Hello? Hello?

So again, she says, "Oh right - we have to check and see if we have any messages" as she picks up the phone to call her voicemail. And for the 3rd time this week I remind her, well, no - if you have messages the light will be blinking red....which falls on deaf ears.

"....Nope, no new messages!"

Why do I bother?

Also today the other one comes in saying she just got back from the doctor and she has to have an "octocsopy surgery first, before the real one. Is that how you say it?" What???

So after she explains it I ask, oh, you mean arthroscopic surgery? Yeah! That's it, was I saying it wrong?

Seriously? You work in a health office. I can't comprehend sometimes.

Chocolate??

Today I heard a story about "Godivas". Oh you talked about chocolate?? Nope. She meant "cadavers". She just kept saying "godivas". You get the idea though...

Meanwhile, the lamaze techniques have not abated because this one is petrified of an MRI so much I thought she might faint at the thought. Also not only do I have to walk her to the closet but now I have to carry all the sharps containers because they make her queasy. Really? these are heavy duty plastic containers securely fastened. Get. A. Grip.
