All out of clever titles

The Vansome's surgery went well yesterday. There was a minor complication with the suction clamp on his right eye and they had to redo it, so he's had a lot more pain on that side. He had a hard time making himself rest afterwards. He took a couple of naps, but he got up and watched a couple of hours of TV with me after he ate dinner. Because I had signed off on being responsible for his care, I was telling him to go to bed at every commercial break, but he wouldn't budge. He was a really good patient when I had to put his eyedrops in for him. He actually asked me to help him with that and I appreciated him letting me take care of him. He couldn't sleep with his eyeshield on because it didn't fit his head right, so he slept in his sunglasses. I was nervous every time I felt him reach up to scratch any part of his upper body because I knew he was going to reach under his glasses in his sleep and rub his eyes. He didn't. At his follow up visit this morning, they said he was healing perfectly and his eyesight is now 20/15. He's still wearing the sunglasses all the time, and he slept a while after we got home this morning, but he's out driving now. I wasn't thrilled with that plan, but they said he was okay to drive and he's not drugged, so I couldn't really stop him. I'll be nervous until he gets back, though.

I went to Fresh Market yesterday after I left the Vansome for his surgery. It opened Wednesday and so I stopped in to check it out. It was very nice inside, and the food looked wonderful. They didn't have much in the way of bulk bins, just candy and trail mix. No spices, no beans and grains and things. But the produce did look good, and they had a good selection. No conch, but coconut shrimp and several different crab cakes. The bakery looked especially dangerous. I thought they would have a better selection of cheeses. They did have a cold pack of port wine cheese that looked much better than the prepackaged stuff we get at Kroger's. I didn't get it because I had already stocked up before the surgery. I did get a cold pack of creamy swiss with almonds and that's been my lunch the last two days. They also had mini Toblerone bars that I'd never seen before. I treated The Boy. That's his favorite candy bar.

As for my TV habit:
I guess I called Idol this week. I hate to see Melinda go. It goes without saying that she's head and shoulders above the other two. But it's ok, I'm not disappointed because I mostly expected it. We'll see if I was right about the rest next week.
Lost was a little bit of a let down. I've come to expect major revelations every week now, and I didn't get any this week. I did enjoy the story, and for that alone it will probably end up being one of my all time favorite episodes, but I was expecting something different. It was sweet to see Charlie's good memories, because his backstories are usually too painful for me to watch. I did tear up a time or two.
CSI was another mild disappointment. I love the Grissom/Sara storyline, but to be honest, I just didn't care that much when Sara was stuck under that car at the end. I was not emotionally invested and I don't know why. They played up the Big Reveal of the Gris/Sara secret relationship, but it was so subtle you could have missed it. I guess that is fitting for their relationship, though.
The Best Show of the Week Award goes to The Office. Too many LOL moments for me to even know where to start. I love that Jan just completely self-destructed, I love that Ryan is now Michael's boss, and I almost got teary with Pam when Jim said, "It's a date!" They really did such a good job of finally bringing Jim and Pam together. I am far too emotionally invested in the happiness of two people who don't even exist, but then I've been known to do that.
