Follow up surgery to my reconstruction scheduled for tomorrow. Prayers and positive thoughts appreciated.

Okay, I just read some of the scrollback to hear updates... aaaah! some exciting stuff!

balon! What line of work are you in?
Happy to hear there was good training.
That's a sign of forward-looking investment!

Also, RE: Brazil, that is one of my sister's favorite movies.
Like your fiance, I am someone who doesn't have much movie-watching experience.
But I married a guy who wasn't very motivated to watch movies either.

So over the years, together, we've watched like... "Inception" and LoTR movies... "High Noon." a few others!

Menolly- I'm seconding (or thirding) peoples' congrats to you!

Skyweir- Hihihihihi!!

StevieG- Ahh! I have -often- battled burnout.
A few years ago, I noted that when I was teaching a gifted kids, (in classes - one-on-one tutoring is easier.) I seemed to be dodging burnout every few weeks or months!
You run a small business... I suspect this whole burnout-risk thing is one of the Trials of Leadership (tm).

deer- been thinking of you guys, of course.
If any books are referenced by the presenters at your Prague conference, you will create a thread mentioning them when you get back?!?!?

As for me over here, oh my... well, we just finished taxes, and so lots of the stress of last week is behind me. Hopefully.

Home from surgery. This was basically clean up of the reconstruction. I had back fat left behind from the mastectomy and fat and tissue grafts which has hardened due to rejection removed, and areas filled in around the breasts via liposuctuon from my inner thighs. I'm in a lot more pain than I expected, as I thought I would be able to work tomorrow. But, I can barely lift either leg, due to the pain. When I attempt to walk, I'm basically dragging my left leg.

Hopefully that will improve tomorrow...

Thanks for the prayers and healing thoughts!

Chin up, you'll be better soon.

Mid week...have to go meet a client who's currently not very happy with us, so really looking forward to that. Otherwise, just hanging on for the long weekend...

A courageous conversation coming your way

Hope it goes well

Menolly hope your recovery goes well ... I may have offended your friend by saying everyone should have a little weed in their day

or something along those lines. Cos yeah NOT bad.

Sounds nasty all that scraping and sucking, its bound to take its toll. Speedy healing

Ah, it went fine luckily.

Last day before the long weekend, have decided to close a bit early.

Meeting up with a very old friend of the family for lunch on Friday, (she has an art restoration business in the UK and is visiting), and other than that, hopefully the long weekend will be my own.

Not a separate thread, but I will mention:
Smith, J. K. Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview and Cultural Formation; which I haven't read but looked really valuable as it kept getting referenced.

Free Us From Bullying, Real Solutions Beyond Being Nice, by Paul T. Coughlin, which I actually bought.

I also got a free book about leaving a legacy, but I won't gush about that till I figure out if it's worthwhile.

Another blessing from Prague was on our last day I went out and found a walking trail (they seem to be all over) and got to enjoy a cool Spring day with flowers blooming and birds singing... we don't usually get to experience spring in temperate climes, so it was especially enjoyable.

Stag has malaria, and I have a migraine, so we're just hanging out and puttering... thankful it's a long weekend!!

Menolly, take it easy, enjoy the long weekend, and let's all be thankful for Spring!

Lovely sunny day and heck, I feel good.

Was out on the town with workmates last night. The only thing that'll induce me to drink beer. Managed to get home soberish.

Opened my Easter present. A Behringer Xenyx Q mixer. Couldn't be happier it sits perfectly on top the mini guitar amp.
Made a quick recording - all is well in the studio.

Sounds like you are having a good Eater Luke.

Easter presents eh?

We arent even doing eggs this year. Well its just me and hubby and our baby girl is coming home to visit on Sunday. And shes prepping for comps .. so noooo chocky for her. And it seemed kinda lame us swapping eggies

Happy Easter, Happy Ostre.. happy happy one and all

Post by **Skyweir** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 1:49 am

Oh YES Linna .. we should do that but we can wait till your life regains its equilibrium

cos we is a chatbane tag team ... cant do it without my tag team partner.

I truly genuinely miss you and your unique brand of weirdiosity

dont be a stranger .. souls here need their Heartbooger

Note that its the latter half of THAT nic that conjures a desire to wretch .. how about Heartlover or Hearthealer

Just putting that out there

Its a Christian thing, like Christmas. Its the time when the Magi set out on their journey to see the Lord and the giving of gifts.
Actually, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, were the names of their camels and to what each one was carrying, (see the gospel of Matthew).
There were many wise men, and women, in the caravan from the east.

We did get little gifties on Easter from our grandparents when we were kids, but it's not something we did with our children. We just made them each baskets with candy dyed eggs and doodads... Since our kids are grown, Easter consists of eating a few jelly beans, a special bread made with cardamom and almonds to snack on all day, and Church. I was leading the songs this morning and playing my guitar, which is my happy place.

Feeling better from malaria although still a complete lack of motivation or energy. It's also really hot. Down to the final few weeks of school, which is kind of unbelievable!

Fawn of the dawn is at Coachella. She said Kanye West was going to lead a Sunday Service, but I hope to God she was kidding.

EDIT: Sadly, she wasn't.

Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Spring!!!!

"weirdiosity" - I really love the former half of that word!

Hahaha Deer yes .. we were Christians and Easter was the egg time .. another pagan appropriation

not really a gifting time for us anyhoo.

But yeah we gift at xmas.

This week looks to be a slow week .. which I am looking forward to .. so I can get some work done around the house and property.

I painted timber yesterday that I will use in the construction of window boxes, I have polyanthas however thats spelled .. to go in the shady side of the house .. and pansies on the sunny side.

Gosh there are soooo many projects to get on with but this is a nice one to begin with

Sounds so much like Spring...and yet I know it's the opposite for you.
