Weirdness.

My husband, who is fabulous and amazing and all that jazz, has offered to pick up Tony this afternoon so that I have an hour or so to myself.

That sounded really good, in theory, but I’m freaking out.

It’s like, A WHOLE HOUR?  But then again, I’m faced with the overwhelming list of things I would do if I didn’t have to be responsible for anyone.  Visit the gym.  Go to the mall.  Go have a drink.  Finally vacuum my car out.  But..

Wednesday (the 23rd) I tried to access an online system I use for my job and it wouldn’t let me in.  Said I wasn’t an “ACTIVE” employee.  So I called Leave Management.  They said they hadn’t received anything from my doctor.

But the note? I asked.

Not official, they said.

So my doctor’s office faxed over the company’s OFFICIAL RETURN TO WORK form on Thursday.  I called on Friday morning and they said, “Well, it takes 24 to 48 hours to register in the system.”

I thought this was THE COOLEST IDEA EVER.  I would’ve eaten this up as a child.  It will definitely be part of The Boy’s birthday this year.  Provided we let him live that long.

Be warned: although this is not the actual video, if you’ve ever loved a cow, even the printed story is enough to break your heart.
