TGIF! This month is rolling down a steep hill and I feel like I’m running as fast as I can to stay ahead of it, LOL! Enough whining, let’s get to sharing 5 random things about our week. Here’s mine:

Monday I stared down hunger, followed by drinking poison, oops I misspelled that, I mean prep. Tons and tons of it. You all can guess how that ended! But the good news is, by following low fiber diet and using the split does prep, I avoided the joys of nausea. I’ll take my wins where I can get them.Tues was a whole new day that began at 3:30AM in order to get to the outpatient surgical facility by 5:15AM. When I told Wizard what time we had to be there, he did not take it well. However, it went smoothly and quickly, and we were home by 8:30AM at which point Wizard conceded that it all worked out. And I was still not sick! I’m really exited about that fact, LOL. The rest of the day I rested, or at least, I followed the stern directions from the nurse and didn’t work out Yep, I actually asked and the male nurse was not amused.Later Tuesday Night, Youngest came by so he and Wizard could change the oil on the Shelby, and of course they found an oil leak. Sigh. So that goes in to the shop one day next week to see if it’s a leak that needs to be repaired or it’s fine.Today I have a pre-op appt with my primary doctor and a blood test after that. Which means I can’t eat breakfast, but I suspect I’ll survive. More importantly, I’m drinking tons of electrolytes and downing my prescribed salt pills hoping my sodium levels hit the lowest point of the normal range. The surgical facility gets really cranky about low sodium.Saturday we’re going to babysit Cigi while her parents go to a concert. I’m not positive if Wizard is going with me or not — that part is complicated. But either way, I’ll get to spend some time with Cigi and if it’s late when her parents get back, I’ll spend the night. If not, I’ll drive home. Next Saturday we’re watching Turbo and LT on Saturday then having Youngest and DIL (and maybe other family) over Sunday for her birthday. We need to celebrate that early as I’m having surgery the following Tues. This week I managed to get her gift, so I’m slaying tasks! If this sounds complex, it is. Somewhere in there I need to make the birthday cake (I want to), and prep some freezer meals because while Wizard will do anything in his power to help me after the surgery, he has limitations and gets tired and I want to make my recovery as easy on him as possible. Did I mention that this month is on crack? Also if I seem wired, I’ve been going non-stop today, LOL.

That’s my five, now I’d like to hear yours! I hope everyone has a fun and restful weekend!
