Two days before hernia surgery.....

Well, I'm trying to get some things done. I have surgery on Monday and have to be there at 6 a.m. I'm a little scared, but I also know that I'm in God's hands and that brings comfort.

I also am trying to get some things done before my family comes in. They are giving me a couple of days of recovery and then are showing up to help my husband and mom with me. It's not that serious, but I'm scared and glad to know they are coming. My mom's birthday is on July 24th. Not sure if I will feel up to celebrating it. Can't wait until Tuesday, so I will know how things went.

I'm also trying to decide what to put up on my wall. We painted and now I just have to come up with saying.

Well take care! See you later!

Wow! Has it been 9 months???!!!


I can't believe it's been over 9 months since my first attempt at blogging. I wish I was better at this and timely too. I just don't quite know what to say, but am going to put that aside for the moment and just type for now. I'm going to be having a hernia surgery on July 20th and then will be recovering. Hopefully, I will be able to craft some during recovery time. Hopefully, I will feel good enough to craft while recovering. I've looked it up online and supposedly will be off work one to two weeks, but can't lift or do heavy work for over 3 weeks. I've had hernia surgery twice before, but always something else was going on at the same time, so I'm not sure, plus it's been over 8 years and I can't remember what it felt like. They are doing it laproscopic surgery. I'm sure all will be well. Prayers/good thoughts very much welcome.
I downloaded a not so good picture of a project that we did at my last stamping club. It's so cool and will hold gift cards insided. I can't wait to make more of them. My friend, Robin, taught the class and taught us other items also, but this was my favorite. Sad part is that it was our last monthly meeting together. My friend needs to make time for her other endevours. I'm so grateful to have been part of the fun of these monthly meetings for about two years. She's a very generouse person and so extremely creative. I'm in awe of her. I don't know how she does so much in life. But, I know I will see her and hopefully will take some of her other classes.
Well, this it it for today. Hope all are doing well. I really need to do some stuff around here. Take care!
