what are you thankful for?

It is the last day of my birthday month and I am recovery from a nasty tummy bug.  Sunday was the worst day, Monday was just bad and I am hoping for much better today.

I am thankful for a wonderful nurse, Kaitlin

I am thankful for Sprite

I am thankful for TV

I am thankful that I am not on a trip so I can just veg out

I hope your April 30th is a wonderful day!

Do you have greener grass syndrom?

My motto for September is September is for Sitting.  Remember the phrase Greener Grass

I had some surgery a little over a week ago.  It was a little unexpected.  The doctor found a few spots and there needed to be a biopsy and some surgery done to keep that from happening again.  It was day surgery.  I went fasting- my third hatest thing to happen when you have surgery.  My second is the IV.  It always hurts- this time I have a wicked bruise but the stick was great and it was a non-event.  My most hatest thing is the time on the gurney from pre-op til you are knocked out in the operating room.  This time my nurse, Monica, gave me Versed!!!  I was out like a light!!  I don't remember anything!!  I came home after 5 hours, slept in my bed that night. All in all for surgery it was great.

I can't lift anything over 10 pounds.  My doctor told me not to even lift my purse.  I am to rest for two weeks and it may be four.  Sounds great doesn't it.  Greener Grass.  I can think of so many things to do, it is not even funny.  Yes, I am making a list but I'd love to be doing some of them now, but no, I am resting.  Doesn't it sound like a dream to be told you must rest for two weeks.  It isn't.

Someday I'll be complaining that I wish I could rest!

Last week I was still cloudy from the anesthesia and pain meds.  This week is better.  About midnight on the day after surgery I sat up in bed and asked Carl to google the surgery I had just had!  He calmly told me that we would google it as soon as it was morning.  That's all I needed.  I went back to sleep.  Poor Carl he never knows what I'll do!

I ordered books from amazon.com in my post surgery fog.  We are still trying to figure out why I ordered what I did???

I lost my shoes one day only to find them on Kaitlin's feet because I offered them to her????

I don't like that foggy feeling.

Today I just feel tired.  I am ready to not feel tired.

So I am sitting and resting.

The TV show Matlock has been good.  I tried to read a book Andrew recommended about Double Spies during WWII but I am just here to say when you have a foggy brain and you try to read about spies, it messes with your mind.  I'll try that book later.

Enjoy you doing today.  I'll be back doing soon.  Today I am being and resting and not thinking about that green grass.

M is for Mama

I've been sick, maybe even the flu.

Last Monday night I met with my table for 4 after -The Snake- (will post on that soon) and I didn't feel great but I love those women.  Tuesday was my friend, Mandy's, birthday and she is moving soon so I couldn't miss my lunch with her.  After lunch on Tuesday, I came home, sat down and really didn't move til Monday.

I am thanking for my job and my retirement.  I am thankful for Carl and Kaitlin and their love for take-out.  I am thankful for having lots of library books here to read (will post on that soon).  I am thankful for all the tv coverage of the March Madness.  I am thankful for soft tissues to blow my nose with.  I am thankful for sweet friends who came to clean up my house, even braving the germs.  I am thankful for feeling good again!
