Glass Sliver
Mother has had some back pain for some time and the other night it was terrible and she spent a lot of time out of it. She got up to get sherbert, as the Germanic Cinderella did -- or in this version she did. In getting it she knocked over her glass -- really glass, into the sink. As fortune would have it, she found a large piece with her foot. She called out to her fairy Godmother, but she was on vacation in Quebec, so her substitute Marcus came to help. Upon inspection, she was bleeding from the broken vessels -- flowing like a river. Anyway, with some luck, Marcus found the large piece and yanked it out. Mother winced and forgot the pain. Despite patching the flood with band aids, she bled. I cut apart a sock of mine to keep her sheets from running red. It worked. Cinderella, awoke in the morning without the prince pursuing her, but she did find that her glass sliver was found. She now lives happy unbloody after.
Diane went to hospital for ear surgery and did okay. Sadly, she didn't take well to the anestesia and spent her time home puking and resting poorly under lots of fans.

We finished the evening with poker games, a visit to the Liberty Diner and finally the DVD of TV show Gross Anatomy. It's not my type of show, but Jessica liked it.
