In general work life is fine, but I'm still more stressed than normal - here's why:



- Stress: Bossie and I are both on vacation next week and have major deadlines to meet before we're off.  He's already said he may be back in on Monday, but hasn't said I need to be.  



- Lack of sleep:  DS is recovering from his surgery - still in a lot of pain, and we're waking up every 4 hours to give him his pain meds (he wakes us).



- Stress:  DS surgery, period!



- The unknown:  We had planned the vaca time so it would be before the surgery, but then they had a cancellation and we thought it would be best to have it done now so DS wouldn't have to go back to school and have a bunch of 7th grade brats asking what's wrong with his weenie.  But now that the surgery is done, we have no idea what our vaca plans are going to be now.  We can't go anywhere that involves activities he can't do, or he'll feel guilty that he's depriving us of having this fun: swimming, amusement parks (rides), bicycling or horseback riding, and probably he won't be able to do a whole lot of walking at one time, either.



Enough?
