A Disappearing Event Horizon

Today, in all honesty I've been taken over by events.
Event 1 - Slept late. Needed it. Not gonna whinge. Blood was 6.0 by the way.

Event 2 - Day Job. Not entirely sure what happened there, but sort of forgot it was Monday...I think by virtue of being here, rather than on a train. Entirely missed the morning meeting, which was weird.

Event 3 - The Business. had to go and get some flyers made lunchtime. Got there, agreed to pre-pay, bugger said "we don't take cards, only cheques..." had to schlepp back home and back up the hill to them...which was about as much exercise as I got today!

Event 4 - Dad. Was gonna do some biking this evening. Then something clicked. I'd texted Ma earlier in the day to find out how Dad was. Several hours later, there'd been no response. That's always, always dodgy. When she got back to me, it was to say that dad had been re-admitted to hospital with what they were calling "a very bd infection throughout his body". Eek! He's had one dose of "urgent" antibiotics, is getting the second lot probably as I write this, then being flooded with fluids, cos he can't actually keep even water down right now. Three units of blood coming his way tomorrow. Ma came here for dinner and decompression, and we played "Find The Father" on the phone with the hospital - he'd been shifted from where he'd been admitted, and eveybody seemed to think he'd gone to one unit...except that unit. They said he'd gone somewhere else, but when they tried to connect us, we ended up connected to the early universe and a big long beep. Redialled, went straight to the end of the line, and eventually tracked him down. Allegedly, he's comfortable right now. I'd be freaking amazed if that were the case, quite honestly, as he hasn't been comfortable in recent memory, but so much for hospital jargon.

Event 4 - The Fridge Freezer. Longer-term readers will remember that the reason d and I have been turning the apartment upside down and inside out for the last few weekends - even to the extent of cancelling guests - is that we've been making room for a fridge and a chest freezer. Welllll that's not happening now. We're minutes away from ordering a single stand-alone unit...which means much of what we've done in the kitchen may be undone again...or may not. We're not sure. There was much discussion and comparison on websites, and searching of discount codes, and checking of balances, and other complicated palaver. There were apparently Reasons for this. I'm a bloke, so basically a cave full of icicles is good enough for me. Phrases like "superchill" and "frost free" are pretty much lost on me, but I've been taken through the ropes this evening. there were even online videos and 360 degree image tours. So if you want to know what it feels like to be a piece of cheese surrounded by vegetables when the lights go out...I can actually tell you now.

So all in all, I've been pushed along on a wave of events, and now it's time to go to bed. Maybe tomorrow I can haul my ass out of bed and go walking before work...maybe...
