A few weeks ago, when my blood pressure fell, and I was passing out (and I got a third-degree burn from doing so), I managed to lose/misplace my Kindle Fire. I think it was a Fire 7. Last night I pulled the mattresses off of the bed and checked thoroughly beneath it. No Kindle. I had previously checked around the edges of the mattress with no luck. I have no idea what I did with it. So, last night, I ordered myself a Kindle Fire 10. It's supposed to be here on Tuesday, and I'm super excited about it. I'll lose nothing from my old Kindle, as everything is also on Amazon and on my computer.

When I was checking around the edges of the mattress about a month ago, I found my wife's old Gameboy Advance. She was thrilled to see it, and even happier that I had also found some of her old games. A few days ago, I won a $45 eBay card, and I let her have it. She ordered a 7-in-1 Legend of Zelda combination game pack. It's supposed to be here tomorrow, and she's pretty excited about it.

On Thursday we begin the process of getting my wife some healing. On that day, we have to go to Medical City in the Dallas area for surgery pre-op. Hopefully, all goes well and the trip goes well. Our next trip, after that, will be on the 26th. She has colon cancer surgery on the 27th.

I myself have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm sure the doctor will look at the burn on my arm. She'll probably be more concerned about my blood pressure, though. Some days it's high, and some days it's normal. On other days it's too low. I'm not sure what's going on with me - maybe it's stress.
