Today was a surgery milestone. Shower day. Every time I thought about the surgical wounds and removing the dressings, I was riddled with anxiety, so when it came time to actually go through with it, well, it's no surprise that I got cold sweats and almost passed out. Jon said my face turned blue.
I got through it though. And I went out in public with Jon. We went to the A&P for ginger ale (The pain meds are making me nauseous, again) and we saw my old boss, Jaime! I was happy to see her and we talked for awhile. Then I went home and felt sick some more and laid down til 11:30. Now I'm wide awake and wish I was still tired.
Today I (just barely) moved my letterpress out of it's little dusty corner in my bedroom and made a little collage of wood type in one of my chases.
I think I'm going to press it, you know to test out the ink color I have in mind for my first print block that I ordered Monday. That freakin' press is so heavy. I'm using my last paycheck from my old job to purchase a desk and shelving for my bedroom. I'll also be buying some sort of sturdy cart/table to hold my press.
I'd like to paint my room before all of this gets set up, but I don't know if I'll have time. I'm having surgery to remove my gall bladder next friday. I can't really lift anything for a few weeks afterwards.
Also today, I was feeling really down and out and when Jon got home he surprised me with flowers- pink tulips :)
In closing, Devan's got a kitty puppet to show you.
