Sucky Weekend
Holy crap - only 5 days until I have open heart surgery...
And how have I spent my final weekend before surgery? Did I go to some fabulous party? Did I go to another movie? Did I win the lottery? Did I jet out to San Diego for my friend's wedding? Did I meet Johnny Depp? (Okay, that last one was wishful thinking.)
Nope. None of the above. I'm SICK. With the stomach flu. I'll spare you the details, but I'll just say it hasn't been pretty or fun.
So yesterday was spent watching movies with Will (which is always fun), sleeping, and not eating.
What REALLY sucks is that my older sis, Lynn, and my younger sis, Melanie (I am the middle child) had a fun sister day planned for today. Lynn lives in LA and is here visiting with my adorable 2 year-old nephew. Melanie has finally moved back to the area after living out-of-state. (Hooray!) It's very rare that all 3 of us are able to spend time together at the same time.
We were going to go to Borders and burn our own CDs at their music bar, go out to eat, and go see The Devil Wears Prada. (I just read the book and loved it. Very entertaining.)
One other thing we were going to do was go to Walmart. I need a couple of new bras for after surgery. Why, you ask? Well, all of my bras are underwire and back closure. For after surgery, I need soft, non-underwire sports bras with a front closure. And I need to wear a bra because the girls will pull on my incision. Aaaahhh, the things we women have to go through...
So what am I doing today instead? Staying home and washing clothes. I'm washing all of my new comfy PJs and will be packing my bag for the hospital.
I am watching the Wimbledon men's championship match. I'm rooting for Roger Federer. He's up two sets to love over Raphael Nadal and is playing a 3rd set tiebreak. Oh the tension and suspense!
What a sucky weekend. And now I'm going to eat my very appetizing breakfast of saltine crackers and 7-Up.
