Our Weekend and Monday....All Caught Up!!

It was a cold and rainy Saturday and perfect for staying in by the fireplace.

We've been watching a 'new' to us program from 2016 .....

Maigret - set in Paris in the 1950's.

Much like Inspector Morse which is set in England in 1955.

Before I went to bed I poured a glass of my favorite wine and read a few chapters while eating a couple of bites of the decadent pecan pie Brenda had sent home with us Friday night.

I had hidden it in a tin - to prevent Louis Dean from eating it all up.

Unfortunately, he found it Sunday afternoon and ate it ALL while I was taking a nap!

It was a good Sunday! Church and home for an afternoon of football - and my nap.

I spent some time organizing my new make up and toiletry bags and getting things ready for when I go to the hospital.

I spent several hours today (Monday) doing pre-op appointments.

First at the surgeon's office and found that surgery is scheduled for 12:45 next week.

I won't have to get up early, so that part's nice.

Not being able to drink so much as an ounce of water for over 12 hours, not so nice!

They gave me a white folder with the Rx for a handicap placard plus the hospital information and directions to go for a nasal swab and registration.

I went to the ladies restroom and accidentally left the white folder at the check out window.

Thankfully, I remembered it before leaving the office.

Then I drove to the hospital and registered for my surgery.

It's a small world - the lady at the desk turned out to be my neighbor - just across the street by the drainage ditch.

She and her family always come over on Halloween. I didn't even know her name before we got to talking and found out we live on the same street.

Well, I ended up leaving my white folder when I left the nurse who did my medical history.

I was at the post office when she called me to tell me I had left it. While she was talking, Gloria heard her and said she would be happy to drop it by on her way home.

 She had her little girl with her so they came in and we visited a few minutes.

So now I know another neighbor! Win! WIN!!

It's really dawning on me that I am about to be out of commission for several weeks so I went into full Christmas Take Down mode!

The living room tree is the one biggest job, so I did that first.

I took off all the ornaments and ribbons.....

Then Louis Dean took off all the lights and got the tree down.

If I use my time wisely, I think I can get most of it all done by next Monday.

At least, that's my plan!

Good night, Folks!

Sleep well......
