The Home Photography Experience™ - Day Four

I went to Concert on the Square with Jacquelyn and [personal profile] brdgt.  We met up with [profile] mystickeeper and her boyfriend and a bunch of other people like Jacqui's friend Julia, whose name I will remember (usually I don't) and a bunch of mystickeeper's work friends.   It was a Gershwin night and Rhapsody in Blue was the highlight.  I drank much too much wine and ate triple-creme brie.  It was a great time.  Of course, I am drunk, but hey, that's okay.

My sunburn is peeling, which is gross to most people, but kind of cool for me.

I scheduled my surgery.  I have to be in Utah on July 20th for my surgery prep.  I'm, afraid, but in the way a prisoner is afraid of the end of his sentence.  After seven years of fear, I find I am almost more afraid of freedom.  Granted, in order to get out of my particular prison, I have to subject myself to open heart surgery.  Literally.


My Desk is Usually Messy

That looks a lot like my old desk! Emphasis on 'old' because if I kept my current desk that way, Jessica would probably lock me -- and the desk -- out of the house. ;)

Best of luck with everything regarding the surgery. It sucks to have to face something this serious this early in life, but on the upside you couldn't be more healthy and prepared for it than you are now in your 20s. You've got the right state of mind too -- just stay focused on the aftermath because by the end of next month you'll be in better shape than you've been in upwards of a decade.

My desk is usually much cleaner, or rather it goes in cycles from clean to messy. It's just inside the door, so everyone uses it for the arrival/departure staging area :P

I had the actual clot which led to the discovery of the fibrosis back in 2001, almost exactly 7 years ago. I was 23. Now, I am 30 and will turn 31 just before my surgery. This has been a strange 7 years.
