a drizzly Marietta!
