We'll get back to that in a moment, though. In the morning I got up and made a huge breakfast of two breakfast sammitches with egg, cheese, and sausage (bonky stick). I also drank about 20 litres of water. I did all this because I wasn't allowed to eat or drink after 7:30 AM.
I went to work as usual. At one point Jessica had me take the garbage to the dumpster up the block and around the corner. This was no ordinary dumpster, though; it was a gigantic mechanical monstrosity with no noticeable openings. I had to call her to have her walk me through how to open it up. Also, in the later afternoon I channeled my Hallmark training and professionally wrapped two mail-order items.
I picked Carrie up for lunch, but of course I couldn't eat anything because it was after 7:30 AM. My blood sugar was consequently crashing and I was getting PLENTY grumpy. We drove to the hospital where I said I had some serious concerns about the procedure (I had done a lot of independent research and discovered a whole bunch of stuff that the doctor hadn't talked to me about). So the nurse got the doctor on the phone and we decided to postpone the surgery until she'd had more time to talk to me about it.
Fine. Good. The nurse gave me some cranberry juice to help with my blood sugar because I'm certain I was obviously in a very bad mood at that point. Then we went home where Carrie made the Mandarin chicken for a late lunch. Then we napped for a couple of hours before Carrie got ready for class, to which I took her around 6:30.
In the evening I set up some Cafepress stuff for Thirsty Robots, did a load of dishes, and worked on Valentine's Day stuff while watching Conan the Barbarian.
Carrie called me to pick her up around 10:30, and so I did. I continued to work on Velentine stuff for a while after we got back, and then I went to bed. Carrie played Tetris DS via WFC for the first time, and said it was very fun. She seemed to have better luck with people not dropping out than I do with Mario Kart DS.
