Gore and blood and stitches - cool! I feel a lot better since they pulled the drain today.

This conversation occurred a few days ago:

Mike:  Daddy doesn’t wear diapers. Daddy wears underwear. See? Look! Then daddy puts on his shirt. And he puts on another shirt. Like this! Rawr rawr rawr. Superman, superman!

Zach:  No. Superdaddy!

Zach:  You got a shirt. Legs? 

Mike:  I have nothing on my legs, what am I going to do Zach? Look Zach, look at my pants.

Zach:  Look Daddy, a bug! Rawr.

Mike:  Bugs don’t go Rawr. They go click click.

Zach:  Oh

Foot surgery has been one of the more uncomfortable procedures. The physician called in a new prescription with twice the narc and half the Tylenol.  I nearly went over the 4,000 mg maximum dose for Tylenol without even thinking about it the other day.  I kind of wonder if pain medicine in combination with Tylenol is the best idea.

Eddie, Ethel and Speedy have finally brokered an unsteady truce for positions on the fleece portions of the bed. Now they nap, but there has been hissing and other peevish cattitudes all day.

This morning Zach cuddled on the bed with me while Mike got ready for work. We watched Micky Mouse Clubhouse 3 times. Mike brought us cinnamon toast breakfast in bed which included a sippy cup of milk for Zach and a Thermos of coffee for me. Zach and I thought that was pretty nice.

Post-op day 2. Toes above nose. Not advice to disregard, I have discovered. Ethel and Eddie are good company.

Last night I wanted to sleep alone because I was sleeping for about 3 hours, then up for a while. That lasted until 3 a.m. Then I had Mike, Zach and a few cats in bed with me. It was kind of fun and cozy. I wasn't sleeping that great anyway.

My girlfriends came over on Saturday night. It was a belated Christmas party, postponed because Karen's father passed away in December. I was really glad we waited for her to be able to come. We did a memory exchange instead of gifts. It was hilarious to hear everyone's memories of each other.

Zach and Mike went to Bass Pro for a couple hours to get away from the ruckus. They came home around 8:30 p.m. Mike put Zach's puppy pajamas on with the little dog feet. Zach came out and sat with the girls for a while. They really liked his puppy feet. He had a bowl of Fruit Loops. He took a different Fruit Loop to every person in the room. I love his socialization.

Notably, on 1/16 Mike had his annual review with Paul. Paul offered him the business, although I'm not sure details are outlined yet, and Mike will be named in the succession plan as the next in line to own the business.  It has many risks and benefits, but it is a big compliment for Mike and I am ready to support his decision.
