I have news! First—and most important—Millard Care and Rehab is once again open to visitors. I will be hugging Mom—live and in person—on her actual birthday this weekend. The old broad’s hugs and kisses have always been grand, but somehow they are especially dear to me since Mom has been in the care center. We can’t wait to see her. Skitter is already practicing her rendition of the “Happy Birthday” song for Mom.
The second bit o’ news I can give out to y’all is that my pancreas surgery has been officially re-scheduled. I’m scheduled to be going under the proverbial knife at Huntsman in mid-October. I do hope the operation doesn’t need to be pushed back again. I’m ready for this to be done, whatever the outcome. Cross your fingers, toes, and pancreases that the surgery will happen as scheduled.
You’re already looking at the third bit o’ news. Today, I purposely tried to match by going all houndstoothy with floppy houndstooth Bow Tie o’ the Day and houndstooth Face Mask o’ the Day. (I don’t think I own a houndstooth shirt, but don’t quote me on that. I must research it.) What really makes this extra-bigly news is that matching these two items of my attire did not even make me break out in hives or hyperventilate. Perhaps I’m finally growing up and out of my unconventional ways. But I doubt it.🤓
