As you may have noticed, I didn’t post Wednesday’s blog.
On Wednesday, my sister, niece, and I were still driving from Florida back to Texas. Once we got back, we all kind of crashed. Then on Thursday, I spent the day catching up on laundry and, in between loads, catching up on sleep.
Friday, I flew back to Tennessee. After making it through the traffic, the dogs gave me a wonderful welcome home, I unpacked a few things, and—believe it or not—I went to bed early. If you know me, you know that almost never happens.
So yes, Wednesday’s blog eventually got written… I just never posted it.
And I’m not posting it today either.
Right now, my focus is getting ready for surgery tomorrow.
This is going to be one crazy week.
Monday: Thumb/wrist surgery
Tuesday: Recuperation
Wednesday: Nuclear stress test (unless my surgeon says no)
Thursday: Gastrointestinal appointment, nutritionist appointment, and dinner with visiting family
Friday: Drive to Indiana to spend a few days with friends
My goal for today was to get everything ready for the house and the dog sitter before surgery.
Yeah… that didn’t happen.
Now, about those videos I promised.
Last week, I posted a short video from the balcony of our hotel in Crystal River, Florida.
I know it wasn’t my best work. I get it. I’m new to making videos and, to be honest, I’m not thrilled with how I look right now. I’m working on improving my health and losing some weight, and I’m hoping to do it without medication. I’ve even thought about bringing you all along on that journey.
As for the video… I had my first naysayer.
He was discouraging, but I was actually proud of how I responded. I simply said, “Thank you for your opinion, but if you don’t like my videos, you can scroll past them, block me, or simply choose not to watch them.”
And guess what?
I posted my second video today.
I wonder if he’ll pop up again.
Either way, I’m not letting one negative voice stop me from doing something new.
Now, I’m getting sleepy, and my surgery is in the morning.
So I’ll leave you with my usual wish…
May your week be filled with hugs, love, laughter, and many blessings.
Goodnight.
Here’s a few pictures from my last day at the Ocean.
