Happy Friday FS Friends
Went to the Beatles tribute concert again on Wed. Front row seat was way better than the back row behind a man with a big head. Sang and seat danced my way through it again. Adored the George Harrison imitator as he carried the persona well (that and I always was fondest of George anyways) At the end of the show he threw his pick at my feet (I was standing at that point) so the older lady beside me who was seated snagged it. Ah well. It was so good to get away mentally, if even for a short while from John's health issues.
Today, he went home for a few days which gives me the opportunity to start painting the room again. With his breathing issues, sending paint VOC into the air wouldn't be a good thing. He'll be back Monday afternoon as he has his first oncologist appointment to start further testing/scoping and hopefully treatment.
One thing I have learned about eating and stress. If I'm idle and stressed I'll eat inappropriate things / amounts. So I've been keeping busy - deep cleaning the house room by room. I came so close to almost having an oops today as I went out to stock up on dog food and thought to pop into the local convenience store to pick up a couple of lottery tickets. Normally this store has the best donuts so I told myself that if they had toasted coconut, I'd get one. The universe was smiling at me though as they were sold out. Whew.
Little Miss Olive's surgery went well. She lost 23 teeth, now has 12 left and is recovering nicely. My pocketbook is substantially lighter as a result (with preop bloodwork and the surgery ~$4000 CAD in total). Good thing my furbabies are family and mean the world. Here's a picture of her.
Over and out
