Saturday and one more day...

Friday is over...and not too soon. The day started okay..... instead of waiting for the House Faeries I decided I best do it myself while I can. Received the call giving me the surgery time for Monday... will be 1 PM Arizona time. All in all I will be there about 4 hours. So far I have done well getting organized for being right hand incapacitated. More to be done today. Getting some meals ready is not like me....do not like having too many things in the fridge already prepare but it is what I need to do. Tried using the left hand and a knife for cutting up vegetables...let's just say it is on the list along with climbing a step ladder. Yesterday afternoon it was out of my courtyard into the next to attend a celebration for Bob's 80th birthday. Rachel set out a nice spread of Hors d'oeuvres and a selection of wines.... good friends and nice chatter. Once back home I decided to do this and that. One of the that was to finish putting a print into a frame.

Into the garage to get the frame. I reached into the top of the cupboard and the frame came apart...evidently the backing was not secured to the front.... result a small but nasty cut on my wrist. Took quite a while before it stopped bleeding through the Band-Aids.  Dealing with someone else's blood is one thig, mine is a different story.Really sore today. So I stopped all that activity right away.

Yes, it is the Bottle Brush tree in front of my house but look closely...there is my Gila Woodpecker.... see him yet? Camouflaged with the bark. When he is getting ready to swoop down for a drink he calls out very loudly from the tree.

Then he hands and drinks. Yesterday his mate came along but was took quick for me to capture I picture. He is very entertaining hanging and swinging.
The craft cart is away and out of sight...so I will not feel tempted to try to do anything for the next few weeks. A few books are on the table waiting to be thumbed through...yes I do read on my tablet but these are in hand books. Sometimes I really like the feel of a book in hand. Trying to find a few good movies.. I am so fussy... to watch.  I found Agatha and The Truth of Murder....should have saved it! It was quite good.
Off I go to cut up veggies and make some chicken soup. Tomorrow I will swish clothes and fluff them. I admit to be nervous about the surgery.... anytime I have general anesthesia I worry. It usually take a little longer for my body to be rid of it..... guess I will be napping until Tuesday.
So nice that you took time to visit. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
