Sunlight and Blueberries

I am sitting here with a frosty glass of super iced blueberry lemonade. (yea, I had a Martha moment yesterday. Lemonade and blueberries, try it, it's gooood.) The sun has reappeared and it is just gorgeous out. I am feeling tired today. I guess sore and slow would be a more accurate description. I had a nice pain med shot at the Dr. This morning and was told to go home and take it easy. So, unlike what I normally do, I am doing exactly as I was told. The kids have been allowed to watch more TV this afternoon than usual so its turned out to be a pretty pleasant day. I have been catnapping curled up in a pile of blankets on the floor with the sun coming in on me from the window. I felt like a lazy cat!

I started hanging pictures on the walls yesterday so I assume that means that we are truly moved in. Last weekend Shad and I spent a considerable amount of time at the home improvement store trying to decide on paint colors for the interiors of the house. Talk about overwhelming possibilities. For someone like me that was like dumping a four year old in the middle of a five thousand square foot candy store and telling them they can choose only one thing..... I think it will take a while to narrow things down. We may actually paint the living room by the time "T" graduates! Now we have a little stock pile of lighting fixtures and things to install this weekend. I hate to admit it but I LOVE it. I will never be bored again, I will always have SOMETHING to do. (or change or repaint for the twentieth time!)

I am going in for surgery again the first weekend of August. I guess somewhere in my late teens I broke my nose and didn't know it. Now all those little broken parts have grown little bone spurs and my nasal passages look like a swirling maze of crinkled tinfoil. Hence the reason I have had a major sinus infection for three months strait! I am antibiotic resistant at this point so surgery was the answer. I am definatly tired of the fevers and head pain. I will spare you the gruesome horrors the doctor blessed upon me but it looks like I will be down for a week and a half or so. Of all the times I have been in the hospital this one has me freaked out. Its not normal to butterfly your nose like it was a fish and RotoRooter your head out! I asked him since he was going to "rebuild" my nose if that meant I could choose any nose I wanted... He laughed and said he was not in the business of cosmetic surgery. It may look a little different but alas I will still have a "ski jump" nose. Doc said I was going to hate him more than anyone on the planet for several weeks but then he was going to become my best friend. Hey! Who knows. I just may be able to breathe for the first time in years! Since I really have no option but to go through with this I am trying to be positive. I just feel bad for Shad, he has to take care of me and the kids while still working all night. Poor man, I will find him some help before then. We have had to suspend all my immune suppressing meds before the surgery so that is why I am hurting so bad. My RA is rebelling.

Well I think it's obvious from the way that I am rattling on that the pain meds are doing their job... I am going back upstairs to lay by the window in the sunlight and rest after I get another glass of lemonade.
