Twenty twenty twenty four hours to goooooooo ...

I had a bitch of a time sleeping last night. So very nervous/anxious/excited/worried about surgery Tuesday morning. I haven't a damn clue how I'm even going to sleep tonight.

Still a nagging cough, that is not going to be fun with a cut up throat, it's not so bad that I can't repress it though, which I may have to, as the post-surgery instructions say TRY NOT TO COUGH! I do not wish to bleed to death, nosir.

Aside from trouble getting to sleep, I'm not feeling particularly anxious or worried right now. When I woke it really felt like a new day, like the beginning of another chapter, so hopefully that's a good sign. Though I am still going to jump every time the mobile cell phone telephone device does anything because today is their last chance to call and cancel beforehand.

But then, I'm going to be worried that it's going to get canceled up until I actually wake from anesthesia.

I was way behind on ChaCha work and spent this last week scrambling to hit payout before the monthly pay period ended, so I did not get anything else done all week. Which leaves me today to wash the bedclothes, as well as a bunch of other laundry and try to get this place as tidy and as recovery-friendly as I can.

I should probably actually eat something today as well. My brain has latched onto the whole DON'T EAT THE NIGHT BEFORE SURGERY thing as an excuse to neglect to remind me to eat at all. NOT YET, STUPID BRAIN, I CAN STILL HAS FOODS FOR A FEW HOURS.

Calmer day than expected.

Regardless of the trouble sleeping last night, I've been having a fabulous day.

Taking it slow, I already accepted that I was unlikely to get everything done that I wanted to so I am just making sure to get to the more important things first.

Clothes are washing.
Dishwasher is going.
Made many jellos.
Made many popsicles.
Talked to mother, she's in town and checked into her motel.
Talked to father and made plans to call him in the morning before going into pre-op.

I'm sure I'll get all anxious again when I lay me down to sleep. But right now I'm just calm and happy. I feel like I'm pretty prepared. I have plenty of time to get all the important stuff done. Clean bed, clean clothes, liquidyfoods and squishyfoods all ready. Lappy and Teeny back in room set up next to bed.

I intend to even make my bed before I leave in the morning so it's all ready for me when I come home tomorrow.
And friendly for mother and any visitors to sit on with me.

REMEMBER, as of Thursdayish, I WILL BE ACCEPTING VISITORS BEARING ICE CREAM.
