OK.  Less than 48 hours from my first of two reconstructive surgeries.  Keeping it together pretty well but the nerves are definitely showing.

I thought this would be a simply happy time,.  Finding out my whole department will be let go on October 2nd was a shock.  I have my 20 year company anniversary on August 28th, so I haven't interviewed for a job in over 20 years.  Scary.  In this economy - even scarier.

It's kind of hard to focus on only one drama at a time but right now the reconstruction gets the front seat.  I'm looking forward to 2-3 weeks of stress free rest and recovery.  That is where I am focusing my mind to take the stress off - I'm hoping the nerves calm down.

I'm taking my son (24) to see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow night so I spend the night before my surgery doing something fun and relaxing.  I'm going to have some waxing done after work today so I don't have to worry about under arm, leg, or eyebrow hair during this visit.  Last August I couldn't have imagined having a problem with extra hair anywhere - just trying to clear the decks. ;-)

I'm looking forwad to catching up with my DS friends after I've had a chance to heal a little.
