One down, One to Go

This week the One Down is T.S's rush trip to California. Being gone is not his favorite thing. He worries about me getting home from work okay. I keep telling him "I am 45 years old. If I can't find my way home by now, I'm in big trouble." He still worries. It was fine. The other thing gone was the floors - almost. Someone TS knows was going to come on Wednesday to fix the carpet - so of course I got the house all clean and beautiful...and the guy forgot his tools. So now he's probably coming on Monday, the day before TS's surgery. Hopefully he will get it done, so we can get the living room back in order before the surgery. However, he is willing to do it, and for that, I am grateful, no matter when it finally happens. I could put the furniture back, but the thought of hooking up all those cords while TS directs gives me the cold shivers. Also this week I cleaned and cleaned (because of the guy) and did piles of laundry. I still have piles and mountains to go. BUT at least my washer and dryer are back, and I'm happy about that.

This week I am avoiding....
Thinking about driving home from TS's surgery. If I think about it, I will start freaking out - if I don't think about it I won't. Simple. I was also avoiding reading any of the books I have been looking forward to starting. I want something potentially good to read next week, during the surgery wait time.

What else is on my mind...
I am hoping my Bare Escentuals cosmetics are NOT what is causing my face to break out. Because I like them. It might be all that lovely floating white stuff in the air. I am also wanting to buy things, but I am waiting. I don't like to wait. I am also hoping not to be a mean nurse next week. TS keeps calling me "Nurse Ratchett" which makes me laugh and pisses me off simultaneously.

The week ahead....
Not so awful tarot deck this week, I hope, Legend, the Arthurian Tarot. Maybe a trip to Barnes and Noble in my future, just to make SURE I have enough to read. And Target, for a new Bag O' Tricks, if I can find one.. If I could sew, I would fix the old one. However - I cannot. What would I do? Make the inside out of chambray or something. Maybe I should talk to a sewer.
I am also going to continue my eating well/exercising/water drinking.

Accomplishments....
Did really well on my eating well/exercising/water drinking. Didn't get sulky about riding bus home. (This was a major milestone for me.) Finished with the Feng Shui Tarot. Nice Art, not great to read with. Only cried about Magic twice.

Weekly Gift...

The only one I needed - the floors are done, and my house is almost back to normal.

Quote of the week

"The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and sewing are written by men. It is all part of a great scheme of sex propaganda. "

Heywood Broun

Just a small note. TS is much better at using the sewing machine than I am.

How typical.
