Hey there.

Thankfully doing better today. As though that would be tough considering the crap sandwich I was chewing on last time I wrote. What helped? A few things.

1) lots of tears. I was waterworks for almost the entire day straight.

2) hugs and snuggles (and a few irritated harsh-ish words) from the hubby. Good to put me in my place when I wind myself up too far. Especially when you're squeezing me.

3) good OT session. My OT had no idea I was so frustrated and when she found out she told me to just skip the putty all together and gave me other stuff to work on. Also helped that I made Mom tell her so I wouldn't star crying but then Mom started randomly crying so I cried anyway. Oh well.

4) Ephesians 6. Man that armor of God passage is a good one. Spent some time on that just praying and asking for help remembering to outfit myself with that armor.

Spent today running errands. Got my bangs trimmed and got my facial jewelry taken out to prepare for surgery in just 2 days. Ooooooh, can't wait. I think I'm sort of ignoring the reality that it's going to hurt like heck but that's okay. I'm slowly owning up to the fact that it'll be a set-back in a few ways. One of which will be getting dressed - mostly pulling up my pants will be tough. Another will probably be showering. We'll see what else is in store. I'll update probably by bitching about it when I get there. Ooh, fun to look forward to for all of you.

Don't think I've got much else. Oh, but I did get the sweetest soap dispenser at Target today. Pretty sure Josh will hate it but I love it enough to make it worth it still. It's a big yellow duck with a bobbly head. And the best part is that it quacks when you push down on the plunger! Heck yeah!!! And it quacks for kind of a long time too! Awesome!!! And I named him Winston.

One more thing - just wanted to say a big thanks to everybody who replied to my last post. Sure means a lot to find out people care enough to keep up and then even a little more to reply. That helped me get through that little bout of depression. So thank you. You are all certainly playing a pretty mighty role in my recovery! I couldn't imagine doing this alone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Much love,

Ang
