November 1, 2025 Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit!

 

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit!

Good Morning Everyone! I'm a little late posting this today. But things have been a bit busy around here. Yesterday was Halloween and although we no longer open our doors to trick or treaters (most now go to trunk or treat at the schools), I do make Halloween cookies and candy for my youngest granddaughter (who will be 13 soon! Can't believe that!) and the twin girls next door. 

But we did have a strange thing happen Halloween night. We live at the intersection of 2 streets and have a street light in our driveway. Well, somewhere around 9-10pm or so, we saw activity on our security cameras of about 2 dozen or more people (some grownups, mostly maybe teens) dancing in the street there. Most were dancing, some were taking pics. It went on for about 10-15 minutes. (We were already in bed or would have gone out to check it out). Flash dancing?? Don't know... After about 10-15 minutes they all moved on collectively down the street. 

Our neighborhood didn't have young children for a long time. They did when we moved in 40 years ago, but they've all (including ours) grown and moved on. Then the pandemic hit and Halloween trick or treating was more or less a no-no. Now we are getting an influx of more young people, so perhaps Halloween trick or treaters will become a thing again. We shall see.

Well, that's it. Don't usually post much on Rabbit! Rabbit! day, but wanted to share this... as well as the news that apparently I do need another eye surgery in the next week or so (ugh!). Will keep you updated. 

And I know that most of you know nothing about the video game "Animal Crossing" (which my grandson got me started on at the beginning of the pandemic). It's an island life game (no survival, no winning, just life on an island) very relaxing. Anyway, Nintendo just announced that we are getting a great update in January 2026. I know this means nothing to non-players, but this is something we didn't expect and are really excited about. They will also offer a new Switch 2 with the game plus extras, but the update to the old game (on our old Switches) will be free. So happy and pleased that the Nintendo people did this!

Closing with a video that my son sent that is really funny... if you're into cats.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween cometh...

There was a time that I always made us a pumpkin custard pie for Halloween. Haven't done it in years now. But I will make some pumpkin and bat tea cakes to give to my granddaughter and the twin girls next door... as well as a Halloween bag full of candy (we no longer open our doors for Halloween trick or treaters - stopped with the pandemic and was replaced with "trunk or treat" at the schools.) 

And I already had our grandson order Pepperoni and cheese pizza for tonight (no usual Sunday roast or whatever due to baking cookies!).

I did make a Shepherd's pie the other night. I make it a little different from the original Irish recipe... as I use a Pet Ritz pie crust brushed with a little bourbon, vanilla, butter, and a tiny bit of sugar. We find it makes the crust taste very home-made - got the idea from a Chef on TV. It works great!

And I've been doing a lot of reading. Now just finished "The Last Letter" by Rebecca Yarros and am in the middle of  her "Great and Precious Things". 

By the way, our feral cat numbers have been low lately. Only Shadow (the grey) turns up. We have however been getting a mother raccoon and her babies, as well as 3 possums, and several box turtles.

The crows continue to come. My son sent me this sign for the house.

So I will leave you with this:

and...

Wishing you a great Sunday and a Happy Halloween!

(Update on my eye... had to reschedule my eye appointment this past week as not feeling well, but will go in this week to see what the doctor has to say)

Oh... and my youngest granddaughter makes "masks" (think I've mentioned this before?) . Anyway, she made a bunch more and brought them over for me to see yesterday. They are really good. My favorite was this one:

Had to share this... so cute!

 It's a purple Yorkie mask!

October 18, 2025 No King's Day

We went to the No Kings Day protest yesterday.

It was a great turn-out... probably over 3000 people there in our area alone lining the streets from one end of the shopping center to the other... and past into the neighborhoods - waving flags and holding signs! Cars passing were honking and giving the thumps up! There are more all over the city and the U.S. If the turnouts are all this good... and peaceful, it's a hopeful sign.

Loved some of the signs people waved. Most said "No Kings" or "No Dictators", some said, "Congress - Honor your oath", "We have a constitution, not a King", "This is what Democracy looks like". But my favorite was an elderly woman's sign that said, "I need to be able to tell my grandchildren I didn't stay silent". I agree with that. We didn't take a sign, but if I had, it would have said, "Make America KIND again!"

Favorite signs:

and 

Seeing all the news coverage of the event today was definitely encouraging. Thousands plus turned out all over the country (and apparently there were No Kings protests in other countries  too).

Wish people realized that we all love America and just want the freedom and equality that the constitution promises...  and we need to remember the words that are on the Statue of Liberty.

"Give me your tired, your poor,

 your huddled masses 

yearning to breathe free."

IMO, basically we were all immigrants... and America was built and became great on these words. Yes, understandably there must be some control and regulations... but not like what's going on now. Fear is not the way and whatever happens, I believe history will prove this. 

The words "WE, the People... " are so important. 

And at the moment I'm remembering the words of Mother Teresa when she said that we can't all do great things, but we can do small things with great love. Hoping and praying that this is enough.

Saturday thoughts...

I found this pic on the internet, but DH actually saw a white crow one day when he was pulling in the drive. I watched for days, but if it was there, it never came back. I believe that any creature can be born albino. It's just rare and I'm not sure how well they're accepted. 

I googled it and read that they are extremely rare and occur only 1 in 30,000 to 100,000 births. It is due to a genetic mutation that prevents melanin production. Sadly it also said that it can impact the bird's ability to find a mate and also harm their eyesight.

And... in some native American tribes a white crow sighting signifies a great blessing.

We have 6-8  black crows that come by every morning and evening for peanuts and Cheetos. The other day we came home from an errand and they were all over the trees cawing... like "They're home! They're home!". It was only about 3 o'clock and not actually feeding time... but I went out and threw them a few Cheetos. They were down on the lawn before I even got back in the house.

And observing them, it's possible that they come from different groups as one can be fine feeding close to some, but chases others off or is chased off himself. I raised and bred English Budgies and Zebra Finches years ago and it was fascinating to watch their interaction. Seems like these crows also have a pecking order.

OK... just wanted to share about the white crow. Didn't mean to go on and on. 

If you're still with me, I'll talk about something else... although it's not terribly exciting either. I've been baking a lot lately. Sent teacakes and home-made nutty granola to a friend last week. She was having some down days and thought it might perk her up.

And now making espresso shortbread and pralines to add to my oldest granddaughter's care package for her birthday this coming week.

espresso shortbread cookies
with dark chocolate centers

Also wearing my back brace today as lately my lower back is acting up when I get out of bed. It acts like one wrong move and it'll freeze up on me. But once I'm up and moving about (albeit very slowly at first), it seems to loosen up and be OK. (Just another sign of age, I'm sure).

And remember that Halloween is coming - so please keep your inside cats in - and possibly create a safe yard for the outside ferals.

(For those interested, eye is healing and seems to be doing OK... but still the possibility of a 3rd surgery looms.)

just a few thoughts...

I was texting this morning with a friend that has a lot going on in her personal life these days. And we were discussing how worrying about it doesn't help... and that we need to find little things that bring us joy. 

And I happened to look up at my cat calendar hanging on the wall above my desk... and smiled.  Gary Patterson makes these and I find them adorable. They make me smile, so I thought I'd share a few with you.

 

This last one is my favorite!

I know this is a post without much content. But if it made you smile, then I'm happy. 

On a more serious note, I want to share a few pics I came across of Jane Goodall:

May she rest in peace... her life made a difference.

October 1, 2025 Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit!

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit!

October is here... and I'm so-oo glad! 

Although it's still pretty hot here in Texas,  

I know it should start to feel like Fall soon.

 Here's wishing everyone a happy healthy safe Fall Season!

Today is a good day...

Just wanted to say that today is a good day! I can see again out of my left eye... still blurry, but I'll take it. It's only day 3.  2nd plastic surgery was Friday morning. Scary day with an urgent return to doctor's office after being released from surgical center (will go into that later). But... Saturday was better and so on. 

The 2nd surgery itself didn't take long. When in recovery room, I opened the eye that had been stitched closed for 5 weeks and I could see 'shadows of people'. Then as time went on while still there, I could see as if I was looking at things through blurry water. 

After home for about an hour, I was watching TV when suddenly the TV was doubled, my vision  became double vision... which was scary and also made me a bit nauseous. 

So we went back to see the doctor and I was told that when this happened he believed it was due to weakened muscles in the eye from either the anesthesia or the numbing agents (or the fact that the eye was stitched closed for so long - my reasoning). It should go away in a few minutes, hours, or days. He patched it closed for the day and told me to remove the patch in the morning and start the healing treatments. 

The next morning when I removed the patch, my vision was blurry, but normal. And so it goes...

The only thing I haven't mentioned is that when he told me that he believed the double vision was due to weakened eye muscles, he also said it could be due to a stroke (yes, that certainly upped my bp!) I was like, "What??". Then he said that he didn't think it was that as I wasn't showing any neurological signs. I asked "what are the signs?" And he said, "headache, weakness, etc."  I said, "No... (although I had just come off anesthesia and was feeling a bit weak). 

Anyway, patching up the eye for the night seemed to have done the trick. I see him again later this week and we'll go from there. If any of you out there watch Doc Martin on TV, this doc is a little like him... very good, but a bit abrasive. At  one point when I was telling him what was happening, he said, "Stop talking! I'm trying to examine you."(Doc Martin, right?)

Closing this with some pics that made me think of recent dreams. The last few nights this week I have dreamt of our cats (long gone).

The first was of a white cat (Betsy) we had when the kids were toddlers. I was standing in the door of a house looking out. Betsy was there on the patio drinking water. A few feet from her laying down was a mountain lion. I panicked for a second, knowing that if I called her, I would make both of them aware. In the short time that passed, Betsy simply stopped drinking and walked into the house. Dream over. I've dreamt of our cats off and on through the years, but this was the first time I ever dreamt of Betsy.

The second dream was of Ghost... one of our cats that passed away at the beginning of the pandemic. She was 15. Anyway, the dream was short, but wonderful! I actually got to pet her and she rolled over on her back and I could 'hear and feel her purring'! (My dreams are usually pictures, not much conversation, and not much 'feeling'). This was so-o different. It was wonderful and made me wake up happy.

I know many of you may think me crazy... but these are the things that make me believe that love never ends. 

Going to close this now as my left eye doesn't like the lap top light (even though I've lowered it quite a bit). I'll continue my updates later in the week. Thanks for reading. Hope it wasn't TMI.

Hugs,

Rian

 

Life goes on... but still in the 90's here

My daughter sent me these -  pictures of her Fall Table Setting and her Fall Fireplace. She decorates for almost every holiday and usually starts early. I told her that my Easter bunny decor is still out... and I think that I will just add a few pumpkins to it for Fall and Thanksgiving.

The blue/lavender plates in the center are part of a 4-piece tea set that we gave to DH's mom at one time. When she passed, it came back to me... and I passed it on to my daughter. It's a beautiful set, called Royal Albert's Moonlight Rose. It's the blue/lavender set similar to Royal Albert's Old Country Roses which are in red/gold. Here's a pic of the teapot, etc.

Now on to Shadow, the feral cat that still comes by to eat or sleep in our backyard. Here is a picture of him eating alongside one of the box turtles.

The funny story DH tells me is that he put out some leftover chicken  for Shadow and the turtle must have smelled it, as he came over and stuck his head in the dish (under Shadow's nose) and took a piece!

Life goes on here... my next plastic surgery is this week. Not looking forward to it, but also want it done and over (hopefully). 

Going to share 2 more things here that are very different. But it's all I've got at the moment.  One is a picture of my Ice-box Lemon pie I made last week. It is so-oo good. Made with lemon curd, condensed milk and whipping cream (how could it not be good?) It's my next favorite to my dark chocolate pie (made with bourbon whipped cream as a topping). If I posted a pic of this before, please forgive me (memory isn't always great).

This other share is a spiritual one. It's just one of my favorite quotes from C.S. Lewis' book, Mere Christianity. I don't read religious books much, but this one I liked. The quote that stayed with me all these years was:

"What can you ever know of other people's souls - of their  temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense alone with Him."

And I will leave you with this. My time and attention has been taken up with this eye situation and getting by with this eye stitched closed, so I've not been paying much attention to the political atmosphere. I get a little here and there from DH or my iPhone... but there is another quote that seems appropriate here (yes, I like quotes and seem to remember the ones that speak to me). 

"Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof" - meaning don't worry about future problems. Take it a day at a time. I'm trying...

Old age and sleeping/dreaming...

 

me and Gigi napping (years ago)

You'll have to excuse the 'old' pic, but I don't have any recent ones of me sleeping. This was taken years ago when Gigi and I would nap together on the sofa. Anyway, last night I was thinking about how many of my family and friends have trouble sleeping. I wonder if this is just an age-related problem or does it have to do with the stress of the times or has it always been this way?

I actually sleep fairly well myself. Go to bed around 10 pm, read for an hour or so, and then sleep until around 7 or 7:30 in the morning (with 2-3 bathroom breaks during the night of course). DH pretty much does the same (except that he doesn't read - just falls asleep pretty quickly). He gets up around 7:30 am 2 days to get the garbage out before the garbage man comes at 8 (comes at 8 'sometimes' - but if you don't get it out, he's sure to come early - so we call it his 'beat the garbage man mornings'). I usually stay in bed dozing or thinking about things until 8. Then up for coffee/tea... (or sometimes DH brings me coffee/tea in bed!)

I also have an Amazfit Band 7 watch that is connected to my phone that keeps tract of sleep. It tells me how long I slept, times I was awake, how much was deep sleep, my heart rate during sleep, and hypopnea times/hour. Then it tells me my steps during the night and gives me a score. I usually score in the 80's and 90's - a few in the 70's occasionally. 

And of course there are some nights (not many, but some - I call these my 'dark nights of the soul') when my mind is too busy to shut down and I wake up in the wee hours. Generally I make myself a cup of tea and either play with my Animal Crossing game or write lists of things to do the next day. Then return to bed and usually sleep until 8. 

Two of my friends have trouble sleeping. Both are my age or close. One has had trouble for years and years. She hardly ever slept. Don't know how she did it. But now her doctor has found something that works for her... thank goodness, she now can sleep. The other has pain problems as well as restless leg syndrome. She is up and down a lot during the night. 

Younger people I know have trouble also. One only sleeps maybe 4 hours a night and has to have a couple of beers before bedtime. Another goes to sleep quickly, but wakes up within a few hours and can't go back. Both of these people have a lot of stress in their lives, jobwise or personal. That leads me to believe that STRESS is one of the main causes of trouble sleeping - maybe for everyone. 

What do you think? Do you sleep well at night? I've always believed that good sleep was very important as that is the time our body rests and recoups, does repairs, and boosts our immune system. 

Also, do you dream? I used to dream long lucid dreams that I remembered in the morning and enjoyed. Nowadays I hardly remember what I dreamt... and when I do, they're short, confusing, often confrontational... things I would never do or say when awake. 

Just curious, but do you have trouble sleeping? And do you dream? If so, do you remember your dream?

Just sharing my thoughts here. Would love to know yours...

(question: is this type size too small? This is medium. But I've been using large lately and looking back, it may be too big?)

Hanging in here... and trying to stay busy

 

Not complaining... really, just putting my thoughts down. This having my left eye stitched closed is weird, scary, and uncomfortable. It doesn't hurt... aches a little on occasion, itches sometimes, but is just plain a nuisance. 

It's been a little over 2 weeks since the Mohs and the plastic surgery - and 3 weeks until the next surgery (where I believe they will take the stitches out and allow my eye to open again - I hope ). I actually have an appointment this coming Thursday to be checked over and talk about what's next.  

I know there are worse things... and I keep telling myself to be thankful to have had the basal cell carcinoma removed. And that I can still see out of my right eye during this time.  I also know that this too will pass. But in my mind, it's just taking too long...

I guess I just thought there would be a surgery and then it would be stitched up and that would be it. Apparently not.

If I'm going to get through another 3 weeks, I'm going to have to keep busy to keep my mind off of this situation. Can't sketch - my perception is too messed up. But I can read (thank goodness for kindle on my phone where I can enlarge the print), can binge watch Netflix,  and I can bake! 

Today I baked Halloween cookies... a little early I know, but I don't have any "Fall" cookie cutters (maybe I should look for 'leaves'?) Besides, my cousin in N.O. has a birthday coming up and I'm not exactly able to do much shopping, so I may send her cookies.  I could order through Amazon for her (and may still do that), but thought the cookies would be a good back-up plan.

Not a lot else going on around here... daughter sends me pics of Ryder, oldest granddaughter 's Bernese Mountain dog. He is still a puppy (about a year old) and is a sweetie. First pic is of him at home, the second he is on a play-date with his yellow lab friend. They're hanging out by the pool... (a bit spoiled, yes?)

I have been reading a lot lately (actually I always read a lot...). Last book was "Mrs. Endicott's Splendid Adventure" by Rhys Bowen. Enjoyed it, but different from her other spy books. 

Watched "Queen Charlotte" on Netflix. I'm sure that it's not historically accurate... but was definitely interesting. 

Believe it or not, it was in the 60's here Friday morning. Today it's in the 70's! Love it! We are able to get out and walk around the neighborhood a bit. I do miss getting outside... but not when it's in the 90's and triple digits.

That's it... not an exciting read, but it is what it is. If you're still with me, thank you.

This next pic has nothing to do with anything... just made me laugh when I saw it. If you're a cat person, you might appreciate it.

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! September 1, 2025

 

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! (there is one white one in there!)

(Remember when clicking a video that if you click the small square on the bottom right, it will enlarge it. And then Esc to get back.

This is a video my daughter sent me of the rabbits that she had captured running loose on her property a year ago.  She had caught and put the females all in the barn to keep them from reproducing (too many to spay). However, not too long ago, they tunneled out. So this picture shows them drinking water she puts out by the barn.

Story is that one of her neighbors used to raise rabbits and decided to stop - and just let them all run loose.  This is in the Hill Country. They eventually migrated to my daughters acreage. They are not wild rabbits so animal control is no help. She does find homes for some of the babies, but otherwise now just lets them go their own way, but puts out water (and possibly food) for them.

I tell her that she now owns a Bunny Ranch... along with her horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and turtles. There are 3 ponds on the acreage and it's fenced, but animals (as well as several stray dogs) seem to find their way there. She will try to find homes for them, but if not, they are generally allowed to stay.

I know this is a different Rabbit! Rabbit! post, but wanted to share the video.

Wishing you all a lovely Labor Day!

Crows and feral cats abound... also update on surgery

The top pic is a close-up of our crows eating Cheetos... they really like Cheetos! The second is them finding their peanuts on front lawn. It was 2 for the longest, then 3, 4, and now 6-8 come by every morning and sometimes in the evening. We also put out apple slices and berries on occasion.

Funny thing is that our mailman also likes feral cats and crows. He came by and rang the doorbell for a package he was delivering last week and we got to talking. 

He was wondering why we no longer had water and dishes up front for the feral cats. Told him that an Animal Control guy had come around telling people in the neighborhood to not feed the ferals. So we put their water and dishes in the back yard where it is more private. Also have a "Wild-life Sanctuary" sign on the fence to our backyard.

He said that he also feeds the feral cats and crows - and once a lady stopped by his mail vehicle while he was doing this and thinks that perhaps she reported him - and that's why the man came around to the houses. I told him "doesn't matter... if something comes to my house hungry, I'm going to feed it." 

We also put out diatomaceous earth to help them avoid fleas and recently put up 'coyote rollers' on our fence to keep the coyotes out -to provide more sanctuary. Some people complain that feral animals get in their garbage, or cause them other problems. We've been here 40 years and have yet to have any complaints. Our kids and grandkids have watched generations of these critters (feral cats, raccoons, possums, box turtles, etc.) grow up. It's been a fascinating experience.

NOW for my eye surgery update:

Mohs surgery was last Thursday. The surgery was fast, waited about an hour for results, then told they got it on first shave/slice (?). Bandaged it up and went home. Didn't hurt... past the first few numbing jabs... but after - not at all. 

Friday morning I had to be at the surgery center for 7:45 am for eye plastic surgery. That's really early for me, but we did it. THAT was a lot more complicated than we'd thought. The place is similar to the surgery centers they use for colonoscopies.... lots of beds, lots of paperwork, lots of nurses... tons of questions and they hook you up to bp, oxygen, EKG's, etc. before putting in an IV catheter. Nurses were great. Had to wear a gown (which surprised me since I didn't wear one for the Mohs - just working on eye only). 

When I came out we were told that surgery went fine... although they called the doctor out of his next surgery to check my eye as it was bleeding more than they liked. He came out and checked... said it was fine... and expected. 

Anyway, I didn't see myself until we got in the mirrored elevator to go home. They don't bandage it... just leave a sewn in gauze bandage on the lower part. Eye is sewn shut.  Talk about ugly! Wow! My eye is purple, red, swollen, and sewed. DH said I looked like I was in a bar fight (still do... although the swelling has gone down and it's less purple now). I'd post a pic, but it's really too gross.

Here is a pic of me with the eye night guard that I wear only at night to protect it. Hides the ugly - and I'd wear it during the day but I have to ice my eye for 10 minutes every 30 minutes for 3 days... so not convenient to wear it.

Anyway, that's the update (probably TMI). I see the doctor for post-surgery appointment next Friday. He may want to take sutures out... but really hate that thought, don't want anyone touching it at this point. (It doesn't hurt... well, aches a bit, but not much... but the whole upper side of my face is sore - can't imagine taking those stitches out won't be painful). And yes, I'm a wus... 

Well, that's probably more than I intended to share. Sorry. Sometimes it helps to write it out.

Saturday August 9th... new A/C being installed today

I've not a lot to say today (not that usually stops me from posting), but we've been here in Texas without our downstairs A/C since Monday. Normally this would be life-threatening since it's been in the high 90's here most of the week. 

But... our upstairs one still works (old too - but still kicking) which helps cool the area right below the stairs (dining room and entry) and we have ceiling fans almost everywhere (as well as a few standing one that have been brought into use). So luckily it hasn't gotten over 87 F in the house... which is not great, but do-able.

And truth be told, I'm writing this because Blogger is giving me that new little pencil on the right side that is suppose to do 'something'... like perhaps bring more in to read blogs if certain things are mentioned like food or ?  Since I quit putting labels out a long time ago, I've been happy with my small group of readers. 

We were suppose to have DH's brother and his wife here this week. They come up every summer to visit, go to Ham's Peach Orchard, and a few other favorite places. But we had to cancel due to the A/C problem. No one wants to visit in Texas with no A/C available. 

Update on Sister-in-law: Doing better, out of ICU, but still in hospital. 

Paris Baguette 

I know that I sent pics of the Paris Baguette when we were in Houston, but now there is one that just opened not far from us. It had been open for just 3 days when we visited this past week. DH got his favorite cream donut and I got a grilled cheese on sourdough and my new favorite drink - a cold brew vanilla cream (so-oo good).

Since I've nothing more to say here, thought I'd send a pic of my new work station (too hot in office with A/C out). Besides, I love to see the insides of people's homes... helps to give me a better idea of who they are. Do you find that true?

As you can see, I haven't taken off the bunny tablecloth or figures (I really like my bunnies... but did put away the other Easter decor). 

And my granddaughter taught me a new game on Roblox. It's called "99 days in the woods" and basically it's a survival game (which normally I don't like), but it's interesting to play with her. She is great at shooting wolves and monsters that attack (I suck!). So I can survive if we play together as I can chop down trees and keep the fire going and she does the hunting and protecting. She and I lasted 54 days the first time we played. Alone I never get past 4...  

Ok, better shut this down before you all lose interest. But just a quick update on my eye: It's finally back to normal (or almost - still itches, but I can read again!)

Surgery is scheduled for August 21 and reconstruction (plastic surgery) the 22nd. Don't know how I will blog after that. There is a possibility they may have to sew my left eye shut for a month... (really really hope that doesn't happen!) Hoping the surgery won't have to entail too much of my lower lid... so reconstruction will just be a matter of sewing the area back together. Please pray that it happens that way... (thanks 🙏).

Have a good weekend! And thanks for reading this far... wasn't sure what I was going to write about... but my monkey mind took off!

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! August 1, 2025

 

Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit!

It's August 1st!  Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! 

I chose this pic as we really could use some luck this August... It has been and is continuing to be a summer to not remember.  My daughter in law is back in the hospital and so far the doctors are stumped as to what is going on. She has had 3 surgeries so far. And my biopsied eye is finally healing... only to have surgery in 2 weeks and have to heal all over again (yuk!).

Still wishing all of you a safe heathy happy August!
