Today was a strange one to say the least.  I am getting prepared for gallbladder surgery next week and had to spend the morning at the doctors office for pre-op work ups.  I will be so glad when this is over.  Just waiting for another of those horrible attacks can be very stressful.

In the meantime I am trying to occupy my time coming up with some new ideas.  While I'm recuperating, I think I will drag out the canvas, paints and other bits to create a collage.  We shall see - I'll be off work for 10 days!

Just looking at this wonderful photo from our trip to Palm Desert makes me feel better - of course it is over 100 there right now so all-in-all I'm glad to be right where I am.
