You got this lady. All systems are go. Order something delicious for supper tonight and something decadent for desert.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

Silly but good meal.  Spaghetti with an Italian sausage sauce, fried eggplant, fresh veggies, a good tomato rice soup, and peppermint ice cream pie for dessert. 

Yes, this was off the menu in my MIL's independent living facility.  They offer full table service breakfast, lunch, and dinners, in a very nice dining room.  Food, service and overall atmosphere were similar to better hotel restaurants in San Francisco, except for brighter lighting. 

We were joined by a retired professor of management and his friend, a retired foreign service officer for the government of Vietnam.  They were a couple of interesting characters, drawn to our table because they hadn't seen the woman dining with my MIL before and were curious, and quite eager to meet me.  I stood to greet them and did the usual fingertip shake ;) .   Frankly, I think they were a bit taken with me.  I didn't discourage them.  [emoji56]  At the end of the meal they wanted to know if I'd be back tomorrow.  Alas, not for a month or more.  Sorry, gentlemen.  [emoji1]

. Hi Michelle [emoji137] I'm so happy for you, everything is coming to plan.  I might make it to group tonight, not sure if that's on your agenda tonight. 
Hope to see you soon, Jessica [emoji136]

Obviously by now, I didn't make it to group.  Too busy teasing the retired professors...  Time flies when one is having fun.  I just got out of there too late to make it down to Oakland and group.

My apologies, but I'll see everyone in 5-6 weeks I think, if not sooner.

Oh, that's why I couldn't get the Keurig to close.  The GaviLyte isn't compatible.  Pesky hardware DRM nonsense, most likely.  I bet they did that on purpose.  It should be called out in the instructions, right next to "Do not operate in bathtub."

Note that Gavilyte can be used in the bathtub, but is definitely not recommended.

All the best, Michelle! Congratulations, and see you on the other side.

Michelle,

As I look at the time I see that by now you should be in the OR physically becoming the woman that you have always been inside. My thought and prayers go out to you for a flawless operation and a speedy recovery. I'm not religious but I know you are, so I will  say a prayer to that God of your for divine intervention that all goes as planned.

Hugs,
   Laurie
