i'm tired!! all of mom's gardens (vast in numbers) are weeded and the trees are trimmed and branches cleaned up. it's taken me 3 weeks to complete this project and i hope (!!) tomorrow brings that to an acceptable end. 'course the deadline wasn't anything discussed, but i knew it must be done before mom's surgery on thursday.

with school out now, my lil man (yeah right!! he's almost 18 and 6' tall!!) has been a big help on the bigger stuff. thanks kid!

around the weather patterns-- which in ohio means 90 one day 34 the next, i've also been able to get mom's bedroom walls patched and sanded down. i'll paint her room while she recovers in the hospital. (well, that's the grand plan anyway!)

all good stuff-- 'cept my back is crying in pain!

we check mom in at 6:45am thursday... surgery begins at 8:45am. my brother is planning on being there with me-- shocked the shit outta me! i'm glad for the support.... i'm hearing too many "this is my last....." comments these past couple of days. thankfully we're doing a ton of laughing, too. it's balanced things for both of us. anyway, brother hasn't joined the pre-op fun in prior surgeries, which makes my head spin around wondering why this one and not the last two?! yes, i've managed to create all kinds of reasons..... i love my head. it doesn't matter really.... i'm simply happy he'll be there. i've had too much alone time with weeds and tree branches, that's all. =)

i'll do my best to update y'all. thanks for the prayers!!
