A Nice Day Out

This morning (at 2am) I got a new roommate. She seems nice enough although I don't speak to her because I don't know espanol. I managed to get back to sleep with the help of my friend, Ambien. And when I finally woke up, I layed in bed wondering what to do for the day. I decided I'd had enough of hospitals. Well, what really sent me over the edge was when my roommate's 50 relatives filled the 20X10 room and I felt like we were all having a fiesta at 10am. That's when I had a brilliant idea! I called my hubby and told him that he was going to take me out to lunch. They almost never check on me unless I ring the bell. So I decided to ditch for the day...

It was great. I escaped unnoticed and he picked me up in front of the hospital. We decided to drive through Del Taco since I have a tube sticking out of me and we didn't want to freak anyone out. We took our Del Taco back to the hospital where we found a very nice patio area and we all had a picnic. I think we all enjoyed having lunch together at a table, talking and feeling a bit normal. The kids had a nice time eating and running around.

Hubby and the kids walked me to my room and when we got back, they had put out an APB on me but I didn't care. They said they'd been looking all over for me and I just shrugged my shoulders. Oh well...at least I came back. Once at the room, the kids watched in awe as the lab guy drew blood. Ryan asked if they were getting out all the bad bugs. Hubby and the kids left to go to the park but they will be back later and they promised to bring me tweezers so I can tweeze my eyebrows. I'm starting to have a unibrow!
