Today I:
* went to the Western Wear shop and purchased a GREAT hat and damn it all if these cute little boots managed to slip into the bag, too.
* spent half a day at the hospital, essentially signing my life away, and arranging for part 2 of my procedure for next week - which apparently "stars" a large needle and my left boob.
* went to the bookstore and purchased 5 or 6 "gosh, I wish I had" books - including "The Bro Code" which, 'tho I'm a chick, I intend to use as a guideline with the goal of helping me better understand the other half of the population.
* drank my coffee at my regular coffee shop, instead of taking it to go. After all, I spent plenty of time at home yesterday, so I wanted a change of scenery.
* had every good intention to talk to my parents, my loved ones, my friends and those that have been incredibly kind to me in 2008 to let them know about what's going on with that second "*" up there ... but I have instead turned off all phones and have given myself permission to freak out - just a little. I'll be ok tomorrow ... or Sunday.
* got a note from my favorite shipping employee at my old gig who has told me of a package that arrived from out of the country. I know what this package is, who it is from, and ... the timing is all just rather incredible.
* decided that it's time for me to visit my hair salon again - next week if I'm able to. A great hat may come in handy but as long as I have my hair, I intend to enjoy it.
* blogged ... when I SHOULD have called my parents, loved ones, friends, etc ...
* realized that I'm scared, excited, tired, jubilant, hopeful, and at peace all at once. I will let all of these feelings and emotions wash over me, as they occur.
I may go offline for a bit - or I may be so nervous that I don't. Please note that I'm currently fine, I have every intention of being fine next week, and I have a ever-growing staff of doctors and nurses who intend to help me redefine "fine" from here on out.
I will continue to fall to grace.

I am so excited that the package arrived and you shall be able to have it in time for your procedure! I hope that you make it to the ol' shipping department and thank your friend for me for letting you know.
I intend to hook up Shipping with an unexpected whomping mess of FMD jam very soon - and will deliver it with bagels and an angel food cake.
Kinda amazing how great they still are to me, considering I haven't worked there since Aug 1! :-)
Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "Everything will work out in the end and I will be fine."
I'll be thinking about you and sending healing and loving thoughts your way this week.
I wanna see a picture of you in that hat! Cowgirls rule!
Love and Kisses, Diane
Lots of fun distractions have been e-mailed.
You have my number if you need it.
You can wear that great new hat and boots at BIND5 - a/k/a Biners Go Mad 1 - or whatever else we come up with before next Fall.
