today is my last day at work before the big day! i'm wrapping everything up and cleaning. yea for organization. i still have a few rooms in the house to clean tonight before packing. i've got to pack a hospital suitcase and a going to mama's house suitcase. i live alone and don't have any family around, so mom is taking me home to her house for a week to recover. oh the joys of 4 cats (my two plus her two), a newlywed mom and stepdad, and a crazy 80 year old oxygen cord dragging, walking farts grandmother. should just be a fun filled week. good thing i have enough homework to keep me busy for days and days. i've got all my exercise pants and new socks ready, and i'm sure by the time i come home that i'll have her whole neighborhood/side streets conquered. if all else fails, she's a few blocks away from walmart. a few laps around that place should count as exercise too, especially if it's raining. :D

i'm just so excited for tomorrow. in less than 24 hours, my surgery will be done, and i'll be out of recovery. i finally told someone what i'm going to do for my ultimate goal. when i reach 170, i am going to find a rock climbing place, and i'm going to scale one of those rock walls. i know it's not that big of a deal. it's not like it's sky diving, but it's something i always thought looked fun. i never thought i'd be able to do it, and i'm a chicken when it comes to heights anyway. i would have said go on a roller coaster, but the last time i was on one was in high school, and my fear of heights cured me of thrill rides. i can't even look at a viking ship anymore without getting queasy. lol. anyway, so much to look forward to. now i understand why people celebrate their surgiversaries. it really is a new beginning. luckily, my birthday is in 2 weeks too. so happy early birthday to me for taking such a big step. i might actually be close to "normal/average" by the time i'm 30. woohoo!!!!!!!!!
