The wife had Intralase Lasik last Friday.
I was freaked out. Turned out fine.
Youngest daughter winged a ball at wife's face the next day.
I freaked out. Missed the eyes, turned out fine. She can read the 20/20 eye chart line.
Eldest daughter fell out of bed Monday night.
Gashed the back of her head on the bottom corner of a dresser.
I freaked out and got a lot of blood all over me while I held her.
After a trip to the ER at Midnight and three staples, turned out fine.
Youngest smacked eldest in the back of the head with a (hard) toy dragon.
I freaked out. Wound didn't open, no new blood, just a headache for eldest, so, you know, fine.
Eldest wants to go to preschool today as there are only a few sessions left for this school year.
I take her and find out today they're doing an inflatable bouncy-house all day because it's storming outside.
I freaked out. I'll find out in an hour if anything got bumped loose, but I haven't gotten an emergency call yet.
She has a follow-up doctor appointment today anyway.
Wife has a follow-up eye appointment tomorrow.
Me, I've about exhausted my freak-out for the week.
Plenty of Boulevard Brewery mixed-packs, Bacardi Solara Rum, vodka, and tequila though... so I might make it yet.
Sought and Unfound
I did it to hurt myself
Because you used to too
I crawled into your head
To feel what you felt inside there
I wanted to know
I had to see from your eyes
And I hurt me just to feel
To know what was real
I didn't tell anyone
Because then it might stop
And I wanted it to go
Until the end was in sight
But I never did find it
I never did see
Cuz deep inside you
Was nothin' for me to believe
So I started to flap
My own dirty wings
And I got leveled out
From a sharp trajectory
I could see where you hit
Babe you sure left your mark
You didn't want to stop
Didn't have it in you to quit
And I respect how you played it
When you were the train
And I was walking on the tracks
Found out you're alright now
Yeah, you made it out too
And I can't think of a thing
to say If I ever ran into you
So, I'll never look you up
We won't pass on the street
Don't have to look at the shadows
I'll let you keep it discreet.
You're the locomotive no longer
And I'm well off the tracks.
I never did find it
I never did see
Cuz deep inside you
Was nothin' for me to believe
Had a spare moment that coincided with the eldest daughter finishing a jigsaw puzzle.
Took her outside in the sun.
Started doing jumping jacks.
Got her to join in.
The laughing might have been more exercise than the jacks.
Until a sojourning pill-bug became more fascinating.
And my eyes shut with stinging sweat.
