Turn Up the Good!

Whew! It's been crazy but all the moving is done. My mother and niece are here. Today, we finished unpacking every box. HOORAY! I love my apartment. It feels like a house, it really does. Many friends have stopped by and can't believe all the space I have. Bright sunshine comes in all rooms all day. The guest room turned out prettier than I'd even imagined. Come visit!

I have a lovely view of the yard, with a hill on which all the bunnies chase each other. My mom was saying they should've named this place Watership Down for all the bunnies. Emily likes that too.

Everyone here seems to have a dog or two. Emily goes out without a leash--she's the best old dog. Today was the first day Emily seemed completely relaxed and had her old lady naps on time. Bless her sweet old heart, she's had it rough the past couple of weeks. When her Nani and Rebekah showed up, Emily rejoiced. It was as if she'd wondered how they'd ever find us. You should have seen her popping her "wheelies" in joy outside. Adorable and joyful.

The plan is to go out and buy drapes for a few more windows (red velvet in the bedroom) and the hardware along with some other bits. Rebekah will get some shoes. Mom will get sore feet. OH! We're starting the day with manicures and pedi's. My feet are a disgrace and my hands look as if I just brought in a crop of something. No lie.

Tuesday's plan--hang drapes and any other bits we find. You KNOW I'll find things too. Almost all decoration is done except my bathroom. It's quite plain at the moment. We will also have to shop for post op liquids. First week after surgery is thin liquids. Second week is full liquids. BIG time. FULL liquids, baby! You know it will be delicious though.

Wednesday's plan--cut holes in my belly and stick a band around my stomach. So many fun and good things going on. I'm pumped to diet for the very last time of my life! Let's get it done.

I'm a happy girl, but I feel as if I've not seen 1/2 my friends in so long. If you're in town, please come see me soon. If you're not in town, come see me as soon as possible. I get to feeling unbalanced when I get off kilter with you.
