My Journey Notes:
It’s been a sort of crazy week as we prep things for my surgery next week. 1st of the month bills paid, and there’s a bit of info for T and A to have just in case they need more details on things since I generally take care of the financial stuff for our household.

Grocery shopping is done and I think we’re pretty well stocked up on soft foods for a few days and stuff that is easy to fix for everyone else. Though, we’re still waiting for delivery of some fresh handmade tamales from a local source. Hoping they’ll get here today. I’d love to have tamales for dinner this evening!

I think the scariest thing about this upcoming surgery is how the anesthesia might impact things. I watched Dad deteriorate so quickly after his hip surgery last year and that’s really scary to me.

I’ve noticed that I’ve slowed down a lot in being able to get things done. It’s bugging me. I used to be able to put a whole stack of cards together in a few hours and now, it may take me a couple of days to finish that task. I figure close to 3 days now to get 20 cards made and in envelopes and that’s a card that doesn’t have lots of layers or fiddly details. I’m not sure I can attribute is solely to age, but getting distracted or forgetting where I was in the process seems to be more the culprit. We’ll see how this next card/project unfolds itself and all.
