I am supposed to take a box of books to the counselor at 2 this afternoon. That’s like 50-60 books and I don’t have any cataloged although I know where to find the box full that I’ll use (in the van).
But getting books from the van means that I need to get dressed, go out take the snow off the back of the van and haul the box inside. Not too hard, but I need to get started!
I also talked to my contact person at the hospital yesterday. I promised her the box for the hospital on the 15th, so that’s now a firm deadline too.
Also today, I need to:
Get to the storage and get the collectible paperbacks that I have a dealer interested in.
Get the cc machine which is probably going to be donated to the gallery DH and I are involved with.
Maybe grab either more bins and/or the bin rack to be butchered here and turned into a recycle rack.
Get the huge bulletin boart out for DH’s office, that can wait until this weekend.
Go by the bookstore and the storage and pay my January rent, pick up any unwanted books from the box I left yesterday and payment for whatever he bought.
Who knew that GIVING books away could be almost as much work as SELLING them?
I’m off—

Yesterday I did a 10 minute phone interview with a nurse as a part of the pre-op.
Then I drove to the clinic and we talked some more. She tried to get the anestheaologist to talk to me, but they had an emergency. She DID document my concerns and tell me the order things will happen next Friday.
I got an EKG, which at least preliminarily seemed to be ok, a chest xray, and more blood work.
Next week, effectively around noon on Thursday, this whole thing starts. That’s when I have to take the 1st bottle of damnable stuff that makes me gag. Sometime before 2 that day, I call the hospital and find out when I’m supposed to be there on Friday.
The preop nurse talked to me about what will happen once I get to the hospital on Friday and at least preliminarily will be there to answer questions and help me out. It will be nice to have a familiar face. She assured me that I can get a chance then to talk to the anestheseologist. Also, I can have DH along.
DH is covering for someone else who’s on vacation. Their major customer is a customer that is used to having rather instant service from DH’s company. They wanted him to go down every day next week and he said no. He has his own customers to deal with on Monday (something he does every week) and I’m in surgery on Friday, so he may go down there Tues-Thurs next week, but not otherwise.
I have a counselor appt. and a full-body massage on Thursday aside from emptying my colon and getting told when I actually get to the hospital. It’d be nice if they could tell you more than one day in advance when you’re supposed to be at the hospital. Why add to the stress? But they didn’t ask me, and if they do, I’ll tell ‘em so!
I’d really like DH with me on Thursday too, but that is apparently not going to happen, alas. If there wasn’t a customer (or 2) breathing down his neck for one thing or the other, I know his boss would let him go, but as it is—no.
