Hi friends,

I don't normally post on a weekend, but Monday will be a hard day for me. I have the last of my dental surgeries on Monday morning (say a prayer for me, please). I dropped off my consent papers yesterday. I'll be sedated, but awake enough to answer questions or respond to the doctor as needed. I hate sedation of any kind, it makes me feel out of my head, and I really, really don't like that feeling. I'm also scared of the after pain. I think I'm just worn out by pain in general. The anxiety this week has been eating me alive. It will be good to have this behind me.

I won't be posting Monday afternoon, as would be my normal routine. But I hope to get back to posting sometime in the week, at the very least to let you all know I'm doing fine. I also want to respond to your comments from this past week. I haven't forgotten, just been sidetracked.

One of my daughters got suddenly very sick this week. She'd been substitute teaching for 3 weeks, then just woke up so very sick the other morning. It's not Covid, but she was quite sick. She's improving now, thankfully. But it's been a rough few days. On top of caring for her, I've had to be extra careful myself not to catch anything, as that would have postponed my surgery by another month. Too much anxiety right now. Things will improve later in the week, I am confident of that.

Anyway, I hope your weekend has been beautiful and wish you a wonderful start to the week!

Be back very soon,

Lili
