Gorgeous sunset, early night

We have to be out the door by 7:00 tomorrow morning for an 8:30 pre-surgery appointment in Yuba City.

Lucky for me, Mother Nature provided this gorgeous sunset that I can share tonight.

Perfect sign at the perfect time

I was in Yuba City last Thursday for a consultation about my hernia, the outcome of which is that I go back for surgery this coming Thursday. As part of the pre-op, I had to get blood drawn, and this was on the wall across from my chair.

I’ve never had real surgery (“gone under the knife”) before, so I most definitely appreciated seeing this sign in that moment.

Driving and more driving

I drove a total of approximately three hours today — to Yuba City, then Auburn, back to Grass Valley, and finally home to Nevada City — leaving the house at 9:00 this morning and returning around 6:00.

The stops along the way included a consultation about hernia surgery; lunch with my Dad and my sister; a follow-up exam for my dental implant; getting the car washed (it really needed it); and grocery shopping.

Needless to say, I am done in and rather desperately hoping to get to bed early.
