Didn't think I'd get anything useful accomplished today...except maybe a nap.

Tom fell yesterday on his way into The Press Room and put a gash in the back of his head. He was okay otherwise, and the bleeding pretty much stopped right away (amazing since he's on blood thinners), and he really wanted to visit with people so, despite the fact I thought it needed to be looked at by a professional and probably needed stitches, we stuck around the session for a bit. A friend called another session regular who is a is a FNP-C and she brought her gear to look at the wound and pronounced it, indeed, needed stitches. So at 5 PM we headed to Lee Urgent Care which was on the way home. Sigh. Good idea and Tom got in right away, but...because he's on blood thinners he needed to have a CAT scan and they couldn't do that, so sent us on to Dover (semi-backtracking on the 2nd leg of a triangle from Portsmouth) to the ER. And the Wentworth-Douglass ER was having a busy night. 2-1/2 hours waiting until he could get the CAT scan. Then wait for it to be interpreted (it came out fine; and a doc said it was the quickest he seen that accomplished, too), then wait to get stitched up. Five hours (there -- not counting the time at Lee Urgent Care and the half hour drive). We didn't leave the hospital until 11 PM. (He fell at 4.) Oh, and it was FxxKING SNOWING when we came home!!! Arghhhh!

Couldn't go right to bed, of course. Plus had to post at Facebook so people wouldn't worry since they hadn't heard from us sooner. (Cell wouldn't work in that part of the hospital.) So didn't turn out the light until 1:15 -- and woke up at 7:00 AM. I don't function on too little sleep. Did get a short nap, but it didn't help.

But I did bring stuff in from the car (despite it being iced in -- tricky) and finished a Vanity Fair from a couple weeks ago. Then got some more ephemera into the yearly binders. (Mostly from the '90s.)

Soon to bed and hope I more awake tomorrow. Both Tom and I slept well, just not long enough.
