I am the proud owner of a new knee. Surgery went well. I think they will try to get me Up tonight.

Congrats! Hope the pain killers are working overtime!

Was just thinking of you ! Glad it went well and that they keep the pain relief up

Heal well my friend

Good thoughts/prayers for a complete healing with no complications!

Wow! -o- Wow! Major good news. I'm so glad all went smoothly. Heal well.

Wishing you well!

Good Morning Good Morning All :) Hard to believe this time next week I will be in Anaheim. Quite mind blowing indeed but first we fly to Tamworth (NSW) tommorrow night for DH graduation on Saturday. I have organised a service board meeting with the guys - we will have a bite to eat then I will drive to the airport and likely work while I wait for DH and our flight.

Made meat sauce last night - way way too much. Taking dinner over to our neighbours tonight and will drop some into my DS - my ex husband is having a hernia operation on Tuesday so they can pop it in the freezer for a quick meal during his recovery. Cortizone injection in my knee this afternoon as well

Have read with interest the posts about self care, maintenance and inner child. Still processing so I havent commented but I have practiced a little self care this week in amongst the craziness. I didnt go and see my SIL in hospital one night when I was so tired I was dizzy. I chose to have a super early night instead. I have been to the hairdressers and beautician and feel much better with my hair cut & coloured, a pedicure, waxing and I actually have nails! Figured given that I wont be working for 4+ weeks I would get some extensions - so Im sporting a french manicure (we figured it would last the best) and actual length - who would have thought! Feels very strange but nice. I will enjoy it as its rare.

Need to pack for the weekend and start to pack for US Trip. Those near LA and San Fran - is the weather starting to change or is it still mainly warm? I cant wait to leave our winter and all the rain and feel the sunshine on my face.

Im finally feeling like Im reaching the tail end of my to do list - most things are organised, paid, cleaned etc etc - now just have to push that last little bit till we board our flight at 6am Wednesday morning. Its been a big task to sort out 2 households and a farm - phew

Love to you all

I don't live on the west coast, but my one visit to SFO in August proved Mark Twain knew what he was talking about: "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". I would add, bring layers. Lots of layers.

Thanks :) Shall do

San Francisco is a temperature anomaly for CA! September bakes in the rest of the state. Cooler evenings sometimes and hot days all the time. A sweater for layers is good to have in the evening, but the rest of the season we basically sit in air conditioning to simulate autumn so we can wear warmer things.
