It’s 2am on Father’s Day. I woke up in an/anesthesia induced sweat bath. I had a lot of it in 7 hours of surgery 11 days ago. I’ll be sweating it out for a couple more weeks if history repeats itself. They say it takes a full year for the liver to process all of the [...]

…just not moving so fast right now. The surgery was successful. My kidney will no longer kill me. YAY! The hernia repairs are pretty harsh. They’ll heal eventually though. I’ve been home for 2 days now. The pain that I expected is about 1/4 of what I have. It hurts a lot more than I [...]

I’ve been a little scarce around here lately. I’m gearing up for major surgery in less than 2 weeks. Going through all of the pre-surgical appointments, getting all the forms filled out, planning what needs to be done to get the house ready, the roommate ready, the bills paid, the important paperwork updated, and keeping [...]

I got my bonus at work yesterday. YAY! In this economy, even though we’re supposedly recovering, my company has tightened up on a few things in order to keep us going, so we weren’t really sure we were going to get our bonuses. Last time around we got half of a bonus. It was better than [...]

I haven’t been writing much anywhere lately. Sorry about the lapse. It’s spring and I’ve been enjoying it. My best friend and I have been spending Sunday mornings at the arboretum. They have miles of trails there to explore. Last weekend the bluebells were blooming, and the plum trees, and lots of other things. It [...]

I’m looking forward to a couple of days off this week. I don’t take vacation days often, but I needed to cash a few in due to my outgo being more than my income this month (taxes) so I’ll enjoy the time to myself, and try to do a couple of fun things. Tomorrow and [...]

Both of my parents birthdays were in the last few days. They are both gone now, but I still remember them on their days, especially my dad who was born on April Fools Day, eighty eight years ago. I have written about them before. They were amazing together. I miss their energy in my life. [...]

It was another rough week at work, even though I only worked three days. Sometimes taking time off isn’t worth the stress when you go back and have to catch up. I needed a good weekend, and I got one. Friday we had a very quick employee sale at work and I got a brand [...]

I just had a good few days off from work. I went to a cute little zoo that’s 25 min from me that I’d never heard of before. I took my camera and tested out my new zoom lens and prime lens that I haven’t had a chance to break in yet. I have a [...]

It’s been an interesting day here at Casa Grania. First, it’s Valentines Day. I used to hate it because it was more of an excuse for my ex’s idiocy than anything. He’d do all the stuff that you’re supposed to do on Valentines and then expect me to respond by doing something that I inevitably [...]
