Tomorrow is my surgery. I am starting to get a bit nervous, though all my wonderful friends and family assure me everything will go fine. I am starting to imagine what life will be like being free of this pain I have been in for almost three months. I can barely remember it seems. I will focus on that. I can’t eat anything after midnight tonight. After that, I can only have a small amount of clear liquid until 5am, and then nothing until after my surgery. Today, I took a picture of some glitter eye shadow that Santa gave me this year. I got glitter all over my hand (and everything I touch, including my camera), but I was happy with the shot I got.

This morning I got a call from the neurosurgeon’s office and found out my surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. Yes, as in the day after tomorrow (try not to think of the Dennis Quaid movie). I have to go in for a pre-op visit this afternoon. I can’t believe it will be happening so fast. But, I am glad I won’t have to long to stress out about it. I am ready for it to be done. The pain is getting worse daily. Today I was going to try and do something creative, but then I saw the little dude sitting there and I couldn’t resist. It just seemed easier, and with everything else going on, sometimes easy is all I can handle.

Monday. Not my most favorite day of the week. Things are still beyond hectic at work since the last round of layoffs. I guess this is just the new normal. Also, today I found out my back surgery may be scheduled for later this week or next week. I am, to be honest, a bit scared about the surgery (I mean, it is surgery), but I am very ready to be out of pain. I am so used to being in pain now, I think it will be weird not be in pain, but I am so looking forward to it. Today, I just took some more pictures of the pets (they are always so handy). Not really sure where I was going on the processing with this one. Just playing around.

Today was a nice lazy Sunday. Didn’t do too much. Watch our Seattle Seahawks go down to defeat in a playoff game. I am far from a football fan (just ask my boyfriend), but it is always nice to see Seattle get a shot in the post season. Took a some pictures of the dog today. She wasn’t doing anything exciting, just laying on the couch. Played with the processing a bit.

This morning I was using my computer and I had put my blanket on the file cabinet in the office. Little Dude decided it was a comfortable place to rest for awhile. It seems like the situation just begged for a photo, so I grabbed my camera (which was right next to me) and took some pictures. He is the little dude.
