notes on surgery.

1. make sure you make your nurses and doctors like you. i was exceedingly polite and charming (duh) and i think it helps.

2. make sure you get a prescription for heavy duty painkillers afterwards.

3. after surgery, whatever you do, do not ever, ever never ever sneeze. NO SNEEZING.

4. pick an online project and get lost in it because it's gonna be a while.

i had laparoscopic surgery last week and have been off my feet, as they say, since then. my husband is taking care of our son like a champ...i don't like the word champ. like a gladiator. like an adonis. (how does an adonis take care of a baby? i don't know. but i'd imagine pretty damn well.) like a...like a man who is a real man and takes care of a baby really well.

you see, now i have time for blog posts. i have lots and lots of time to post about what i'm doing. and thinking. any little teeny tiny thought skitters across my noggin...i better write that down! share that with the world! that's a keeper!

help me.
my butt hurts from sitting on it. i rotate from chair to a stroll around the apartment to the bed. i take a shower once in a while. i take a nap, i take a rest and compile recipes and photos of summer homes obsessively.

everything is perfectly all right here, ladies and germs. just another neurotic patient healing in the confines of her brooklyn apartment.

i finished watching "Cracker" which is a great show. the last two seasons are actually just an episode each and they are disjointed and strange...there's a huge 8 (?) year gap between the 4th and 5th season. not sure what happened there. some slapdash producing, perhaps?

anyway. i have to download photos off of my phone.

and do all the other things i can never do because i don't have the time.

i made a raw, vegan cheesecake. it's not cheesecake. its nuts. blended with dates and honey and lemon juice. it's tasty, but it ain't cheesecake.

ok! i'm going to sign off from my scintillating reporting. try to live without me. just try.
