Back to life

I went to the dr yesterday which was a month into recovery and he said everything was fine and that I wouldn't need to come back for a year unless I had problems.
So now on with life. I ordered some new burn out tees to print, I love them, they are so vintage and soft. I've got lot's of things coming in for my setup at the shop, can't wait for it all to come in.
I just got finished making some soap in Juicy couture, smells wonderful. The problem at first was that I did not have my wooden mold fixed just right and soap got everywhere in my kitchen. As if that were not enough, I tried to fix omelets for dinner tonight and that was something that I could do perfect before but for some reason tonight it was a complete flop, I ended up scrambling it. I saw Brooke kind of poking around at her plate like she was afraid to tell me it was bad, so I told her we would just give it to the dogs, I think I saw a smile on her face. I'm not trying that again for a while. Right now the kitchen is a nightmare but I had to get out and take a break.
I'm about to watch a crafting live web show that comes on tonight.

It is done

I have finally had my hysterectomy Monday. My doctor used the da Vinci robotic arm, which is better on recovery, I don't know why all doctors aren't trained to use it. I have had the best doctor and everyone that has worked on me, they were all so nice, it makes a big difference when you have people that want to help than just put in hours. It took over 7 hours and my doctor had to chop it in pieces to get everything out and I am so thankful that he took the time to do so instead of just opening me up and getting it out the other way which would be worse. After all the months and shots to have the da Vinci and to wake up and see that we had to do it the other way would have been bad for me.  When I came to I was very shocked that I had the pain that I felt in my  arms, it hurt more that anything. Found out it was because of the gas, I'm better today. I can tell a difference in my walking already, I should have done this years ago.

March 5

Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shinning and it got up in the 50's. You have got to love weather like that after a long cold spell.
I have been creating tonight, now I want to get to a scrapbook store, as if I have a shortage of supplies here. I wonder if I am the only one that will purchase something I think is so pretty just to get it home and worry about messing it up and not doing anything with it, I even do that with paper, we're talkin' paper, it's not going to break me if I have to purchase another sheet. Now that I have gotten my slice I am better about it.

March 4

Today I was all set in my mind for surgery. I did the prep last night, got up at 3 went to the hospital, they gave me 2 IV's a shot in my ab for thinning blood, took blood which hurt the most because she couldn't find a vein. Then they wheeled me into OR and was getting me ready when everyone was watching my heart monitor and then I heard my doctor say " we may not be able to do this today " . They had someone else come in and look it over and that's when my doctor told me that I would have to see a heart doctor and find out what the next move is. I think the doc will take one look at me and say lose some weight.
I had the hard part behind me, now I get to do it all over again. I guess I should not complain it could always be worse, I mean, I don't know what the doc will tell me Monday, I hope " everything's fine, you just have a skipping heart beat".
I have so many plans in the works and I have kinda put them on hold until recovery. I guess that is why I was so depressed when I came home. Now that I have had time to think about it things really do happen for a reason, all in God's time. I don't know why this happen today but He does. As for the plans, I am starting tonight and going ahead and when I have this surgery I will simply put everything on a slight hold or do what I can. I think I am afraid that I will be down for 5 to 6 weeks, that is what most say. I keep thinking everyone is different and it is what it is.
On a positive note, I now know what to expect when I go in next time and isn't that where fear comes from, the not knowing.

I am a big Tim Holtz fan and I posted something of his a few days ago which looking back is so true.
" the mind determines which is possible. The heart surpasses it"
I guess today my heart said " we are not doing this today"

Volcano

Tonight Brooke and I worked on a volcano project for her class. It looked easier on youtube. Plaster everywhere, now we have to get up early to finish painting, we started too late ( both of us forgot ). I was sitting here at my desk and thought " what little crafting project can I do " that is when it hit me. I wish we could have finished it tonight, oh well at least I remembered and got the plaster part done, that would have be too late in the morning.

I have added some prints to etsy. They could be for a child or baby. Cutie Pie is my design, I don't draw much but I liked this, illustrator makes it easier.

Last Dr appointment B 4 surgery

Today went through the testing for surgery, I am so glad that is behind me now. The Dr and nurses are all the nicest but I am ready for this surgery to be over. I was in such a good mood knowing that the time was near that the Dr. said " you do know that you are having major surgery, right? " I'm like "when will I be at my right state of mind, will there be pain pills" He's like oh there will be pain meds,  me, no you don't understand, I don't want pain relief at first because I want to know my level of pain. I don't know why that is so important for me to know.

I missed Kell on Earth downloading it now on iTunes, I like to play the episodes while I'm on here. I LOVE that show, any show that has someone living their dream is pretty cool but mix that with fashion and make up and I have died and gone to heaven. When I lose this weight, yet again, there will be a shopping trip that is going to be epic ( need to start saving now , that or build up an awesome credit card collection ).

It has snowed here last week and today was Brooke's first day back to school. I told her we have another round coming Friday so who knows they might get out some next week. Didn't you hate it when it snowed like on a Friday afternoon or Saturday and didn't get to miss school because of it.
I have been busy with listings and new things. I have started making 8 1/2 x 11 prints of my camera prints. I think that I need to make some more screens of more of my cameras for prints.
I am also working on screenprinting throw pillows. I think that would be cute.

Well I am going to make this short, lot's to do.

Update

I do let a lot of time pass by before I post. Lot's going on. Brooke got moved in and enrolled in school here. We got her a computer so now I let her have the internet most of the time. I bought 2 different wireless hook ups but I lost one of the adpters and it will not work with just any one. I am having problems with them, but I know that if I take the time to do it, I can get it done.
New years resolutions:
1: Worked on a budget today to follow.
2: Weight loss, working on that with Maker's Diet.
3: Get healthy, going to Dr. appointments, gave up caffeine for that too.
4: Get my life organized, always in the middle of that
5: Get my HST ink out there more.
6: Working on my scrapbooks by printing out photos, not just leave them in computer
7: Take more photos
8: Get to church more often ( should have been #1 on here ) .
9: Study photography more
10: Try to post more often on here.

Well that is my list, I think I can handle it.
Oh and it snowed here Thursday, Brooke was tickled as all the little kiddies ( no school ). I got out in the yard and took some photos.
