Hard luck this time

[twirlgrrl]

There's this great little market close to my house that specializes in treats from Ireland, along with all the regular neighborhood-market stuff. I stopped by there on my way home from the hospital tonight, and now I am eating a Cadbury's Turkish dairy milk chocolate bar, which is something I discovered in England and haven't seen here in the U.S. until today. It's weird, a bit perfumey and not really my favorite, but I had to have it for nostalgia's sake.

Cute--it's an instant-winner sweepstakes bar, and inside the wrapper there's a box that says "Hard luck this time. Please try again."

Oh, yes, I said hospital. You noticed. Blue and I took Evan to the Emergency Department this morning because he developed a sharp and jarring pain in his hip joint overnight. He couldn't walk at all this morning and was in terrible pain. We called his doctor who recommended he go to the ER, so off we went. He is still there (almost midnight) but they haven't found anything wrong on an x-ray or a CT scan, so he's on his way home. I can't even go pick him up because Blue is sleeping and Nathan isn't home. Poor guy has to come on crutches and take a cab.

oh man that sucks! I hope Evan feels better. The first time i read that I thought you said Blue instead of Evan haha.

Geez, that would REALLY suck! Except he doesn't know the word for "hip" so we would never know what was wrong. He says "Ow!" a lot now, but I think it's just for effect. ;-)
