So, Monday started out with the unexpected as I waited on Friday for the anticipated. The middle of the week was wrought with twists and surprises, too.  The allusive "todo" kept running fast, but I saw it's tail a few times.

Nutshell:

Monday--Finish reorganizing work space/office; take son to ER; learn he has appendicitis.

Tuesday--Deal with appendicitis; discover dog has messed up her eye.

Wednesday--Take son home from hospital; remember that iPhone 2.0 comes out on Friday.

Thursday--Deal with dog's eye; write sermon for Sunday; etc.; entertain son's friends who came over to surprise him for his birthday.

Friday--Download iPhone 2.0; rediscover Pandora music; grocery run; sort massive pile of paper left over from office reconfig; cook dinner for family; hang out with wife and relish that nothing crazy happened today.

Monday--I thought I'd try something with my contacts.  My distance prescription in my right eye is the same as my close up prescription, which is corrected with "readers."  I have been told that some people wear on contact for distance and one for reading.  So I put a contact in both eyes creating the one-distance, one-reading affect.  THIS WAS GREAT!  Why didn't I think of this before?  I don't know how it works, but I cannot notice any change in my distance vision (unless I close my right eye), and I can read without the readers, mostly.  I can certainly do "light" computer work.  We'll see how I fair if I do a day of heavy computing or book work.

Tuesday--Sleeping is great.  After taking son to hospital after dinner on Monday, one thing led to another, but nothing led to sleep.  It was funny... after about 25 hours, my mind cleared up.  I wasn't "sleepy" per se, but very tired.  After a total of 30 hours, I hit the bed.  Instant sleepy!  I slept about 4 hours, then went back to the hospital.  I stayed with son until relieved by his brother, grabbed another 6 hours, then returned to hospital on Wednesday to hang out until he was discharged.  Sleep on Wednesday-Thursday was nice!

Friday--iPhone 2.0 is very cool.  I wish I could justify getting a new device, but the software upgrade is cool enough!  The free "apps" are great--bringing me to Pandora.

Pandora is the "make your own station" music project.  There is a iPhone app that will tap your station.  So, I was reminded that I had made a couple.  This is just a cool idea, and accessing it on the iPhone makes it great!  When I'm not in the mood for my playlist, I can still have music that is tuned to my taste based on my ratings and the artists with which I "seeded" my station.  Check it out:
