sleep is good!

after days in an unfamiliar place, with vampires sucking blood in the night, men in white coats who poke and prod even when you're trying to sleep, it was SO good to get a full 5 hours' sleep without waking up!! i did roam the floor a little bit to stretch out the muscles, then went back to bed to read, and had a million and one ideas to write here in my blog. And now it's the end of the day, and my mind is tired, my body is tired; i happened to make it through the day without a nap! Which hopefully means i will sleep again all night :) it's been good to be here, surrounded by family, but i'll be glad to be home again, too. and back in my own bed. with familiar routines and places. Thanks to all of you who called and wished me well today! My boss, Dean; my daughter, Tanya; my bff Mel; my great true friend, John; and even my realtor called me today :) It was a good day; i put down the first portion of my down payment on my house.

hopefully, i will have brilliant thoughts come back to me that i will convey here when i am back on my own computer, in my house, in my world. HUGS to everyone!

Back to reality...

There's nothing like something life changing that makes one think about who they are, where they've been and where they're going. Life for me was like that these past 5 days. What started as a simple operation turned into a bigger deal than expected. What should have been a 3 day stay turned into 5. ugh. But I am happy to report that all went well and I should be back in the swing of things in the next couple of days.

Thanks to my daughter, Tanya, who took Terrific care of me every single day. And to my friends who sent messages and good wishes, especially John and Melanie -- your notes made my days worthwhile. I love you all!

HUGS to everyone... its great to be back!
