This past Sunday, we realized we're officially two weeks away from heading for the wilds of Florida. I looked at our calendar to get a sense of what's going on during that seemingly long, yet all too short span of time and darned near had a panic attack over what I saw. Then I almost had a second panic attack when I realized some things hadn't even made it on to the calendar yet. I have three appointments with various doctors. THREE! They're all pretty innocuous, but they still require me to drop everything and actually show up. Since we're driving down, we have to have the car checked out from top to bottom, although if we break down on the highway near a Kia dealership, Dave probably wouldn't be too broken up over riding off into the Everglades in a new Sorento. Next week Henry's back to his final week of summer camp. Once we're back in town in August, we're going to be staring down the barrel of the gun commonly referred to as Kindergarten, which I'm equally excited about and in denial over, so that's the last I'm going to say about any of that for a few weeks.

This afternoon I had the first of my three doctors appointments. It was to have my stitches removed and naturally when Henry caught wind of the purpose, he was very enthusiastic about coming along with me. You know, for moral support. We're sitting in the exam room, reading books, when the doctor walks in. She comes over to Henry, puts her hands on her knees, and very sweetly says "So! I hear you're here to have some stitches removed!" Henry looked at her like she was nuts, and I sheepishly told her that actually, I was the proud owner of the stitches, although I could see how she would make that mistake. She thought that was pretty funny. When I told her how it happened, she said she'd never had an avocado before, and what do you do with them anyway? What don't you do with an avocado? Holly and I split one every day. Life without avocado in it is unimaginable.

Tomorrow we're going to drop the car off, then Thursday I'm off to the eye doctor. At least I think it's Thursday. I don't really want to know.
