10-second happenings
No, none of these things took 10 seconds to do. If they had, everyone involved would have been much happier. It's just a random list of significant things.
1. Babies! Jason's sister gave birth to Gracey, the first cousin to be born on his side of the family, on Aug. 20. Fifty hours of labor followed by an emergency C-section. (See? Not 10 seconds)
2. Babies! My brother and his wife gave birth this morning to Josiah by scheduled C-section (more than 10 seconds, less than 50 hours). He is the third cousin on my side of the family.
Both babies were 8 lbs. 10 oz. (cool, huh?) and all are doing fine.
3. Drugs! I stopped at Eckerd on my way home to get some Sudafed (see yesterday's morning post). When I got to the Sudafed aisle, there was a little tear-off pad for all the different types of Sudafed that said "take this slip to the pharmacy to purchase this product". So, I took the slip to the pharmacy to purchase the product, where I had to show my driver's license, write down my address, and sign for it! Seriously? For Sudafed? What's up?
4. No kids! My parents have whisked the kids off to some kind of Scouting/Caravan program at the church near their house for the evening, which is lucky for me because I'm about to keel over from exhaustion. Time for some homemade Mulligatawny Stew (which is one of the 22 freezer meals I made last weekend, and which also took more than 10 seconds) and a movie.
