Running Out of Time

I am officially running out of time. Tuesday I go back to the cut, stitch, and drill at the hospital. Knowing this was coming, I tried to prepare my best. My doctor said it would be 5 weeks before I could drive again, and so I decided I needed to make a list of everything I wanted to do before then. It took a long while to really figure out what I wanted to do before surgery. After considerable effort this was the list I made:

* run, a lot
* walk, a lot
* take the stairs, a lot
* play racquetball, ski, go to the gym, a lot
* enjoy standing up to wash hair, a lot
* plop down on the floor and sit Indian style, a lot
* "pretend" to forget things, so I can run back to get them, umm, yeah, a lot
* work hard at school, a lot, a lot
* stare at feet, wiggle them around, feel grateful, a lot
* drive to places I soon will not be able to drive to, a lot
* stock up on yummy food, mm hmm, a lot

I have worked very hard to accomplish these very technical goals, and now I am so exhausted, I think I will be ready Tuesday to rest, a lot.
