Mahna Mahna Mood-lifter

My friend Deb sent me a link to the Mahna Mahna video on You Tube earlier that brought a much needed smile to my face. I figured I'd share it with all of you. I don't think she even knew that, crazy people that Del and I are, we actually sang that song together on our first "non-date." :-D I embedded it in my blog page so you can share the smile if you'd like.

While I've been working on being "InvinciBarb" today, I'm actually achieving more of a tired and anxious Barb. I took the cashier's head off at PetSmart, where I had to take Daisy for a visit today, when it was taking her an inordinate amount of time to print a receipt and get me out of there. I can't even remember what other service or visit she wanted to schedule for next week or the week after, but I replied shortly with, "I'll be having surgery then, so if I could just pay and leave already, I'd appreciate it!" :-( Afterwards, I found myself thinking I must have been momentarily invaded by the pod people or something.

On a brighter note, the house is in a little better order now after Sally stopped by to visit and help out with some unpacking and straightening up this afternoon, so that does help. I'm trying hard to just have faith and let go. There's a lot that just won't get done before surgery no matter how much I insist on stressing about it. Del informed me of something that got past me in the doctor's office on Monday that actually sheds a whole new light on having just a week and a half notice before surgery. He told me that the surgeon had first said that he thought we could get this done by the end of the month (it was still July then). Del replied, "Which month?!" The surgeon answered matter-of-factly, "This one, July. Oh, it seems this Thursday is out, so what about next Thursday, August 7th?" So the surgery could've been yesterday, in which case none of these preparations I'm working on would've been of any concern and the world would've gone on just fine in any event. So with each extra thing I manage to cross off my long to do list, I remind myself...It could've been yesterday already.
