getting ready

getting ready for surgery tomorrow. is anyone ever ready for something like this? i've been having anxiety about it and your mind always goes to worse case scenarios. i find if i get in the word, it helps me tremendously. i also pick up the afghan i'm working on and it helps calm me. bruce took today off to be with me and he's sleeping, i've been doing laundry and paid a bill and just piddling around. just got off the phone with my mother-in-law and my mom. mom won't be able to be at the hospital with us because she's been having alot of pain. our family doctor is going to be seeing me post-operatively tomorrow. she said she was managing my care after the surgery. i love her to pieces. i need to get a sprinkler out on the garden. everything is so dry. bruce wanted to know what i was going to do for fun and i said well, laundry and i'm going to home depot for a sprinkler and after it runs a few hours, i'm going out to the garden and weed. i need to stay busy. it helps me. i've picked some zucchini out of the garden, our green beans are blooming and looking good. our corn has tassled. our onions are huge. who knows what we did to make them so big? but they're the biggest we've grown. my sunflowers are about to bloom. we have watermelon on and we have a few tomatoes starting to ripen. they're itty bitty but still home grown. my hot pepper plants are doing well. i have them in pots on the front porch. i better water them today as i think about it. i found out how to get rid of the pesky gnats that fly around here. they came in some organic potting soil, take a small bowl and put about 4 drops of dish soap and pour some apple cider in the bowl and they fly in and because of the dish soap, they can't fly out and they drown. now i have bowls all over the house. i better go and get busy. take care everyone and God Bless. love, Treasa
