Got the referral

This weekend I got my form letter from Tricare regarding my referral to a cardiologist.

It's a civilian, hence the letter not the phone call. Based out of Memorial Hospital, and a branch I can easily get to myself by car if need be. \o/ Also, the referral's good through sometime in August.

Tom already checked his schedule for upcoming exercises and says there's nothing in the next month or so preventing him from taking care of the boys or getting them on/off the schoolbus if need be. So I'll call to schedule an appt. sometime this afternoon or tomorrow.

Right now I am heading to Babies R Us again. The fridge lock worked so well, that last night Mark made an exceedingly ill-advised attempt to break into the freezer. ::amused face-palm::

More adventures in Zodling-raising

About half an hour after he was officially supposed to be in bed, I discovered Mark standing on top of the highly curved and slippery lid to the toilet tank in the boys' bathroom, on tiptoe, trying to grab the bare shower curtain rod and dangle from it. (We had to remove the curtain because he kept standing on the rim of the tub, tugging the curtain until one end came loose, and dismembering the cheerful rubber monkeys on the curtain hooks. Sigh.)

Keep in mind, this is base housing. Brand spanking new, and much better quality than any other house I've ever lived in, but still. The curtain rod is cheap plastic, held in place solely by pressure. It is not up to the weight of a well-grown five year old.

That boy's going to wind up a Darwin Award winner someday. x_x

Fortunately, we don't use the shower in that bathroom much, so removing the rod and shoving it in a closet isn't a problem.

And now for something completely different. :D

Wandered by Metaquotes for the first time in a while, and came across this. Against Big Bird, The Gods Themselves Contend in Vain

I don't know what's better, Scott Lynch's awesome MSTing of this special, or the memories flooding back. :D :D :D

Now, off to fold clean towels on the dregs of my caffeine rush, and then to bed.
