when your youngest roommate undoes your cabinet organization...

i guess i really am 97 years old

i found out today i have to have hip surgery :(

while i want the pain to go away, the surgery is a little worse than i expected, and i am TERRIFIED.

the orthopedic surgeon said i have something called FAI. an arthrogram of my hip confirmed the labral tear that the surgeon expected to find.

my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 26, and the nurse said I'd be off work (with a desk job!) for 3-4 weeks. physical therapy 1-2x/week for 12 weeks. my estimated return-to-work date with no restrictions would be the end of November.

bathtime request

punkin wanted to bathe in the sink this evening, so i let her. she was perched happily in the sink watching "beauty and the beast". i sat at the kitchen table making notes in my planner. each of us was lost in her own little world.

then, to break the silence, she asked me, "mom.... can you put on shoes and go to the grocery store?"

i don't even know that i actually replied or just giggled.

a few minutes later, "mom... can you put on shoes and go to quiktrip?"

i laughed again and asked "why?"

"i want donuts".
