what to do, what to do

My mom was scheduled to have a colonoscopy this morning (yes, send her your sympathy). Since they require you to have someone pick you up on account of the sedation, I am "on call" and was planning to go there around 1:00 based on what she had told me. I called ahead to our favorite bagel store and asked them to save me a couple dozen, since it's right near the hospital and I take any opportunity to stock up on bagels. (The whole-wheat sesame tend to sell out fast.) I told them I'd be there at 1:30ish to pick up....

Anyway, mom called at 11:15 to say that she hadn't even been taken in yet -- her appt was at 10:00 so apparently they're running pretty late. yikes.

Now I'm not sure what to do about the bagels, and in any case, I'm starting to worry a bit that it'll be tight getting back to pick up Isaac from preschool at 5:30, at this rate.

Maybe Ruthie and I will go get the bagels and then go hang out at the hospital? There's a really cool baby/kid store right near there too. Danger Will Robinson!! Danger! ;)

I also need to make copies of my unemployment worksearch records and my "statement," then mail them off. Where the hell does a person go to make copies these days?? It used to be every tiniest convenience store had a 5¢ xerox machine, and now I can't find anywhere for love or money.

also, I have an update ont he preschool food thing, but it'll have to wait.

Most libraries have copiers.

If you decide to hang out at the hospital, and you haven't already found a copier, gimme a call on my cell and I'll take a break and make you come copies. It's not hundreds of sheets you need, right? So no prob.

Thanks -- I might do that. Actually, is there a post office near the hospital? Part of my thing was wanting to do the copying and the mailing in one trip because Ruthie isn't so thrilled about a lot of in-and-out with the car in this weather.

According to USPS.com, the nearest one is a quarter mile away from here. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to walk that in this weather. ;)

There's a UPS store just up the block, though, if that'd work.

Best wishes to your mom - hope all goes well on the surgery!

Thanks! Though colonoscopy isn't a surgery. It's just an examination where they put a scope/camera up your butt so they can check out your colon.
