Quick check-in.....
« on: June 21, 2007, 03:47:40 AM »
Just wanted to let those of you who are wondering if I fell off the planet that I did.... been working like crazy and then found out less than 2 weeks ago that I was being moved up the wait list for my breast reduction which I had done on Tuesday.  So no digging of ponds for me now and that kind of bums me out because I had finally decided where to put one and had started digging. Got to love solid clay :S Anyway, apart from laying around, I'm not doing much. Pain killers are kicking in again so I'd better head back upstair and get some more sleep.

Krista, I was just going through the list of names and addresses I have in a little book. When I saw your name I wondered if you guys were OK because I hadn't seen any posts for a long time. I just figured you were unpacking yet. LOL.

"Bout time we saw something of you!

Lying around, on pain killers, not doing chores - some people pay big money for that.

Glad it's behind you.

Cheers,

Mike

I assumed you were busy with your new house, getting settled in. Was just thinking of you yesterday and meant to send you an email.

 Very glad to read you had your breast reduction. I know you wanted it very much. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Every woman I know that has had it done is happy about it.

Hi, Krista!   :)  It's good to see you.  I hope you recover soon.   :hug:

One of my daughters really needs to get that done.  Her breasts are just way too big and heavy, and a real PITA when she's trying to buy clothes.   :-\ I don't know where she got that from...it sure wasn't from me!   lol

Glad it went well for you.  Take it easy and relax and recover.  That pond will wait, right now you can just dream about what you can do to make it your dream pond.
 
Congrants and hope for a speedy recovery for you.

thanks everyone... recovery is cruising along. and I'm really enjoying the lighter load :) It's been a very long time in coming and I'm going to love it! My first fitness goal is going to be running a 10k next April... hopefully in Vancouver. Now that I will be able to run without wearing two bras and two tensor bandages :D

Sean, I still have a lot of work to do before we can go shopping...... maybe next spring a trip to LA? :D

In my fantasy I might save up for a trip to LA....you never know! The timing is a little soon for me though...

Hope you are recovering from the reduction Krista, your back will thank you for it!

Do remember to tell us how the move has been, and of course, we would love to see some PICS!

oh man, did I forget to update after the move? It has been crazy so I'll use that as an excuse :S

WEll, the move went really smoothly although everyone laughed at me. Those of you who know me well know how much of a planner I am... well, not only did I have every box labeled with a computer generated label for what room, but I drew huge maps of the house and had them on the side of the moving truck, the front and back door so that people could just look and see where things went. I even had furniture drawn in so they could just put the big pieces right into place :)

I even got cork flooring in my studio which included removing the carpet the second night we had the house :) And that was after I unpacked and organized the kitchen...lol.  Within 2 weeks, I had pretty much everything unpacked and sorted except the garage.

Love the new house :) It's so much nicer to live in with a way better lay out. My studio is a lot smaller but it's pretty well organized. And I put a little fountain in by the front walk too. Had planned to put one of my pre-forms in but surgery got in the way of digging out the clay. Ugh, didn't have to deal with clay at the last place. Anyway.. that's about it. I'll get some photos tomorrow with my new Canon Rebel XTI and post them here.

Oh, and the boobs are doing good too :) My back already thanks me and so does my wardrobe! Amazing what I fit into already!
