>Here is what happened: Mom might have an aortic aneurysm or a very large tumor in her belly. She has an MRI scheduled for Wednesday and then probably a surgery date. I will be making trek down for the surgery.

So, M says we are still going she ‘needs’ it. I am not getting excited again until we are there. Maybe not even then. Maybe not even until we actually get to Tavern-on-the-Green. Sigh, I should have listened to Eeyore.

rain tomorrow?
I cannot believe with how bright and sunny and warm it is today, that tomorrow they are forecasting floods! Yes flooding, I am not kidding you.

When M picked me up she told me she had gone to Target, she looked all please with herself, she told me she bought clear plastic rain coats for us for tomorrow! She is all psyched up to go. So I guess I should be excited. I am trying to. I was rude to Mel, I yelled at her in an e-mail and she was trying to make me feel better. I will have to post lots of pics of the rain tomorrow! Right now I am going to post pics of my ankle chain.
