Hello all! Miss me? Yeah, I know you did. Don't try to deny it. Just thought I'd drop in to give you guys an update on the Cavanagh life. Really, I just thought you might be gettin' sick of the "gettin' busy" kangaroos. I realize there's only so much you can stomach!
Much has been going on. First and foremost (since it's always about me) I'll be having another knee surgery in about a week (probably). The doctor decided something was definitely wrong when I showed up with a knee the size of a cantaloupe (or should I say rockmellon). But since I went back today and the swelling has gone down, he suggested that I stop taking my meds about a week before my appointment so that the orthopedic guy could see the "real thing". Sadist.
I'll be flying to Adelaide on the 11th, have an MRI on the 12th, and if everything goes as is expected I'll have surgery on the 13th. I'll fly home on Friday the 15th. Out of necessity, Jason will be staying here with the kids. I'll be all alone. Sniff, sniff. No seriously. If I could have imagined I would be getting a week alone with part of that time being waited on hand and foot by nursing staff, I would have taken a hammer to that knee months ago!
In the meantime, I've been going through a forced life transformation. Yes, due to one too many forgotten appointments and misplaced bills, I'm getting organized. Don't laugh. I'm really gonna do it this time. I'm really, really gonna do it this time. I have a whole list of steps I'm taking to get my life on track. Now, if I could just remember where I put the list, I could get on with it.
The kids are getting ready for their school concert. Sometime late in August. I'll be taking pictures and hopefully posting video. (Once I figure out how to do that for a video that's over 15 seconds long) I have pictures to post, but I need to touch them up in Photoshop Elements and convert them from the RAW format. But since I just got the program, I have to figure out which end is up first. Keep a watch out.
Car registration was due today, had to have the car "inspected" before registration and we failed. Due to tyres (that's how they spell it) that aren't "road worthy". Which of course sent images streaming through my head of the kids and I riding down the road at mach speed when all four tyres suddenly explode at once. Shivers and shite, that's scary! And of course, since I can never do things before the last minute, I had to get a temporary permit (another $35) to drive the car home and to the tyre shop. But I guess it's not so bothersome considering we're avoiding a firey death.
So the next few days goes like this: getting new tires today, shopping for groceries and hitting the library. We have dance Saturday morning and a dinner party Saturday night. Mass on Sunday. Monday is an Australian holiday, Picnic day (whatever that is). Jay has to work but the kids and I will be having a "picnic" with friends.
That's it in a nutshell. Boy, we lead an exciting life don't we?
