Message 981

Yesterday Maureen took Vanessa to the doctor to have one of her toes cut off because the cortisone shots she has been taking for years can not be continued. Because her recovery took hours longer than she expected she called and asked me to pick up Beech and Annie after their schools in the afternoon. It was great to see the kids, in spite of Annie having a meltdown, so that she exhausted herself and took a nap after we got home. Vanessa is doing well, although she will not be able to drive for a week.

When I got home, I watched the Sharks game against New Jersey. The score was 0-0 until the middle of the third period when Marleau finally scored. Unfortunately New Jersey then scored two power play goals, so the Sharks winning streak ended and they lost 1-2. I was surprised that Jim called this morning, so I joined him and Helen at Starbucks before doing my weekly Safeway shopping.
