Not the most auspicious beginning of a week

The first two days of this week have involved shenanigans over medical tests (trying to figure out what's wrong with my GI system--it's not cancer at least), shenanigans at Chuckro's job, ear drops for ARR that are clearly fairly painful (it's expected, we checked) and thus a lot of crying, frustrating setbacks (not major, just annoying) at my job, four fillings which the dentist didn't do a good job on so I have to go back tomorrow, and ARR nearly tipping his chair over (we caught him just in time). Oy.
