Abby Tales

So Abigail is still in the hospital and her dad is still sleeping in an empty bed with an empty house.

It's been a long time since I've been alone like this, and compounded by the fact that it's my own house. Ugh. I miss my children and wife terribly. It wasn't that bad when I was on a trip for work or Magic or whatever, because I could come home to them.

Now I come home and there isn't much there except work to do for StarCity, so I work for StarCityGames (I'll have video articles up the rest of this week). It's nice to keep me busy, but at the same time I would be making these videos anyway, except every half hour or so I'd get interrupted by a kid asking to paint or play a game or requesting juice or something.

Hrmph. So I now know a small smidgen of what Jacob may feel as his big bed no longer supports two persons.

Oh well, I'm a loner by nature who goes stir-crazy when I actually am alone (it's the weirdest thing ever--just ask my wife).

Abby had her surgery yesterday where they cut open the abcess on her bottom and drained out the grossness. The docs then packed the wound with antibacteral gauze (now cherry-flavored) and that will probably need to be changed sometime today.

The doctors want to keep her another day, to which I say bah.

Did I mention I need to move this weekend? And that this week was the week we were planning on performing moving preparations? That's now officially shot to hell. I expect a very painful, or at least sweaty, weekend ahead.

So until then, feel free to YouTube it up.

Also, I don't know why, but this Batman Lego stuff makes me absolutely giddy in a very geek-like way. I was never even a 'lego guy' growing up, nor did I get a fascination with them during adolescence. But now? Man, does that black plastic ever shine with possibilities.

Oh, I wish I had a river
