It's a little after eleven, and I'm going to be regretting staying up this late when I have to force myself awake in the morning. I do love this time of the night, though, because it's very peaceful. Not a lot of cars are driving, I don't have any obligations, and to me, as much as I love the warmth and color of the sunshine, it is rather rude on the sentiments.

My room is a big mess. It has been for months, and I just can't find the time or energy to clean it. Last weekend I made a little bit of progress, but that progress has been regressing as the week has gone on. I'm hoping that Saturday morning I can but a little spring in my step and get to it! Otherwise, I'm never going to be able to paint my room.

Momda booked our flights to Denver tonight. Wee! It's weird how psychologically our minds work. I am very excited about the trip, but I am sad that the flight money is leaving my bank account. That's normal, I assume, but no one really ever admits it to themselves or their audience. I would like to lose some pre-op weight before the trip, of course.

Tomorrow I go to see Dr. Childs. He's my PCP and I believe he will be very excited to hear about my progress towards surgery! It's strange, he's very much the only doctor I've ever been to that I feel that I can sit and talk to for hours. Which, sometimes we do! He's a very compassionate doctor and (as a rarity) enjoys spending time getting to know his patients.

On to a bit of pop culture ... I watched/listened to the video of the perfunctorily famous Susan Boyle (is that her name?) today.. and needless to say, I was stunned. I had to hold back the tears as to not look like a fool in front of my family, but, I was wow'd. And I can't quite decide whether it was simply her talent that roused me, or the combination of said talent with her unconventionality that had such an affect on me. Either way, she was brilliant and I will be one of many, I'm sure, to buy ANY album she comes out with. Okay, well, only if it's beautiful remakes of Broadway hits, but, I'll give her iTunes a dollar or two otherwise .

Anyway.. there is something dancing in the back of my mind that I need to do before I go to bed, but I can't quite pick it out, so I'm going to get ready for bed and hopefully it will come to me.

Goodnight!
