I’m still on vacation until Monday morning  I had a lovely day today.  My son and I went to Newport, RI basically for lunch.  We didn’t want to spend a lot of money, so didn’t do much shopping, But we walked around, we both enjoy just being near the water.  We talked about his plans to move next summer, a little about mine.  Talked about the music festivals he’s going to.  He drove, I paid, lol.  It was a perfect summer day, just perfect.

I am having the carpal tunnel surgery 2 weeks from tomorrow.  My arm is so much better since I have been on vacation and can baby it.  Not looking forward to going back to work next week, for that reason (that I can’t baby it there) and for a lot of other reasons.

My son had planned to take the whole day off, so he could take me and stay with me at home after.  But hes switching jobs (after being at his job 4 years) and the new job is assistant manager for a brand new store, which has it’s grand opening the day of my surgery.  I can’t get the time for surgery til the afternoon before.  So I called the dr’s office today and explained the situation.  She said the latest I would go would be 10 and I’d be home by 1.  I think at that point he can go to work, I can get a friend to sit with me for the afternoon.  The woman at the dr’s office said she will call the surgery center and ask them to schedule me first, which means I would need to be there between 6 and 7 AM but would be home by 10.  So, it was all a relief to know that he could still take me and bring me  home and not have to worry about it.

Next Saturday I get new carpeting in my family room.  I’m pretty excited about that!

This Saturday I have a graduation party for my best friend’s daughter.  My friend asked me to make an appetizer and a dessert.  So I’ll need to get on that tomorrow.  I’ve got a few ideas.  The party will be fun, probably about 60 people.  I’m looking forward to it.

These are all small little moments.  My life seems to be full of them, and so all I can say is life is good.  I am very blessed to have such a great kid, and such good friends.  A rich full life.
