Monday Rambles

Well, I guess there's not too much to ramble about today, is there?  Didn't do a whole lot last week other than get hacked on and end up with a lot of staples and sutures in me.  I head back to work on Thursday, after getting the ports out on Wednesday (and hopefully getting the path reports on Sixtus).

Again, thanks so much to all of you who have sent me comments and emails during and after my surgery.  Every day brought me another sweet, uplifting note or two, and it really did mean a lot to me.  I hope that all of you are also doing well, thus far into 2013.

In the meantime, I'm hoping to get a bunch of posts drafted and scheduled, plus some pricing, packing and sorting stuff done.  (Assuming my lifting restrictions are lifted.)  I've got to swing by both booths for a major tidy, foof, and re-do.  I still have Xmas out at Peddlers Mall for goodness' sake.  It's also still selling--go! go! go!!!!!

I think I'll end up spending most of the weekend to come at Peddlers.  I have a massive rearrange in mind that will take a while to get through.  I'm wanting to sell off the walls dividing my space, but they're not accessible to any prospective buyer at the moment.  I have an idea that will make my space look completely new and make it super-easy for someone to load those suckers on a cart and make off with them.  I'll try to remember to do pics.

We're coming into the busiest time of the year for re-sale--TAX TIME!  I've got to finish getting better and get out there and work it!

One of the things about being in the hodpital that I hated was not being able to use my C-PAP machine.  Someone looked at it and said that it wasn't "clean enough" to use in the hospital.  (What's a little cat hair?  C'mon folks!)  They had me on an oxygen monitor, which worked for their end of things, but I need that sucker so I can sleep.  Sleep apnea, anyone? You know, the reason people use C-PAP machines?  By Wednesday, I was getting so little deep sleep that I could not keep my eyes open for more than a few minutes at one time.  I actually had the choice to stay in the hospital another day, but chose to go home, so I could get some sleep.  First thing when I got home, I hooked my dirty ole machine up, put my mask on, and fell into a deep, lovely sleep!  I woke up several hours later, feeling much, much better just from the rest.

I would love to maybe find a little bit of Xmas clearance left, but I am pretty sure that ship has sailed.  Of course, I do have a little bit of prep to do to get ready to return to work.  Surgery aside, I really needed the holiday break.  Our last session was pretty intense!

Sorry this one is so lame.  Hopefully, I'll have some better posts this week/month to make up for it.  In the meantime, please enjoy what I believe hands down to be the absolutely, frickin' cutest kitten video on the internet.  It even won a prize recently from Friskies to prove it!
