Tomorrow is the big day. I haven’t eaten anything in quite awhile now and everyone is downstairs having pizza. I don’t know when I will get back to the blog, hopefully it won’t be too long. So until then see ya!

Curse or blessing?

Posted in Blog · 1 Comment 

The countdown timer to the right is telling me my time is ticking away. My surgery is Friday and I am no where near ready for this. Christmas is tomorrow and I am not really ready for it either, mostly because I have to be on that awful clear liquid diet all day while everyone around me is able to eat to their hearts content.

I should get on my preparations for Friday. Mostly I need to get things ready for when I come back home as I imagine I won’t be in the mood to clean up my desk and bedside table at that time.

You’re still here?

Persistent buggers aren’t you?

I have been spending time getting everything ready for my big adventure on Friday. I am trying to keep myself occupied so I don’t psych myself out anymore than I already am.

Had to go to the doctor today because my bronchitis is not totally gone yet, this is not a good thing since I cannot have it when I go to surgery. The doc gave me the antibiotic that they usually perscribe for pneumonia. She said this should work and have me where I need to be by Friday. When I went to get the perscription filled they cashier asked me for 123 dollars! I about had to be carried out of the store. It’s all good though, they just accidentaly ran it through on an old insurance number, took a few hours but it got straightened out and I got my money back. They actually gave it to me for free and didn’t charge the co-pay to make up for the trouble.

I am supposed to be posting more about Christmases past, but I haven’t got it in me today, hopefully tommorrow I can get it up here.

Remembering Christmases past.

Posted in Life, Reflections · 3 Comments 

I remember the days leading up to Christmas very well. We usually put up our tree just after Thanksgiving. Decorating the tree was a family affair. Most of the ornaments were just plopped on the tree, but I  had a special ornament as well, it was a little blue eyed, blond haired angel. I loved that ornament from the moment I set my eyes upon it. My mother gave me the ornament a few years back and now it resides on my tree every year.

Sitting in school waiting for the last day till Christmas break. That last day was torturous to me. Knowing that in just a few short hours the official countdown to Christmas would begin.

Then there were the Christmas specials on TV. I watched them all and was especially fond of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas“. I watched them all, those are just 2 of the many that I loved. TV was my best friend growing up, but that is a whole other post.

I would listen to my 45’s of Christmas music incessantly, I imagine my mom still has issues with this one in particular:

I still love this one but I don’t have the 45 anymore, thank God for YouTube.

More to come…

Is it too late to change my mind?

Posted in Blogging the disease, politics · 3 Comments 

No, seriously, I don’t want surgery anymore, they have me too darned scared. Why oh who did she have to ask me if I have a living will or advanced directive? I know it’s part of the job but it still put a monkey wrench in my happy mood.

I took my camera with me today and guess what, I didn’t take a darn shot. I spent the entire trip back with a death grip on my steering wheel. I will need a new steering wheel now as I think I broke this one. It was snowing/sleeting on the way home and I have not put any weight in the back of my truck yet. Needless to say I had a hard time at every stop light in Indy. I was so glad to get home.

Oh, anyone else notice that our country is slowly slipping into some sort of “hell in a hand basket” death spiral? Selling senate seats? Or someone wanting a seat that has zero experience? The economy? Keep praying everyone, God has it all in hand.

K, going to bed now and hopefully when I get up tomorrow I will work on my portfolio to get something worthy in it.
