My apartment is eerily quiet.
I've had my niece here for a few days, and now that she's gone, it's really quiet here. Which I was looking forward to, but just seems a little odd now. Denise had surgery on Wednesday, and they let her go home just before noon today--the surgery went better than expected. As Denise's mom said, they were due for something to go better than expected. The day of surgery itself was no fun, though, as her surgery kept getting moved back and back and they were afraid they were going to have to reschedule. And then she didn't get a room until 2 a.m. o.O Mike stayed with her but the rest of us abandoned ship around eight, once her surgery was over and the people who were allowed in to see her (which did not include me or Michaela) had seen her.
Anyway, Michaela was remarkably well-behaved and we both had fun, and Denise gets to sleep in her own bed tonight, so it's kind of a win all around. Although it will be nice to sleep tonight without certain small people taking their half of the bed out of the middle. *g* (Amazingly, she SLEPT--six hours Wednesday night and nearly eight last night--this is pretty unheard of. She didn't sleep at my house when she was a baby, much less since then.)
I've spent the day since her parents picked her up playing with my new toy, which is a USB turntable that makes mp3s out of records. I have my family's old LPs, and I've been merrily recording things and being all content and happy listening to songs that I haven't heard in ages. I will share soon, if anybody but me likes morbid country songs and songs about outlaws that are probably more sympathetic to the outlaws than they should be. Man, I love these things.
I haven't even looked at tardis_bigbang yet, or done anything else online. *goes to talk to people*
