And then I walked into the vacuum cleaner

And ten minutes later I was upright again and looking for bandaids, ice and pain meds.

And a new vacuum cleaner.

It was not the best timing, with so much to do in the next few days, but once my wonky left thumb decided to stop twitching, I decided that nothing was broken and the wonky day continued.

I'm fine, I think I have been super tense all week and my pratfall has broken that tension.

Connor did well at Tuesday's CT scan.  He was super nervous and nearly decapitated me in the weird door at the hospital, but I saw it coming and avoided it.

We won't have the scan results for another two weeks though.  I have a copy of the films and try as I might, I can't tell a thing from looking at them. 

Connor is much more relaxed since the scan is behind him.  It helped that we ran into the nurse mom of one of friends just after the scan and then a half dozen of his Swing Choir friends at the breakfast place.  He also went to a mini class reunion last night and has discovered that distance does make everything better. 

My sister and Miss Phoebe are here.  Their arrival has made the house feel lighter and happier and Gary is loving having a dog follow him around. 

It's all good, just busy-busy.  I'm charging my camera battery now, - photos soon.

I think it's a sign that you should not be vacuuming. Clearly, it's not safe. Perhaps it's time to teach the doggie how to do it.

I'm so glad you are feeling better and that Connor has been able to relax, too.

Photos would be nice, but I'm not pressuring you or anything...

You have been missed! The very, very bestest of Holidays to you and yours!

Vacuums dangerous. I've successfully delegated all vacuuming to my husband since before we were married 11 years ago. I can really recommend it. Of course it does help to have an asthma attack every time you are in the presence of an active vacuum. Merry Christmas.

Happy holidays to you and yours, health, peace and happiness to all of you!

Rest the thumb and enjoy the visitors. Lots of love to you all.

Pleased the aftermath of the scan is a bit calmer. He will have a lot more 'world experience' than his peers - his maturity may be hard to match.

Glad that the thumb will recover & that you avoided decapitation. Looking forward to the good news on the scan.

So the vacuum was the proverbial other shoe dropping and now you could relax? Just me?

Nothing but good news for Connor!
