I feel so much better!

Today has been more relaxing than the past few days. Yippee. I started thinking that I was over-doing everything. I mean, I took time off to relax and de-stress my life not to get caught up with different projects or activities. That totally defeats the purpose of not working for awhile. I am feeling so much better physically. I almost feel back to normal. Not much pain at all, if any. So, I just have to remember that even though my body seems to be fine, my insides are probably still in the healing process. Sometimes, I just can't help it. It's easier to stay active than to mope around and do nothing. And I am absolutely a Type A person. I'm always in a rush and I like to get things done quickly, even to the point where I neglect the essentials...you know, sleeping and eating! I really have to chill out. It's well know that Type A people die at an earlier age. Stress is also a factor with my condition. Isn't that incentive enough to re-evaluate my habits and lifestyle? Yes, I believe so. So, I have set new goals for myself and I am adamant about sticking to them. Balance is definitely the key for me.

Francis is downstairs and he better not be sleeping or watching TV. We agreed that there would be no TV or sleeping during the daytime until the clothes in the guestroom are folded. Francis stores all his clothes in there. I hate it. We had planned to go to Ikea today to purchase our dressers, etc. for the master bedroom. Right now all of our clothes are lying around in laundry hampers because we don't have any where to store them. We sold our original dressers/night tables a few months ago and since then have been living in chaos. The whole house is in chaos. We need to organize everything. I just hope that the guestroom gets cleaned up today.

Arlene's housewarming and the late x-mas pot-luck will be on saturday. Arlene suggested that we bring desert. I wonder what I'll make. It will be nice to finally see her house. We got her a black frame because I'm sure that will go with her decor. She loves black. Okay, the girl weekend plans are going well. Unfortunately, Vangie's dad passed away last week. She went to the PI and won't be back until the 30th. I wonder if she'll stick make it. It looks like Lorraine might not be making it because she has a cold. That's to bad. We have all our plans set to it looks like it will be a very fun weekend as always.

I have been missing all my TV shows lately. Luckily, the Bachelorette, Celebrity Mole, and the Simple Life will be on tonight. Woo-hoo. I can't wait.

Oh, almost forgot, my 3rd post-op is tomorrow.
