So, today was the day of our Beloved Rebel’s second cataract eye surgery. Surgery was scheduled for 1:20pm, and the day should have started normally.

It didn’t.

It started at 5 a.m. with water dripping onto Barbara while she slept.

Turns out we had a leaky sprinkler head. The leak has been fixed, but left a hole in the bedroom ceiling, currently covered with black plastic, and much wetness on the floor.

We were still able to go the eye surgeon, however, and that, at least, went very well with no surprises.

In the meantime, Barbara is sleeping in our den/guest room on the (thankfully comfy) daybed, until her ceiling is fixed.

When her eye has accustomed itself to the extra light (“Wow! Everything is so BRIGHT!”), she’ll be back with you again.

Until then, take care, everyone. May nothing drip on you in the night.

Namaste,

The Sister.
