Wow! Thanks for all the love on my salad. Believe me, it’s just as yummy as it looks! It’s super easy to make, it looks fancy and it’s delicious - I highly recommend it.
This morning I am up early to take MisterMoonbeam for his procedure. He’s having an ablation in Arlington, so it’s a drive - and during rush hour. Ugh. I actually could have slept in more, but our blind cat, Poppy, brought me a sock, a toy unicorn and a crinkle ball and buried them under my bedcovers. I awoke when I touched the crinkle ball, which totally freaked me out. Poppy was there, and she dug her claws into my hand - apparently I should be appreciative of her presents. Ugh. This was at 4 am so I am not very happy! I got up to pee and now I am in the living room, half awake.
MisterMoonbeam is pretty scared about the procedure today. He called his kids and his parents. He made sure they all had my number. He told me he told his kids to “buy a house” if he doesn’t make it. Sigh. I’m actually anxious about it myself. He gave me his PIN number to his phone and debit card - which I already have but never remember since I don’t really ever use either. I told him if I took money from his bank account after he died, I’d get in trouble - there’s an actual form that allows me legal access, so after he makes it through this procedure, we will get it filled out.
He did add me as beneficiary to his 401(k) and his life insurance accounts, but he doesn’t yet have a will of any sort. That takes more effort. When I think of that, it makes me a little nervous, but honestly, anything here that his family members might want that is his, they would be welcome to take if he passed. I wouldn’t want drama, that’s for sure. Oh, I am also his health care proxy. We did that a while back. Should probably find those forms and bring them with us, in case.
I am sure he will be okay, as this is a common procedure. Still, there’s nothing like a surgery to get the wheels turning and focus you on mortality.
The past few weeks have put me through the ringer, between MisterMoonbeam’s tachycardia and SirGawain’s high blood pressure and hypokalemia.
Oh, BugGirl is really sick now too. At the furniture delivery last night, she didn’t show, and the women who were there said she had been in bed all day sleeping and vomiting. They said she had a Covid test done but that wasn’t it. She should call me today.
That said, the delivery itself went great and everything fit. My new kitten, Rollo, loves the table - he couldn’t stop exploring around it and climbing all over the base! He fell asleep under it, the cutie! Anyway, the rug and the table look good in the room, and the desk & four bookcases are now awaiting attention, but no one has any time to put anything together. If MisterMoonbeam is complication free today, I might go over and assemble things tomorrow or Friday!
