Woke up with a bit of a stomachache this morning. I can’t imagine why.

_____________

Actually, I’m a little puzzled as why it all hit me so hard last night. It’s not like there was really any new information yesterday–just a surgery date set. We already knew there would be surgery, and soon; there was no doubt about that. I guess somehow it finally got through to my lizard brain, which suddenly must have realized that Oh noes, something bad is happening to jaylake and people are going to do mean things to him! Aiiieee!

Anyway, I feel better this morning. I had weird dreams about needing someone to drive me home to Portland (hmm), then got up and had an excellent yoga practice. Today I need to work out logistics of when I’m leaving my job–looks like my last day will be the 20th, though I’ll still try to keep 12/1 as my “official” end date. Then have to get everything else organized for being gone for a while–orchids tended to, mail, etc. Oh, and must arrange to have my oil changed. And buy tire chains. (And now I am very glad I didn’t buy overpriced airline tickets for Thanksgiving weekend!)

And, well, my apartment is gorgeously clean.
